The plot is fast paced and the characters wonderfully depicted .I really enjoyed this read and I’m looking forward to the next in the series.
A Visit at Christmas
A delightful short story taken from the book Fur Coat & No Knickers. A wonderful collection of uplifting short stories and poetry to be read and re-read.
‘A beautifully written tale of lost love and second chances, laced through with a touch of Irish magic. This is romantasy as its best, and I loved it!’

About Adrienne Vaughan
Adrienne Vaughan has been a writer since the age of seven, from the moment she first sat at the kitchen table, thumping out stories about ponies, witches, and unicorns on her turquoise Petite typewriter.
Today she writes award-winning, page-turning romantic suspense.
Adrienne’s first three books, The Hollow Heart, A Change of Heart and Secrets of the Heart – feature a feisty investigative journalist, a wilful West Highland terrier and a supporting cast of highly entertaining and eccentric characters; all set on a remote isle off the West Coast of Ireland.
Her latest novels, Summer of Secrets and Secrets of the Shell Sisters − are both spell-binding family sagas with a touch of Celtic magic and are based on Ireland’s Ancient East Coast.
Her collection of short stories and poetry, Fur Coat & No Knickers, was shortlisted for the Irish Carousel Prize for Anthology. Her short story Dodo’s Portrait was shortlisted for the Colm Toíbín International Short Story Award at the Wexford Literary Festival in 2018, and her short story Matilda’s Wings was runner up in the Society of Women Writers & Journalists Short Story Competition 2023.
All her books are enchanting, heart-warming, and uplifting tales of mystery and romance, laced with twists and turns, and many laugh out loud moments.
Brought up in Dublin, Adrienne now lives in the English countryside with her husband, two cocker spaniels and a rescue cat called Agatha Christie – ‘So-named because we never know who she’s going to kill next!’
Two of her favourite places in the world are the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland and the coast of South Devon, both great influences on her writing.
A former journalist, Adrienne runs her own PR practice, whilst writing novels, poems and short stories in her spare time.
And although being a novelist has always been her destiny, she still harbours a burning ambition to one day be a Bond girl!
