Intrigue, spice and all the romance
MORE THAN NOTHING, the first book in the Pine Springs series, is out November 2025
EVERY REASON WHY coming February 2026
Countdown to Release Day!
A PR journalist for over 20 years, I write from the Georgian house in West Sussex which I have been renovating with my husband. I am unnaturally obsessed with dinosaurs and quite fond of my children too. I love bonfires, coffee-flavoured ice cream, eye liner on guys, Despicable Me 2, comfy loungewear, antique fairs, sexy forearms, Earl Grey tea and topnotch sarcastic rejoinders. I read ridiculously fast (it's a big problem) and I'm addicted to video clips of ice hockey punch ups. I wish I could hula hoop. I've tried. I can't.
More Than Nothing is my first novel and it's due out in November 2025. My second, Every Reason Why, will be out early 2026.
The title of my third changes daily.
It features as the setting in my upcoming series.
With Elenie’s family the most hated in Pine Springs, keeping a low profile has become a way of life for her.
But then the new police chief, Roman Martinez, shows up at the diner where she’s a waitress, all muscle and badge and dangerous perception. And going under the radar just got that much harder.
He’s determined to take down a drug ring. The prime suspects? Elenie’s criminal stepfather and brothers. Keeping her distance would be the sensible choice, but what if she could help Roman put her family behind bars – and finally prove that she’s nothing like them?
Turning informant will be a dangerous game for them both. But it might be Elenie’s only chance to get the life – and the man – she’s always dreamed of…
Sometimes, you have to risk it all when the potential reward means everything.
OZARK meets Lucy Score's Things We Never Got Over. Perfect for fans of emotional, character-driven love stories.

Romantic Suspense that gets under your skin
A police officer and the stepdaughter of a criminal:
a combination that couldn't be more explosive...
Leah Raven has built a life within the walls of Amity Court, the sprawling Victorian villa where she’s lived and worked for the past two years. But when its owner, Esther Hale, passes away, Leah’s security vanishes overnight. Now, the house belongs to Jackson Hale—Esther’s distant and brooding grandson—who’s determined to sell it as quickly as possible.
Jackson didn’t expect to find a stubborn tenant standing in the way of his plans to cash in his inheritance. But his grandmother’s final wishes tie him to the old house—and to Leah—for longer than he’d like. With tensions rising and secrets from the past surfacing, their reluctant cohabitation becomes something else entirely.
As the walls of Amity Court whisper of old betrayals and undeniable attraction sparks between them, Leah and Jackson must decide: will they keep fighting for what they thought they wanted—or surrender to the possibility of something more?
A heart-tugging slow-burn romance filled with longing and insecurities, Every Reason Why is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and small-town secrets.

More Than Nothing - teaser
Elenie
'Elenie tipped her chin to search his face. She looked genuinely taken aback. He was close enough to see the flecks, like speckles on a bird’s egg, in the gray of her irises, and wondered what it would take for her to look at him with less suspicion.'
Pine Springs
Why did I create a fictional small town setting in the US when I live in the UK? Simple. I had this mental image of some key scenes in More Than Nothing taking place in a diner - and transferring these to an English café just didn't work for me! And so Pine Springs was born.
Roman
'His face wasn’t perfect. It was a little too drawn, hollowed around the cheekbones, and the fine line of a well-healed scar ran just below the curve of his jaw, yanking him by the collar out of ‘Aftershave Ad’ territory and into ‘I’ve Seen Some Things In My Time.’'
Every Reason Why - teaser
Leah
'Leah drew back slowly until she was sitting on her heels. He nearly reached out to stop her, had to force himself to keep his hands where they were, fisted in the bedcovers. Her light and energy drew him with a gravitational force. He craved more of it all the time when he’d grown used to wanting less of everyone else.'
Amity Court
My husband and I stayed in a stunning Victorian Villa in Michigan, which became the imaginary blueprint for Esther's house. The updating of Amity Court is based heavily on our own experiences of renovating an old property. (Yes, we also suffer with an extremely temperamental hot water system. Yes, we have to keep the WiFi door open. And, yes, the dessicated mouse fell on my shoulder, just like it did on Leah's.)
Jackson
'There was barely a square inch of him that wasn’t either filthy or sweaty—his hair coated in a thick layer of dust, gray t-shirt more dark patches than light. Even the hairs on his forearms were clogged with grime. He smelled of hard work and stale debris and, damn, if that wasn’t a whole lot more appealing than it sounded.'
Book 3 - teaser
Avery
'This time with Avery was an injection of peace straight to the vein. There was something about the odd parts of her which soothed the wild parts of him. The parts no one else understood.'
The Bach Bash
With over 64,000 inland lakes, Michigan is the perfect place to host a pre-wedding weekend of activities and watersports! I've stayed in some beautiful lakeside cabins and it wasn't hard to imagine the chaos that could take place if any of these were overrun by a mixed group of hyper-competitive adults...
Tanner
'You’d think he was a gladiator, striding into the Colosseum. Heads turned, smiles fluttered, conversations died and resumed in whispers behind hands. There was much metaphorical swooning. In a movie, he’d have crossed the floor in slow motion.'
