We are delighted to host the launch of Jodi McAlister's new romance, A Study in Sparkling.

A Study in Sparkling, the second book in the Love Notes series, follows Fiona Fisher who thought she had it all. But when her husband reveals that he's leaving her for his secret second family, Fiona is left devastated and humiliated. Satoshi Tsukamoto wants it all. He’s the owner of a popular wine bar, and he’s studying for the hardest test in the world: the Master Sommelier exam. There aren’t enough hours in the day for anything else – except maybe Fiona, his favourite customer, and the woman he’s head-over-heels in love with.

On paper, Fiona and Satoshi make no sense. He’s eight years younger than her and has no time for romance. She’s a single mother and doesn't know if she'll ever be able to trust anyone again. But how can Fiona resist when Satoshi suggests they give into their mutual attraction to let off some steam? And how can Satoshi resist when the woman he adores is finally within his grasp – even if they’ve agreed to keep things casual?

Free, but bookings are essential.
