A Heart-Warming Contemporary Romance About Love, Healing and New Beginnings
When life falls apart, sometimes you have to climb higher.
After being made redundant from her job as a solicitor, Bell (yes, that's the correct spelling) turns back to her first love-painting. While wandering through the woods, she discovers a ladder leaning against a tree. Curious, she climbs it and paints the breathtaking view she finds at the top. That one painting will change her life forever.
Luke is still recovering from a messy divorce when he climbs the same ladder, only to find Bell sitting in his secret place-a makeshift bench high in the branches. The spark between them is immediate, powerful, and impossible to ignore. But Luke isn't being entirely honest... and both of them are hiding parts of their past.
Through a shared love of art, community, and good food, Bell and Luke begin to open up-to each other and to the lives they truly want. What follows is a journey filled with fall-outs and make-ups, shared secrets, creative dreams, and the courage to be honest, even when it's uncomfortable.
From woodland hideaways to art exhibitions, trips abroad, and even a wedding (or two), Ladder to the Stars is a feel-good romantic comedy about second chances, self-discovery, and finding love when you least expect it.
Perfect for fans of contemporary romance, rom-coms with heart, uplifting fiction, and stories about creativity, healing, and new beginnings, this warm and charming novel will leave you smiling long after the final page.
If you love romantic comedies with depth, relatable characters, and a touch of magic, Ladder to the Stars is your next feel-good read.
