Ever wondered what tempestuous diva Teri Meyer, the naughty girl of our Friends trilogy carries in her handbag?

It’s not what you’d expect.

Teri may have a penchant for designer labels but the bottom of her bag is something else altogether…

You can find out more by visiting Lakewater Press.

For the next seven days they’ll be sharing exclusive extracts from A Forsaken Friend, the second novel in the Friends series, which opened in 2016 with A Falling Friend.

Book one was originally intended as a standalone novel but so many readers wanted to know what happened next that we decided to find out.

Published on March 21, A Forsaken Friend is character-driven contemporary women’s fiction, more diva lit than chick lit, and follows the lives of best friends Teri Meyer and Lee Harper as they navigate the ups-and-downs of their friendship whilst also juggling men, careers and family.

What the blurb says

No-one said friendship was easy.

Things can’t get much worse for Teri Meyer. If losing her job at the university and the regular allowance from her dad’s factory isn’t bad enough, now her ex-best friend has gone and stolen her ex-husband!

Well, to hell with them all. A few weeks in the countryside at her brother’s smallholding should do the trick – and the gorgeous and god-like neighbour might help.

But then there’s Declan, not to mention Duck’s Arse back in Yorkshire…

It’s not as if Lee Harper set out to fall in love with her best friend’s ex-husband.

But, for once, her love life is looking up – except for all the elephants in the room, not to mention Mammy’s opinions about her dating a twice-divorced man.

Perhaps things aren’t as rosy as she first thought. And now with one family crisis after another, Lee’s juggling more roles – and emotions – than she ever imagined.

Maybe sharing her life with a man wasn’t such a grand idea.

A Forsaken Friend is currently available to pre-order on Amazon for just 99p. And you can pick up a copy of A Falling Friend free on Amazon until March 26.
