Five authors have gathered at the idyllic Lakeside Cottage for a retreat with the promise of dedicated writing time. At least that's the idea . . . Retreat organiser Rula is there to edit surrounded by like-minded souls. An interloper with whom she has a past was certainly not part of her plan. Eve has a bad case of writer's block despite numerous bestsellers under her belt. Can she find new inspiration? Alice has a deadline looming but seems more interested in anything but writing. And where does she keep disappearing to? Daphne is an experienced self-published author but might she be more unconventional in other ways too? And then there's Brontë the complete novice. She's a mere scribbler and she feels totally out of her depth. As the collective word count grows and their stories interweave each woman finds herself drawn in unexpected directions. . .

Part of the Lakeside Cottage series.
