King Charles takes the replacement bus service (Rousse)

Confused courtship (Rousse)
Yet again, TPR had fallen in love – this time with a young fresher. He could be more subtle in his dalliances. Why would anyone issue a dinner invitation to a prospective lover in the presence of his wife? The … Continue reading

Public engagement presentation practice (Rousse)

Hero of the exhibition hall survives animal attacks but loses a laptop (Rousse)

A housewife’s proud Mills and Boon display (Rousse)
Before she was a housewife, HVJ worked in publishing. She kept a tiny souvenir of her short career in her beautiful house: a proud display of blue-backed Mills and Boon titles, tastefully encased in a table-top cabinet.
