Chasing Dreams On Oak Tree Lane
Meg always dreamed of moving to Lower Oakley and opening her own art shop. She just never envisaged doing it alone. Faced with the blank canvas that is her new life, she’s determined to fill it with colour to match her usually sunny personality.
Josh never dreamed he’d be running his late wife’s gallery alone, his little daughter the only light in a life filled with shadows and hurt. Happiest with a hammer and chisel, Josh is hesitant to carve his own path, while his grumpy demeanour is hardly a magnet for a new relationship.
Strange things can happen on Oak Tree Lane, though, when hesitant hearts feel an instant connection.
Can Meg and Josh paper over the cracks of their past losses and paint a new future together?
Or do they not share the same dream after all?
Making Memories On Oak Tree Lane
Jenna has always known exactly where she belongs, right here in Lower Oakley. By day a preschool teacher in Little Acorns, by night part of a 1940s tribute quartet known as The Oakettes, Jenna has never felt the desire to spread her wings further than the small Northumberland village where she grew up.
Nick has never felt like he belonged – neither in Upper Oakley as a child, nor in the army as an adult. The British Armed Forces provided a temporary base, but since his recent medical discharge Nick has been bouncing from one hostel to the next, unable to put down any roots.
In fact, the only time in his life that Nick ever felt at home was during his brief relationship with Jenna when they were eighteen. High school sweethearts who ultimately wanted different things, the pair have deliberately not seen each other since their painful break-up.
Until now.
Strange things can happen on Oak Tree Lane, though, where second chances can make old love new.
Can the hurts of the past make way for hope in the future and new, happy memories to be made?
Or are these two lonely souls destined to never find a home with each other?
Feeling Festive On Oak Tree Lane
Matt has always considered himself a failure – in life and in love. A college dropout now tasked with running his dad’s pub, he can’t seem to get the old place into profit. Of course, this isn’t helped by the distracting presence of his childhood best friend, Robyn.
Robyn knows she can’t take advantage of Matt’s kindness forever. Giving her a home and the opportunity to sing some live sessions in the Olde Oak Tree Tavern in return for working behind the bar, the pair have settled into a comfortable familiarity.
When Matt urges her to leave to pursue her music career – secretly denying his own heart in the process – Robyn can’t seem to ever move on. Nor, however, can she work out why the thought of taking the leap into her future makes her feel immeasurably sad.
Strange things can happen on Oak Tree Lane, though, when a snow storm forces old friends to become aware of new desires.
Can they push out of their comfort zone into an unfamiliar, new relationship?
Or are these two homebodies destined to never settle down with each other?
Embracing Joy on oak Tree Lane
Edward Cartwright has lived on Oak Tree Lane all his life, running Tree-Mendous Treasures with his thankfully now deceased mother. A man of few words and many hobbies, all of them solitary, he’s a creature of habit who never strays from his routine.
Florist Joy is in the process of opening Cheen Cheer, a tearoom, bookshop and floristry in Upper Oakley, in the shadow of the ancient Cheen Castle. Realising she’s bitten off more than she can chew, she’s on the lookout for a calm business mind to counter her own spontaneous dizziness and help her get some routines in place
A match made in Heaven?
Or two lovely souls destined to rub each other up the wrong way?
And then there’s the will.
Even from the grave Esther Cartwright is still controlling her son’s life, with one final request that will upturn his well-controlled world. Will Ed give in to her demands or be out on his ear when autumn comes?
Strange things happen on Oak Tree Lane, though, when outrageous situations call for desperate measures.
Proving that even though the flame takes a while to catch, it doesn’t burn any less brightly.
