\u201cRattled my cage? Darling, you\u2019ve sprung the locks across the whole damn zoo. I thought we\u2019ve already established that.\u201d Susie grinned. \u201cNow tell me about the other people who are coming. Did you say one of them is a doctor?\u201d Fenella sighed. Olivia had texted her to let her know that Bel and Bryony would love to come, had told her they were vegan, and sent them Fenella\u2019s address. So now there was no getting out of a new encounter with the Wicked Witch of the West.<\/p>\n

Susie didn\u2019t need to know anything about their past history, of course. \u201cYes, I believe they both have doctorates actually, but Bryony is a medical doctor, a surgeon. Bel Bridgford is an eminent anthropologist who knows more about the effects of climate change on marginal people than anyone else and has written many books on the subject.<\/p>\n

I believe Bryony works in an Oxford hospital as a surgical registrar.\u201d \u201cAnd their age-gap?\u201d \u201cOoh, I couldn\u2019t say. But Bel came up to Somerville College four years before me. Then she transferred to Cambridge to complete her doctorate.\u201d Susie\u2019s eyes twinkled. \u201cAnd their age-gap?\u201d \u201cMaybe twenty, twenty-five years. I\u2019m not sure.\u201d Susie pumped her fist. \u201cYes!\u201d Then she wriggled her behind, and Fenella was sorely tempted to wallop it. Susie skipped sideways and grinned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want your friends thinking I\u2019m here to ruin your life. Or poison you all. So I\u2019d better concentrate on cooking. Do you have a heavy-bottomed pan I can use?\u201d Fenella pulled out one of her favourite Le Creuset wide pans, which could go either on the stove top or into the oven, and Susie seemed happy.<\/p>\n

The jambalaya started to bubble gently as the flavours melted together, and spicy aromas filled the kitchen. As sweetcorn was in season, Fenella had thought eight plump yellow cobs would make another good side, along with a tomato salsa and some deep-fried onion rings. It wouldn\u2019t be your typical British Sunday lunch, but a transatlantic meeting of recipes. A smaller dish of black bean and squash enchiladas with vegan cheese was bubbling away in the bottom oven. Freddy bounced downstairs at eleven. \u201cAre we going out for another bike-riding lesson or what?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I go?\u201d Susie looked at Fenella and started to untie her chef\u2019s apron. \u201cFor half an hour?\u201d \u201cOf course. I\u2019m not in charge of you.\u201d Fenella watched the two youngsters go off together, happily bickering about nothing, and her heart ached as she watched them. With only six years between them, they could have been brother and sister.<\/p>\n

This book is dedicated to the memory of my first Latin teacher, Elizabeth Miles, who introduced me to the joys of grammar and the works of poets like Virgil and always made the subject fun and fascinating. OceanofPDF.com CONTENTS Synopsis Dear readers, Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16 Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapter 22 Chapter 23 Chapter 24 Chapter 25 Chapter 26 Chapter 27 Chapter 28 Chapter 29 Chapter 30 Chapter 31 Chapter 32 Chapter 33 Chapter 34 Chapter 35 Chapter 36 Afterword About the Author Acknowledgments Other books by Maggie McIntyre Global Wordsmiths, CIC Legalese OceanofPDF.com Latin Lessons by Maggie McIntyre Even the coldest hearts can thaw in the right hands.<\/p>\n

Fenella Carlton has built an empire out of ambition, but her personal life is chaos\u2014three disastrous relationships, two teenage sons, and no time for complications. The last thing she needs in her world is twenty-year-old Susie Webster, a brilliant American classics student. Susie is fearless, determined, and far too tempting. She also seems to see straight through Fenella\u2019s defences, and when friendship begins to blur into something more, Fenella is torn between the life she\u2019s always known and the pull of a controversial love she can\u2019t ignore.<\/p>\n

Is Fenella brave enough to risk her heart again? Or will she let the chance of something extraordinary slip away? OceanofPDF.com DEAR READERS, A word of explanation… Latin Lessons is a special book for me. It\u2019s the sixth and final novel in my series, Isabel and Friends which I started back in 2020, with Isabel\u2019s Healing. It was a year when none of us knew what would happen to the world, as COVID kept us locked down at home, but gave us more time to write and read. Since then, through four further novels in the same series, I have tried to combine tender love stories between two women, with plots that reflects tough realities of contemporary life.<\/p>\n

A Girl on the Plane includes an account of sex-trafficking. Into the Rough focusses on the work of Isabel\u2019s fictional aid agency, \u201cRighteous Anger.\u201d Love under Lockdown spotlights the heroic work of NHS staff coupled with a visit to three couples\u2019 lives from the previous books.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
