Independent Lady — Kristy McCallum

Misleading encounters.

Lucy needed to get away from London, and the farmhouse in Normandy was just the place. It was a long-promised inheritance from a much-loved aunt, and Lucy determined to live there, continuing her career as Mary Bear, writing and illustrating children's stories.

It came as a very real shock to discover that J J O'Donnell thought he'd bought all the land for developing a holiday complex! He might be a charismatic high flyer, but when the mystery was solved Lucy still wasn't going to sell to him.

Hero: J J O'Donnell
