The Pink Coffee Shop
It’s only a list. So why does Rosie Nash's whole world fall apart when it suddenly disappears?
Rosie loves her job as a daytime television show runner. Every second counts in the land of live TV and that’s just looking after her colleagues… and their endless demands. Rosie doesn’t mind, she loves life on the go and being away from the spotlight suits her fine. Besides, can you imagine if anyone discovered who she really was? Exactly, neither can she.
It’s all okay because she has her very own haven, The Pink Coffee Shop, which she visits after every show. It’s run by her lifelong friends, Wanda and Millie. And it gives her just the sanctuary she needs. Plus, she has her list which she carries with her wherever she goes because… well, that’s for Rosie to know.
But life begins to unravel when Rosie loses her list and she finds herself forced into the limelight. Then, when she finds a strange man sitting in her seat at The Pink Coffee Shop, her well-ordered life is never the same again.
The Juggle
Is a marriage ever big enough for two dreams to come true? Molly and Dan are about to find out.
It was only a blip. Just a little mistake. But in the world of television, Dan Whitehead’s little slip could cost him his career. His only chance is to swap roles with his wife, Molly, who works part-time behind the scenes at the show. It’s just for a few weeks. Easy. What’s so hard about looking after their twins and taking a step away from the limelight for a bit? Only, it’s not quite as simple as Dan may think. With more time, his past begins to haunt him. Then, when a friendly school-mum makes him an offer he can’t refuse, is she everything she seems? Meanwhile, Molly is more than happy in her hoodie and yoga leggings - not that she ever does yoga. She’s more of a stay at home and listen to self-help kind of girl. Why would she want to go back on-screen when she doesn’t even like leaving the house? But she needs to save her husband’s job, after all, it is all her fault. Then, when she’s offered an exclusive interview on the other side of the world, her life in Cherry Blossom Park is under threat. Why is she the only person to ever be offered this interview? Dan must never know the truth. The Juggle is more than just a story about parents keeping everything in the air. It’s about secrets from the past and hopes for the future.
