Clementine needs to find Lucy before it's all too late.

Clementine knows bringing up a child on your own, down on Emerald Street where the street walkers ply their trade, isn't easy, even when your daughter's as adorable as four-year-old Allegra.

When Peter Broadbent, wealthy, kind and possessed of the most beautiful house Clementine has ever seen, proposes, she knows it seems almost too good to be true.

Will this be the happy-ever-after Clementine deserves, or will her dreams come crumbling down around her?

Julie Houston lives in Yorkshire, writes bestselling romantic comedies, and teaches part-time. A magistrate for 25 years, she loves books, wine, and sun - but hates skiing.

Praise for 'Looking for Lucy':

'A real page-turner. You'll laugh and cry, but not be able to put it down as Julie's trademark humour shines through from beginning to end' -Cassam Book Blog.

'This is one of those novels that makes you want to read "just one more chapter" before you turn out the light, and that chapter turns into several more' -Big Bertha, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer.

'I became so engrossed in this story I couldn't stop – kept going for just another chapter, and another, until I'd read straight through to the end. I loved it – the magic five for me, a wonderful read and one to keep for rereading' -Jeannie Zelos Book Reviews.
