Has Grace found solace with the Greek billionaire boss of the Media Network Maxim Andreous? After a chance meeting in a corridor Max is besotted with Grace.
But have the two lovers left behind the past, or will the past reappear to threaten their lives and the lives of their children?

‘Clouds Got in my Way’ – Mia Gregory

Freya, already disillusioned with life, enters her eighteenth year confused as to where she should go. It's the sixties and Freya's liberal mother holds court every night in an open house: a 48 year old teenager partying with her daughter's friends. It's embarrassing. Freya needs space, Freya needs a chance to mature and find her way. Enter Frank.
A ‘Roman God' is what Freya thinks the first time she sees him when she starts work in the HMV store in London, and for this girl, whose experiences so far have taught her that sex is sordid, only this kind of man would have the chance to change her mind. But he's older, and married, and has children. So we follow Freya into the mature world of emotional turmoil: it will make her, or break her, but she has to take that leap.

‘Pets Aplenty’ – Malcolm D. Welshman

Join novice vet, Paul Mitchell, in a further six months of hilarious escapades he experiences while working at Prospect House Veterinary Hospital. He's confronted by a ravenous pig while sunbathing naked in a cornfield. He locks jaws with a caiman with scale rot and battles with Doug, a vicious miniature donkey that's always sinking his teeth into him. It ends with a Christmas pet blessing which erupts into pandemonium as frightened pets and owners scatter through the pews. Throughout his adventures, Paul is loyally supported by the team at the hospital - in particular Beryl, the elderly one-eyed receptionist, and, Lucy the junior nurse - together with whom he shares this merry-go-round of mayhem. It's a gripping, fast page-turner that's guaranteed to keep animal lovers entranced.
