A New Life for Ariana Byrne

The Hiverton Sisters 1

By: Liz Hurley

Narrated by: Martha Mackintosh

This uplifting debut novel from Cornwall based writer, Liz Hurley, is sure to put a smile on your face.

Ariana Byrne knows how to survive. After becoming a guardian to her four little sisters after their parents died when she was only eighteen, she had to grow up quickly. Now shes in her twenties, stuck in a loveless marriage to Greg, trying to make ends meet for her young twins, William and Leo.

So when Ari is told that shes actually the Right Honourable Lady de Foix, Countess of Hiverton, owner of a sprawling estate in the village of Saxburgh, Norfolk, her first instinct is laughter. Surely the girl who has to choose between food and keeping the lights on isnt rich beyond her wildest dreams?

She knows how to take care of her sisters and her children, but how on earth can Ari take care of an entire village? How will she fight off the circling land developers from Saxburgh, and stop her in-laws from grabbing all the money for themselves?

And while shes struggling to settle in and settle down, shes making new friends and new mistakes. Yet, trusting her gorgeous, new neighbour, Sebastian Flint-Hyssop may be the biggest one of all...

Shes swapped sink estate for country estate...but can a girl from inner-city London learn how to become a Lady?

Fans of Jenny Colgan, Trisha Ashley and Carole Matthews will love this romantic, feelgood read.

Liz Hurley became a professional librarian for the money and the glamour. Not finding quite enough of either, she set up a bookshop with her husband in Cornwall. She didnt find much there either so she started writing. Now she has loads of money and glamour but only in the pages of her books!

oh wow

I started with book 3 and then I had to read this one and now can't wait to get into book two. love these sisters.

Funny, sweet read

Loved this story of sisters sticking together, a strong mother taking care of her loved ones and finding love in the midst of constant misunderstandings and comedic events. Looking forward to book 2.

Great first book of a series.

What a great first book of a series. I really enjoyed the story, characters and the narration was perfect. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

Excellent contemporary romance

Actually I’d call it equal parts romance, women’s fiction and a Cinderella story with several sisters - all good. The characterizations were sharp and believable, the protagonists very likable and the plot kept things moving.

The narration was equal to the task, her voice straightforward but involved.
