Excerpt:
Thanks so much to Nicole for featuring an extract from my book bundle A Wedding in Cornwall: Books 7-12. The scene I’ve chosen to share is from Book 7, A Romance in Cornwall, and shows the heroine Julianne readjusting to life in Cornwall after temporarily returning to the States in the previous novella. She is settling back into her job as the event planner for a local manor house, when the housemaid Gemma imparts some exciting news:
I was searching for a good spot for a butterfly paperweight, a gift from Aimee, when my office door opened and Gemma's head popped inside. "Have you heard the rumors yet?" she asked.
One thing which hadn't changed — at least not that I could see — was Gemma's love for news, gossip, and all things rumored in Ceffylgwyn.
"Not of an event?" I made the idea sound terrible, even though it was how I made my living as an event planner. But the thought of a celebrity wedding or another celebrated baking show was the last thing I really wanted at the moment. With Nathan in Paris, I thought maybe the manor could enjoy a brief lull in spectacular or surprising events, at least until I felt more like my old self.
"No, nothing like that," said Gemma. "I'm talking about the celebrity sighting. Andy's mum's best friend's sister does for the Pendragon from time to time, you know, when she's not cleaning houses over in Truro; and she said she saw the names on the hotel register the other day and recognized one right away — a famous writer, no less. And you'll never guess who."
"Who?" I said. The Pendragon was a hotel not far from Falmouth, and it was known for now and then attracting a few special guests en route to Penzance. Since Gemma's celebrity-crazy days had dwindled in Pippa's absence, I imagined it must be someone extremely recognizable.
"Rowena St. James? The romance novelist?" said Gemma. "You've heard of her, surely. Even my mum's read all her books, and she usually only reads a good spy novel now and then."
"Rowena St. James?" I said. "The author of The Lightkeeper's Heart?" I had a copy of her first and most famous book on a shelf at home, tucked next to Matt's Treatise on the Flora and Fauna of Southern England. Romance and gardens go hand in hand, in my opinion.
"That's her. And rumor says she's taking a room at the Dumnonian," whispered Gemma, excitedly. "Anyway, that's what she heard from Charlotte Jones's sister what delivers dairy goods there on Thursdays, when she told her about the register. Mind you, we're not supposed to spread it around, since it's not certain. And the guest book's supposed to be private, too. We wouldn't want to get anyone into trouble."
I tried not to smile, knowing that Gemma was not only breaking this rule without a second's thought, but so was everyone else in the village, too. "Of course," I said. "I won't tell anyone."
