Publisher Marketing: LOVE IN THE LAKES A tale of desire, deception and loss set in the beautiful English Lake District. European Contemporary Romance Series Book 5 Spanning several years, LOVE IN THE LAKES is a potent story of love, family secrets, deception and unquenchable desire. Lucie Meuret, now in her late twenties, returns to Keswick in Cumbria, after an absence of over four years. She has travelled from Saint Pargoire in the South of France to attend the funeral of Alan Mortimer, a man for whom her feelings are strongly ambivalent. In fact, she has had difficulty with all of the Mortimers, but especially Keir, with whom she shares a difficult and turbulent history. It would seem that the passing of time has eased painful memories and Lucie manages to renew the powerful bond that she shares with Keir. However, as she returns to France to look after her ailing Aunt Marie, the past returns to haunt Lucie and she re-lives the shattering events of her early years in Keswick. Various shocking revelations follow shortly after Alan's funeral and Lucie has to re-assess her entire emotional landscape. This is a must-read and powerful tale of family loyalty, desperate desire and the destructive consequences of deception. Enjoy LOVE IN THE LAKES as holiday reading, or just take time out in your busy life and immerse yourself in the twists and turns of this compelling love story.

Contributor Bio:  Pagram, Anna Anna Pagram was born south of London in the UK but has spent most of her adult life in the north west of the country. She has loved reading for as long as she can remember and she started writing her own stories when she was still in single figures. She believes that stories have the power to help us to make sense of our own lives and understand other people better. An avid reader herself, she knows that there is nothing better than losing yourself in a good story and becoming immersed in the plot and the lives of the characters. As well as writing novels, Anna adores (and also writes) poetry. After a long career in education and with her family grown, she has now embarked upon the next stage in her life. Travelling with her husband has become a favourite activity, realising the dream of visiting beautiful places and experiencing other cultures. Following the success of RHODES TO ROMANCE, TEMPTATION IN TUSCANY and UNDER SPANISH STARS, Anna has just published her fourth novel in her European Contemporary Romance Series: PASSION IN PROVENCE A Sensual Tale of Romance and Rapture, set in Provence in the South of France and Snowdonia in North Wales.
