A Lion is Not Just For Christmas by Henriette Gyland
Release Date: 10th December 2017
Pages: 134
Is there life after
the circus has left town?
Circus performer Justine Belmont works with big cats, but
when the circus is disbanded and the old lion is sold to a private menagerie at
a stately home in Norfolk, she is asked to spend a few weeks settling him into
his new environment. When she arrives at the estate, however, she receives a
mixed welcome.
The groundsman Tom Yates resents her presence as he doesn’t
feel he needs her help with the lion. He revises his opinion when he sees the
bond between her and the big cat, and she and Tom grow closer, although Justine
remains torn about her feelings for him.
The lady of the house, Priscilla - who is married to the reclusive
owner, Lord Brooks’s, grandson - is not so easily convinced. She perceives
Justine as a threat for the male attention and her plans for the manor. And her
two young daughters are a little too curious about the lion for their own good.
When unsettling events occur, Justine begins to wonder if
there is more to Priscilla’s animosity than meets the eye. Can Justine keep
herself and everyone else safe until it’s time for her to leave again and start
a new life elsewhere?
