Desperately Seeking...

Evelyn Cosgrave is a maths teacher, a mum of two little girls, Dharma and Maya, and now, with the publication of Desperately Seeking, a novelist. She lives in Limerick.

Kate never intended the get-over guy to fall in love with her ... 
 
No, Keith was just the lovely fella who was definitely not her type, but would help her feel good about herself while she got over one of the World's Biggest Bastards. However, after the initial shock of hearing herself agree to marry him, Kate reckons that for once she is doing the right thing. A future with a wonderful man who is kind, generous, great in bed, sure to be a model husband and father and who - no mean feat this - can put up with her big mad family, is exactly what she wants. 
 
But is it? 
 
Because whatever her head might be doing, she can't stop her heart pushing her towards the most surprising - and unsuitable - man she could possibly fall for ...

One hot sticky summer three very different sisters, each with something to hide, descend on their granny . . . 
 
Susan has just broken up with her fiancé, but she isn't exactly telling the full story . . . 
 
Felicity, elegant and successful, usually spends her brief holidays on top of a mountain or shopping on Fifth Avenue, so how come she's spending so long 'just chilling out' . . . 
 
And Marianne, carefree and feckless, perennially on the run from boyfriends and jobs, what kind of a mess has she got herself into this time? 
 
Add to the mix an intriguing long-lost cousin, and Angela, their long-suffering granny . . . well, something has to give and when it does the girls' lives will be transformed for ever.
