Finding a soul-mate for a mother who deserves to be loved! Meg's teenage daughter, Lindsey, had the nerve to place a personal ad on her behalf

Did a teenage matchmaker get it right? Robin Masterton's young son, Jeff, thinks he needs a dog more than anything in the world. & there just happens to be one next door! But the friendly black Lab belongs to Cole Camden, the unfriendliest man in the neighbourhood. Still, Jeff persists
- & ropes his mum in as the persuader. Perhaps there's a chance he'll have a dog, & a dad in time for Father's Day... Make time for friends. Make time for Debbie Macomber.

A Mountain In Tibet
£2.99
Throughout the East there runs a legend of a great mountain at the centre of the world, where four rivers have their source. Charles Allen traces this legend to Western Tibet where there stands Kailas, worshipped by Hindus & Buddhists alike as the home of their gods & the navel of the world. Close by are the sources of four mighty rivers: the sacred Ganges, the Indus, the Sutlej & Tsangpo-Brahmaputra. For centuries Kailas remained an enigma to the outside world. Then a succession of remarkable men took up the challenge of penetrating the hostile, frozen wastelands beyond the Western Himalayas, culminating in the great age of discovery, the final years of the Victorian era. A Mountain in Tibet is an extraordinary story of exploration & high adventure, full of the excitement & colour. ...

Their small Yorkshire farm is run-down and isolated and when the only way to take their goods to market is lost, Quinta is prepared to sacrifice almost anything for both of them to survive. Coveted. Noah Bilton, a wealthy neighbour, has designs on Top Field as well as ideas for the future of Laura and her daughter. He offers an uneasy solution to keep them out of the workhouse, but Laura Haig will have nothing to do with it, or him. When strangers appear at Top Field looking for shelter, Quinta's hopes are renewed - but Noah is resolved to take what he wants by fair means or foul. Deserted. Quinta finds love against all odds, but is deserted at her most vulnerable. The hardships that
follow give her a steely determination to seek retribution from the man who has wronged her - but can revenge ever bring back her happiness?
