Love Under French Skies

In a beautiful French valley, a woman discovers renewed hope and a message of love sent down the years

Fiona Grange feels her life is over.

In a career rut, abandoned by her husband, with a daughter who has left home and a best friend who has recently re-married, life seems to be passing her by.

Then a letter from a French lawyer shakes everything up: it seems she has inherited a house in France from an aunt she didn’t even know she had.

Fiona recognises that this might be just what she needs and, taking voluntary redundancy from her lecturing job, packs up and goes to see the house for herself.

The beautiful Lot valley and the people she meets in the village begin a much-needed healing process.

Fiona falls head over heels in love with France, and with the house — not to mention two very different but equally attractive men: sensible, solid Englishman Mike and wildly impulsive Frenchman Xavier.

And Aunt Bernice’s real legacy turns out to be something more deeply significant and life-changing than the house itself.

But Fiona has to find out exactly what that is for herself….

Love Under French Skies is a charming contemporary romance, inspired by a real house, with a wonderful view, in the beautiful Lot region of South West France.
