Summary
Dating back to when Carla and Lisa first met, we follow their relationship from enemies, to friends, to lovers through their journal entries. (There is brief Carla/Peter, as it starts during the Stephen Reid storyline but as we know, DS Swain soon dispatches him!). Trying something a bit different to my usual style.

Summary
Carla Connor is a bestselling author struggling with writer’s block and the overwhelming pressure of fame. Seeking respite from the media storm and a chance to reconnect with her passion for writing, she retreats to the small, quiet town of Willowbrook.
Lisa, a retired police officer, owns a cosy independent bookstore in Willowbrook after the tragic loss of her wife. Living a quieter life, she’s content in her small-town refuge, far removed from the chaos of the outside world.
When Carla stumbles upon Lisa’s bookshop, she’s intrigued by the small, blonde owner who seems to know nothing about her fame. But what Carla doesn’t know is that Lisa knows exactly who she is and is a big fan. As their paths cross more often, a bond forms. One that unexpectedly grows deeper, leaving both women questioning just how much their lives might change in this quiet town.
