Today I have been asked to be part of the cover reveal team for Julie Cohen's new book The Day of Second Chances which is being published on 16th January 2016 (hint to family & friends... just in time for my birthday).
Can you imagine keeping a secret so devastating, you couldn’t even tell the people you love?
Honor’s secret threatens to rob her of the independence she’s guarded ferociously for eighty years.
Jo’s secret could smash apart the ‘normal’ family life she’s fought so hard to build.
Lydia’s secret could bring her love - or the loss of everything that matters to her.
One summer’s day, grandmother, mother and daughter’s secrets will collide in a single dramatic moment.
Is it too late for second chances?

Lately, Felicity just can't shake a shadow of uncertainty. Her husband Quinn is the kindest person she knows and loves her peculiarities more than Felicity feels she deserves. But suddenly it's as if she doesn't quite belong.
Then Felicity experiences something extraordinary: a scent of perfume in the air which evokes memories that have been settled within her for a long time, untouched and undisturbed. As it happens again and again, the memories of a man Felicity hasn't seen for ten years also flutter to the surface. And so do the feelings of being deeply, exquisitely in love . . .
Overwhelmed and bewildered by her emotions, Felicity tries to resist sinking blissfully into the past. But what if something truly isn't as it should be? What if her mind has been playing tricks on her heart?
Which would you trust?
Claire and Ben are the
perfect couple. But behind the glossy façade, they’ve been desperately
trying – and failing – to have a baby for years. Now, the stress and
feelings of loss are taking their toll on their marriage. Claire’s ready
to give up hope and get on with her life, but Ben is not. And then
Ben’s best friend, Romily, offers to conceive via artificial
insemination and carry the baby for them.
Romily acts in good
faith, believing it will be easy to be a surrogate. She’s already a
single mother, and has no desire for any more children. Except that
being pregnant with Ben’s child stirs up all sorts of emotions in her,
including one she’s kept hidden for a very long time: Ben’s the only man
she’s ever loved.
Two mothers—and one baby who belongs to both of them, and which only one of them can keep.
