The Runaway Year by Shani Struthers
Dumped by her hotshot boyfriend and boss, Layla Lewis quits her job and heads to Trecastle in North Cornwall to house-sit for a friend-of-a-friend. Trecastle isn't new to her; it's a place where she holidayed regularly with her now-estranged mother. It's also the home of Hannah McKenzie, her childhood friend. Hannah has tempted her with a place to live and a job in the local pub. Needing time to nurse her battered heart and escape her real life for a year, Layla accepts. Hannah is a talented artist as well as a barmaid. She lives in the village center with her boyfriend Jim, a singer in a local band. They are happy together, or as happy as they can be, considering. Hannah loves Jim, but there is someone she loves more and it's pushing them to breaking point. Meanwhile, back in Brighton, Layla's fiery yet loyal friend Penny seeks revenge on her behalf, sending a forged email that could damage her ex's business prospects. Penny wonders if she has gone too far but is soon preoccupied with her own problems: the sizzle has fizzled in her marriage, and she feels neglected. After getting frisky with Dylan one night, she confesses all to her husband-and he's been like ice ever since. Over the course of a year, there is laughter and heartache as all three endeavor to reign in their tumultuous love lives-discovering you can run all you like, but if it's love you're up against, true love, good things can only happen when you stand your ground.Shani Struthers was born and raised in Brighton and is the author of 10 supernatural thrillers (so far), some set in England and others in far-flung countries such as Venice and America. She weaves this knowledge throughout her novels, often drawing on real-life experiences from persons she has known and well-known Occult personalities such as Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune, who she grew up with an understanding of the Occult and alternative viewpoints on religion. Her Psychic Surveys series, which is written from the perspective of a group of psychics that specialize in domestic spiritual clearance, has become a worldwide bestseller on Amazon. This Haunted World, her new series, is a collection of stand-alone books set in and around the world's most haunted locations, and weaves fact with fiction once more. In both the UK and the US, they have topped the Amazon genre charts. She is a full-time author and a member of Storyland Press and Writers Reach, two local and national author cooperatives through which all of her novels are published.
