Tangled Hearts and Blackberry Thorns — Laura Briggs

Hen night planner Teagen is back for more wild antics, and this time she wants wedding planner Julianne’s professional advice on...how to steal the heart of a married man??!Can it be true? Julianne is utterly shocked and appalled when Teagen appeals to her for help capturing the attention of handsome—and seemingly married—attorney Robert in exchange for helping Julianne and the village outwit a scheming businessman’s plans to turn cosy Ceffylgwyn into a party lovers’ haven.But is Teagen really asking the unthinkable, or is there more to this outlandish request than meets the eye? Julianne can only hope that finding out doesn’t involve another foray into Teagen’s wild world of parties, brawls, and crazy caravan rides through Cornish countryside as she attempts to keep the village out of harm’s reach. But her meeting with Teagen is a shocking one – for reasons as far from Julianne’s imagination as possible.Meanwhile, a very different crisis awaits Julianne at home regarding the family’s future with foster son Joel. Can they bear to lose him if circumstances take his life in a new direction? And elsewhere in the village, animal rescuer Rosie’s attempts to save a neglected pony lead to an unexpected friendship with a charming ‘animal whisperer’ named Thamis. This could be the connection Rosie’s been looking for at long last …. or maybe the potential for a bit of heartbreak as autumn unfolds in a season of second chances and surprises in a charming Cornish village.
