THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE

Love may hurt, but not loving hurts more… New novel by the winner of the Festival of Romance’s Best Romantic Read 2014

January Wild has never liked estate agents so how can it be that she ends up working for one? Especially one in the shape of Ward Metcalfe, a soulless corporate slave driver. January can’t stop comparing him to her old, charming boss. He understood that January had to juggle her career with looking after her 11-year-old daughter Isla. He could also see the deep scar left by January’s first love, the father of Isla, the scar that has stopped her from trusting to love again.

When Ward reduces their office to nothing but a battleground, all January has to do is to close her eyes, hear the sound of the waves and hear her grandmother’s voice. She only has to pick up the telephone to talk to granddad. January was raised by her grandparents. They taught her true sacrifice, courage and the things you do for love.

She also learned from them that nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and sure enough January soon begins to see a different, more compassionate side to Ward. Yet, what is he hiding from her? His hatred of their archrival, Spencer, goes way beyond the office.

Soon January is determined to find out what it is that haunts Ward, but how far will she go to find out?
