NEW RELEASE


To Have and to Hold - Helen Chandler (2014)

Married mother of two Ella bumps into her schoolday crush during a hens' weekend. They spend a night of passion together but Ella soon realises she doesn't want to jeopardise her marriage to Greg. But Callum wants more and makes plans to move on from his own marriage to Liz, who has little time or sympathy for their teenage daughter Phoebe. Meanwhile Ella's friend Imogen finally realises that slacker Pete, the father of her daughter Indigo, is not someone she can rely on. This story about temptation and the lure of a different existence offers an interesting, often thought-provoking, take on the challenges of relationships and family life.



To Have and to Hold, by Helen Chandler, asks what happens when happily ever doesn't work out quite as you expected? The summary says: "From the outside, Ella has the happy marriage, the cute kids and the comfortable home - inside, she craves something more. But giving in to temptation will stir up a whole heap of trouble ... Imogen's relationship with Pete was once fun and carefree but since they've become parents, everything is different. Then an accident provides the catalyst for a life-changing decision. Fifteen-year-old Phoebe is miserable at home and at school. And now her dad, who was always her ally, seems completely distracted by something - or someone. Maybe it's time Phoebe took a stand, and took control of her own life. As Ella, Imogen and Phoebe contemplate taking the biggest risk of their lives, marriages, families and friendships hang in the balance. Should they take the leap, or will they risk losing everything?" To Have and to Hold is out in June 2014.
