The Seven Secrets of Happiness Sharon Owens

Ruby O’Neill leads a charmed life in a perfect house on an elegant street, married to gorgeous Jonathan who adores her.

It is a snowy Christmas Eve and Ruby blissfully decorates their Christmas tree, dreaming of a wonderfully romantic holiday season when she and Jonathan will enjoy lovely lie-ins and start the baby she longs for.

Then a telephone call shatters her fairytale existence forever.

In the New Year Ruby picks herself up and finds comfort in sewing seven exquisite little velvet bags which seem touched by magic. Through them her life is touched by the lives of others and she learns six secrets which begin to thaw her frozen heart.

And little does she know she has a guardian angel watching over her. Though wounded himself, he holds in his hands the seventh secret and Ruby’s chance of having love blossom again in her life.

Another heart-warming tale of love and friendship from bestselling author Sharon Owens.

Mags, Julie's PA, is left to run the business single-handedly while Julie and Jay continue their sizzling affair. It doesn't help when Mags' family life is plunged into chaos. Mags has to handle it all, while dealing with Julie's jilted boyfriend and a hysterical bride as well!

And that's all before a middle-aged rock star and his supermodel girlfriend turn up asking for a Gothic-themed wedding...complete with bats and 666 guests...

The Tavern on Maple Streetsowens6 €9.99 €6.99
Beautiful Lily Beaumont and her husband Jack are owners of a genuine Victorian Tavern, situated on one of Belfast’s few remaining narrow cobbled streets. They have been married for twenty years and have spent that time madly in love and contented in their own little world with their regular customers. It is a quiet place, untouched by the modern world, and that is why the customers like it so much.

But one day, Dublin-based developer Vincent Halloran comes to Belfast with big plans for Maple Street. The other traders are keen to sell up and retire.

As Christmas approaches, Lily decides to hire four pretty barmaids and two handsome singers, in a final bid to save the Tavern. Enter pint-sized man-eater Bridget O’Malley, lazy art student Daisy Hardcastle, neurotic Trudy Valentine and painfully shy Marie Smith. Not to mention the handsome Devaney brothers with their tight leather trousers and acoustic guitars.

But is it too little, too late?

The Ballroom on Magnolia Street On a hot summer’s night in 1967, Johnny “Hollywood” Hogan parked his pale blue Lincoln continental on Portstewart Strand and solemnly told his beautiful girlfriend Marion that he would always love her. Marion, pregnant and terrified of a scandal, fled to the safe embrace of gentle baker Eddy Greenwood. Seven months later, Declan was born. Too late, Johnny realised what he had lost. He consoled himself with running his precious ballroom on Magnolia Street. Fast forward to 1987, and Declan is a young man who loves pop music and wearing army surplus overcoats. Marion and Eddy worry that he will drop out of medical college and join a rock band. But then Declan meets Shirley Winters and within weeks they are expecting a child of their own. Will history repeat itself?
The Tea House on Mulberry Street sowens2 €9.99 €6.99
The Tea House on Mulberry Street "I build the characters completely before I begin. They have a goal and they just go for it. Sometimes they get lucky and sometimes they don't. I like to think that reflects real life." "Do I have a particular style? I don't think so; at least I am not conscious of one. I suppose my writing is like an old-fashioned scrapbook of ideas and emotions. I used to have to compile a personal notebook at Art College and putting together The Tea House on Mulberry Street was a little bit like that. I'm terribly sentimental, I think that probably shows in the book!" The Tea House on Mulberry Street is truly groundbreaking fiction from an author who has combined her artistic talent and vibrant imagination to create a warm, moving, often funny, tale heavy with nostalgia, romance and everyday life. An intelligent read for women of all ages who like to indulge.
