PRITCHET 'Keane's distinctive blend of elegant savagery and deep affection' EVENING STANDARD Those who suffered because of her might think of Mary that she hurt others, herself she could not hurt; but Jer, knowing her better . . . knew she hurt herself perhaps most deeply. Since the death of her parents, Roguey, Maeve and Jer have cared for one another and for Sorristown, their elegant home. Together they have fished and hunted, unravelled secrets by bedroom fires and sipped gin cocktails. But this pattern of intimacy is about to be broken by Maeve's marriage to Rowley. A week before the wedding, her bridesmaid Mary arrives. Meeting her for the first time Rowley describes Mary as a 'factor for disturbance', little realising the extent to which his prophecy will prove true for each of them.

Nurse Kirsten Bailey believes family comes first. She refuses to cut former army medic Brady Hewitt any slack for not responding immediately to his ill grandmother’s plea for his presence.

While they work together to help his grandmother and two young boys, Kirsten sees the sincerity of Brady’s kindness and charm. Kirsten wants to return to the mission field, so falling for Brady is out of the question. But she can’t dismiss the idea that he might be the man who will make her stay forever.

One last dance might change everything. When Prince Tristian Fontaine asks Harper Thackery to remodel the interior of his family home, she isn’t sure it’s her design skills he really requires. His primary intent appears to be using their relationship to deflect other women and his matchmaking mother. He knows Harper intends to marry another man, which makes her safe—completely off limits by her own decree. But why does Tristian have to dance so . . . well, like a prince? And why does his gaze turn her insides to liquid fire? Harper finds herself torn between two dreams, the happily-ever-after she always imagined and a fairy tale that might not be real. All because of a magical night and a chance meeting with a prince. If only she has the courage to accept one last dance that might change everything. Because in Beaumont, fairy tales do come true.
