Summer days on a Spanish vineyard

English archaeologist Dr Amancia Harding has looked after her family for five years. Now it’s time to take care of herself, and leading a team on a dig in Spain is the perfect vehicle for doing so.

Her good intentions to propel her career forward are threatened when she meets vineyard owner Max. Damaged by war in Ukraine and a tragic event in his past, he’s given up on relationships and taken refuge in making wine, but the attraction he feels to Amancia forces him to confront painful issues, and there’s the gulf between their two cultures to consider if a relationship is to have any chance of success.

Ambitious and fiery in character, can either accept that compromise is sometimes necessary to find happiness?

Visit South America – and Wales

Family tradition dictates the women go home to Wales to find a husband, but it’s 1966 and Tegan Lewis, daughter of a wealthy Colombian cattle rancher, rejects this old-fashioned idea.

And she’s going to marry Luís, son of a local politician with ambitions. But when it comes to it, she can’t bend to his desire to turn her into a society lady. Deeply hurt that he doesn’t understand her need to prioritise the ranch while her father is recovering from cancer, she makes a complete break with him and ends up on a journey half way across the world – to a remote Welsh village and a chance to discover her roots.

She’s certainly not looking for love, but high in the Brecon Beacons, she meets sheep farmer Hywel Davies – handsome, intense and with a tragic past – and soon realises how shallow her previous relationship was.

Divided by two very different cultures and 5,000 miles of ocean, can they find a way to make a life together?

Travel to Italy

Talented designer Isla Bruni is keen to widen her experience before setting up her own interiors business, so she accepts an exchange with a top studio located in an Italian hilltop town. She doesn’t trust Italian men – after all, hasn’t she had a good reason? But irresistible, sexy entrepreneur Edmondo Benedetti turns her carefully ordered life upside down. How can she realize her ambitions without sacrificing love? Only when she’s thrust into danger does she begin to understand what is important.

The past is the past. Yet if secrets buried there resurface, could they destroy her future?

We’re in the depths of winter, ready to indulge ourselves, perhaps. What better way than to enjoy each day by finishing with a good book.
