See, what happened was, our lives were going really well. My mum got a promotion, I enrolled in an A-list school, and then my Dad had this great idea to start an empire. But now he's 'gone to the country'. What does that mean? Is it the same place they take old, sick dogs? Has he joined a cult? It's been two months now, and I still don't know what it means. Declan, the boy next door, says that my dad's in hospital, but everyone's dying as far as Declan is concerned. Now there are strange people living in our spare rooms, and all my stuff is on the lawn. I've tried to raise it with my mum, but she talks to me as if I am a four-year-old - when she talks to me at all, which is less and less lately. Hello! Can somebody please tell me what's going on?

Andrea writes romances with a twist. About the Author: Andrea Stein is an author, blogger and mother. She has been writing since she could hold a pencil and typing up books since she was in high school.

A big believer in happy endings, Andrea is married to her high school sweetheart and lives with her family in an old farmhouse, writing in the fixed up barn. When not writing, she’s playing chauffeur, reading, cooking and trying not to eat all the red twizzlers at once. From the AuthorI love happy endings. I don’t know if it’s the romantic in me, or the fact that I like to know how everything is wrapped up. That’s why I love romance so much – no matter how bumpy the road, we know that these two people deserve to be together. Every couple is special and it’s the characters story that drives my books. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them. Every book contains characters and places that are special to me and represent people searching for a place to call their own. Even if they have to solve a bit of a mystery or fight off some bad guys to make it happen. But above all, it’s about the romance of the story.More About the Book:After a bitter break up and professional set back in London, twenty seven year old Caitlyn has returned to Queensbay to work for Maxwell Randall, an old family friend.
