Always the Bridesmaid (May 2015) by Lindsey Kelk
Everyone loves a bridesmaid – except Maddie, who’s perpetually asked to be one.
Everyone loves a wedding – except Maddie’s best friend, who’s getting divorced.
And everyone loves the way Maddie’s so happy behind the scenes – except Maddie herself.
One best friend is in a wedding countdown while the other heads for a marriage meltdown. And as Maddie juggles her best chance at promotion in years with bridezilla texts and late-night counselling sessions, she starts to wonder – is it time to stop being the bridesmaid?

We Were On a Break (Oct 2016) by Lindsey Kelk
Is it a break? Or is it a blip?

‘I don’t mean that kind of break.’
There’s nothing worse than the last day of a holiday. Oh wait, there is. When what should have been a proposal turns into a break, Liv and Adam find themselves on opposite sides of the life they had mapped out.

One in A Million (Jul 2018) by Lindsey Kelk
Published 5th July 2018
Annie Higgins has one goal this year: to get her tiny business off the ground. But – infuriated by the advertising agency across the hall making fun of her job – Annie is goaded into accepting their crazy challenge: to make a random stranger Instagram-famous in just thirty days.
Annie has a competitive streak a mile wide, always pushing for the next thing and aiming high. Something that has led to her starting her own Digital Marketing business with her best friend. It’s going well, or it would be if clients paid their invoices on time!
Her personal life is filled with friendships and more work, with her love life in the gutter. Especially when she sees her ex proposing to his new girlfriend before the England football match on TV. But she’s fine, totally fine about it, honestly! A bit of work banter with Charlie (they work in the same building) goes a little too far after he mocks her business. So they come up with a bet to get the next person who walks through the door 20k followers on Instagram in a month.
Dr Samuel Page doesn’t know what has hit him when his usual, quiet life is interrupted by Annie. Offering to help him win back his ex-girlfriend with help and advice, whilst she makes his social media famous. Sam doesn’t do social media, and they have different opinions about many things – yet somehow they manage to spend an awful lot of time together.
A slowish start, with Annie coming across as a bull in a china shop, but once you see her with her family and friends she grew on me. A classic tale of not seeing what is in front of your face until it is possibly too late.

In Case You Missed It (Jul 2020) by Lindsey Kelk
Published 23rd July 2020
When Ros comes home after three years away, she’s ready to pick up life exactly where she left it. But her friends have moved on, her parents have rekindled their romance, and her bedroom is now a garden shed. All of a sudden, she’s swept up in nostalgia for the way things were.
Ros has just returned to the UK after a three-year stint at an American radio show as a producer. She’s keeping quiet as to why she is back suddenly and is in for a shock when her parents have built a garden shed for her to move into rather than staying in her childhood home. Whilst she might be jobless and living in a shed she has her wonderful friends to catch up with.
With a new phone, her friend Sumi suggests sending a group text to all of Ros’s contacts to say hi and that this is her new number. Her previous contacts backed up on the cloud, it sounds like the easy option to let everyone know that she’s home. Whilst this leads to a last-minute job offer, it also prompts her ex-boyfriend Patrick to get in touch with who she split before heading to America. Her friends aren’t keen on him, but she is longing for a slice of her old, uncomplicated life and suddenly she is meeting up with him and potentially picking up where they left off.
Whilst things have changed with her friends over the years, not least the bar they opt to meet up in. This leads to a new friendship with John the owner who Ros finds easy to talk to. Opening up to him more than her friends, could it be that it’s time to move on from the past and look towards the future?

The Christmas Wish (Nov 2022) by Lindsey Kelk
Published 10th November 2022
What if it really was Christmas every day?
Gwen has had quite the year. Newly single and in trouble at work, a family Christmas could be exactly what she needs – fresh country air, piles of presents and festive films. But since when were families relaxing? Between her parents interfering in her love life, fighting with her sister and an awkward run-in with Dev, the boy next door, Gwen is grateful that Christmas only comes but once a year.
It’s been a challenging year for Gwen Baker and the thought of heading home for a family Christmas is both a welcome and unwelcome idea. Her cousin Manny arrives in his trusty old Volvo to make the trip up north. He attempts to convince her that time with the family and Christmas is exactly what she needs before facing reality in the New Year.
Arriving home she enjoys a relatively peaceful Christmas Eve before being woken by her dad on Christmas morning. News that Father Christmas has been and that bacon putties will be ready in five minutes get her out of bed, What follows is a fantastic family Christmas, with an inappropriate gift from her dad, her Nan commenting on her outfits, her sister being, well her sister and the chaos that comes with Christmas.
Alongside this comes the unwelcome side of things, Manny getting upset about something Oliver said etc. Kickstarting a host of Christmas repeats that Gwen has to relive until each person has had their moment to unload troubles, ask for help, overcome grief, embrace life and even find love. Throughout it, all Gwen is on a personal journey to discover things about herself and her family.
But as she helps everyone with what they need this Christmas, will she be brave enough to go after what it is she wants in life?
