Courting Catherine


Book Description

First in The Calhoun Women series, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts’s Courting Catherine begins a story of sisters bound by their family’s ancestral home and determined to forge their own futures. The once grand mansion known as the Towers has stood on the Maine coast for decades. It was supposed to symbolize the Calhoun family legacy, but instead has fallen into a desperate state of disrepair. Catherine “C. C.” Calhoun and her sisters have inherited both the mansion and the responsibility of restoring the Towers back to its former glory—only to struggle with escalating costs. Hotelier Trenton St. James believes the estate’s time has passed and that the town would be served better if the property were converted into a luxury resort. But his business negotiation skills fail to persuade C. C.—whose fighting spirit and driving passions capture his heart and compel him to build something more loving and lasting between them.




The Calhouns: Catherine and Amanda


Book Description

Courting Catherine: "All hard-driving executive Trenton St. James III had on his mind was business-making the final arrangements to buy a run-down old mansion on the coast of Maine. He wasn't expecting any complications. And he definitely wasn't expecting anything like Catherine `C.C.' Calhoun. This feisty, independent-minded young woman bristled at the very thought of her family's most highly prized possession ending up as part of some faceless hotel chain. And she seemed to bristle at the very sight of Trenton St. James, too. But all that was going to have to change, because Trent not only wanted her home, he wanted her, too. And he wasn't a man who took no for an answer."--

Currently Between Husbands


Book Description

Trust me, there is life and love (and plenty of laughter) after divorce, even when your ex is one of Australia’s highest profile sport stars. Actually, I Don’t Like Cricket Or Blow Jobs! (And to be honest, I suck at both.) Yes, that was what I originally wanted to call this book. But then I realised that some women like cricket. Also, reading this in front of your inquisitive seven-year-old could lead to some awkward conversations. So, in stepped Currently Between Husbands to save the day and any blushes. Having a relationship in the spotlight is hard enough, but in Currently Between Husbands, Cathrine Mahoney details the unique experience of breaking up with one of Australia's highest profile sport stars. Even for a self-confessed over-sharer, the breakdown of her marriage to rugby league player Andrew Johns was more public than she was used to. In her first book, the writer, podcaster and publicist provides a self-deprecating and hilarious look at her life – from fashion mistakes and early crushes as a kid growing up in Wales, to her years working with some of the world's biggest stars at Sony Music, to navigating life and love as a ‘solo’ mum, and coming to terms with hitting the big 4-0. Currently Between Husbands is the equivalent of having a chat with your bestie over a drink or two, with all the inappropriate confessions, front bottom revelations and teary moments that entails. ‘Desperately funny, fearless and full of heart.’ Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss ‘Strap in. You’re in for a fabulous ride. And you’ll be wishing (like I was before I knew her) that she was your friend. It’s a bloody good book, and I didn’t want it to end.’ Amanda Keller OAM, radio and TV host ‘My all-time favourite movie is Bridget Jones’ Diary – to anoint a real-life version is a big deal – but Cathrine Mahoney is it Bridget to a tee. I’d pay to read a post it note she wrote, let alone a book. Cathrine’s ability to be funny, clever, relatable, self-deprecating and just so loveable is unlike anyone I’ve ever met.’ Erin Molan, TV presenter, radio host and writer




22 Britannia Road


Book Description

A tour de force that echoes modern classics like Suite Francaise and The Postmistress. "Housekeeper or housewife?" the soldier asks Silvana as she and eight- year-old Aurek board the ship that will take them from Poland to England at the end of World War II. There her husband, Janusz, is already waiting for them at the little house at 22 Britannia Road. But the war has changed them all so utterly that they'll barely recognize one another when they are reunited. "Survivor," she answers. Silvana and Aurek spent the war hiding in the forests of Poland. Wild, almost feral Aurek doesn't know how to tie his own shoes or sleep in a bed. Janusz is an Englishman now-determined to forget Poland, forget his own ghosts from the way, and begin a new life as a proper English family. But for Silvana, who cannot escape the painful memory of a shattering wartime act, forgetting is not a possibility. One of the most searing debuts to come along in years, 22 Britannia Road. is the wrenching chronicle of how these damaged people try to become, once again, a true family. An unforgettable novel that cries out for discussion, it is a powerful story of primal maternal love, overcoming hardship, and, ultimately, acceptance-one that will pierce your heart.

And he wasn't a man who took no for an answer A Man For Amanda Amanda Calhoun had always been the sensible one, forever struggling to keep her, well...eccentric family out of trouble. And the instant she laid eyes on architect Sloan O'Riley, she knew he was trouble. So this arrogant, insufferable Harvard-educated cowboy thought he was going to turn her family's beloved - and slightly decrepit - home into a hotel, did he? Well, she'd just see about that... Sloan seemed a little too interested in Calhoun family history - their famous missing emeralds, for instance. He also seemed a little too interested in Amanda. The hotel was shaping up nicely under his oh-so-skilled hands. But it was becoming clear that Amanda was what he most wanted to get those hands on...
