Other people's summers / by Morgan, Sarah(Romance fiction writer),author.;
In school, Milly Beckett and Nicole Raven were as close as sisters. Now, years later, a gulf separates them, and not just because of the different spheres they inhabit. Nicole is a global superstar with the world at her fingertips, but when scandal breaks, she turns to the only person she trusts. Fresh from a painful divorce and struggling to balance her work and raising her daughter alone, Milly is tempted to refuse her friend's plea for help. Nicole wasn't there for her when she needed her most, and that's hard to forgive. But Nicole is desperate and Milly agrees to give her the sanctuary she needs. Against a stunning Lake District backdrop, stilted small talk gradually gives way to soul-deep revelations as the two women slowly find their way back to one another. Living with Milly gives Nicole a glimpse of a different path for herself, and Milly starts to see a life beyond her divorce, including the possibility of a new romance. But Nicole can't stay hidden forever--and neither can the secret she's been keeping from Milly, a secret that threatens both her future happiness and the fragile bond between them.
