The blurb for Miranda’s Mount & a big relief for me

June 28, 2012

Woo hoo. Here’s the blurb for Miranda’s Mount which is out worldwide in October:

A sexy, funny contemporary romance set in Cornwall from popular UK women’s fiction author, Phillipa Ashley

When Miranda finds herself fighting for her home, her job and her heart, sleeping with the enemy may not be the best tactic…

With no family of her own, Miranda Marshall has developed a healthy respect – some would say obsession – with other people’s histories. As property manager of a spectacular island castle in Cornwall, she’s made St Merryn’s Mount one of the UK’s most popular heritage attractions. While she may have the castle running like clockwork, Miranda hasn’t bargained on its sexy owner returning to claim his birthright. Dark, handsome and with a rakish reputation, Jago St Merryn not only looks like a pirate but is intent on flogging the Mount to a soulless leisure corporation. Miranda faces the battle of her life as she tries to persuade him to face up to his past and continue the St Merryn dynasty. But Jago has his own reasons for jumping ship and when he throws down the gauntlet to Miranda, she’s forced to delve into painful memories she’d much rather keep hidden…

Here’s a picture of Michael Fassbender as Azazeal in Hex which is how I picture Jago.

Now, to those of you who know me and that I’ve been a bit under the weather and have been so lovely to ask how I am, it turns out I’ve got a pretty common problem that can be helped and fixed by meds.

AND The day ended very happily when I went to pick up the proof pages of Miranda’s Mount from the sorting office.

Bloody typical, the postie always calls when you’re out enjoying yourself, doesn’t he?

   Good to hear you are okay. Read the blurb and it sounds like my kind of book. I grew up in Cornwall and I love the county. I’m mightily impressed with the way that you’ve used what I know only as a Cornish surname as a first name – very strong connotations behind that. Looking forward to reading it as have enjoyed all the others of yours that I’ve read!!

   Amy – thank you for visiting. I loved my tea and cakes on the Lucky Duck – hope to see you again soon.

   Rach – you’ve been fab to me, dahling. Mwah. You know why.

   Wendy – I thought Jago was only a surname too but have since heard of several youngish guys with it as first name. and thanks for the good wishes.

   Felicia – hugs for your good wishes on everything. Am feeling better today:)
