Deceptive Hearts - Carol Margaret Leyland

Having seen her friends Charlie and Alice so settled and happy, Grace sets out to find the woman of her dreams and hopefully not nightmares. So she dips her toe into online dating, but finds that doing so in your 50s is a minefield. Modern day dating involves swiping left or right rather than meeting at the pub, so she's forced into guessing a womans character through a few words and hoping that they aren't a psycho, a ghoster or ending up in a situationship.

Amongst her friends there are wedding ideas and future plans are being made. Alice is now a published author and her job as an archaeologist is flourishing. However Charlie is bored and looking for new challenges, with ambitions of a change in lifestyle, but can she escape her hedonistic past and properly settle down with the woman that she loves? This novel is a sequel to Charlotte and Me and brings the group of friends together for more twists and turns and a spot of historical intrigue.
