Rupert and Taggie’s Rivals New Year Dance: When Recognition Becomes Dangerous
The New Year Dance: When Recognition Becomes Dangerous
After the rupture of the dinner — after entitlement is exposed and dignity reclaimed — Rivals offers something deceptively glittering: the New Year party.
Champagne. Music. Dresses chosen to impress.
A room filled with people performing versions of themselves they believe will be admired.
And yet, Taggie O’Hara is not part of the performance.

The Fox and the Field: Taggie O’Hara’s Quiet Rebellion
In the rolling fields of Bluebell Wood, Taggie O’Hara walks with her loyal dog, wrapped in the calm of an early morning. There’s a softness to the air — birdsong, the rustle of trees, and the faint hum of life untouched by human noise. It’s her sanctuary, a space where words aren’t needed, where even her dyslexia feels irrelevant.

The Thirty Leaves: The Quietest Love Story in Jilly Cooper Rivals
Some love stories whisper. Some hide in drawers. Some take the shape of dried leaves waiting to be found.
There are scenes in literature that don’t announce themselves with fireworks, confrontation, or passion.
Instead, they arrive softly — with the weight of a sigh, the pace of a heartbeat, the fragility of something that could crumble at a touch.
For me, the moment that lives at the center of Rupert and Taggie’s story is one that many readers miss until it ambushes them with tenderness.
