Five Ladies Go Skiing — Karen Aldous

Five ladies, one unforgettable trip…

Escape to gorgeous Switzerland this winter with the brand new, uplifting read from Karen Aldous.

When Ginny Watts' husband passes away, she is left grief-stricken, not only over her husband's death but the secrets he has left behind…

Luckily for Ginny, she has four wonderful friends â€" Lou, Cathy, Angie and Kim â€" poised to whisk her away on a ladies' skiing holiday to beautiful La Tzoumaz, Switzerland.

While all of them appear to have their lives together from the outside, little do the ladies know that every single one of them is fighting a secret battle.

As the trip unfolds, they realise that fears of tumbling down the slopes after too much après-ski fun is the least of their worries and all is not what it seems…

A novel of love, loss and friendship, perfect for fans of Jules Wake, Erica James and Cathy Kelly.

About the author

Karen Aldous enjoys village life on the edge of the north-downs in Kent with easy access to the buzz of London. Not only does she love the passive pleasures of reading and writing but craves the more active pursuits, walking, cycling and skiing especially when they involve family, friends, food, and…wine!

Much of Karen's inspiration comes from her travels. The UK, France, Switzerland and USA are just some you'll be transported to in her books, but wherever she goes, new characters invite themselves into 'Karen's World' screaming at her to tell their stories; strong independent women who are capable of directing their own lives â€" but struggle to control them…especially when temptation strikes!

As a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and The Write Place, Karen feels she owes so much of her success to the love and support of her fellow writers
