“Serena didn’t want to wait to see what would happen next. Her heart was pounding out of her chest and she couldn’t breathe as she ran without any direction.”
Serena Blackwood and her family live a happy life. The most privileged family in their small village; they have no troubles in the world. However, the whole family are shocked to the core when they find a set of human bones in their seemingly peaceful family home whilst preparing for the annual village fete. How did the bones get there? How long have they been there? And who is the victim? All these questions and more must be answered to solve the mystery, and with the help of the Scotland Yard detectives Inspector Williamson and Sergeant Jones, a solution may be found. But some mysteries can only be solved and the truth uncovered if you delve deep into the past secrets, as the past never dies…
Never Fall For The Bad Boy
June 2021
Beatrice is the stereotypical good girl. Straight As, spotless school record, on all school committees, helps out at most of the clubs, friends with everyone, and never lets a boy distract her…
That is, until bad boy Luke makes a bet with his best friend to date her and hurls himself into her life, chucking her perfectly organised schedule upside down and revealing the wild side that even Bea didn’t know existed.
Luke is as surprised as anyone to discover the “new Bea” and wonders whether he can resist falling for the girl he had never thought worth the time and effort. Is it possible that exactly what he was looking for was under his nose the whole time? And what will happen when she finds out about the bet?
The Call of The Seas
September 2019
Emilie Somerson faces a decision - her sophisticated fiancée or a handsome and adventurous stranger - will she choose a life of luxury or of love? A trip to London to visit her estranged father suddenly threatens everything that Emilie Somerson ever knew about herself.
Having always longed for an adventure like the stories she reads, Emilie is naturally shocked when she arrives in London to find herself engaged to man she does not know by the father she has never met.
But it appears that destiny has another plan for her in the shape of Captain George Ackworth. In complete contrast to her solid fiancée, George is an adventurous, passionate and exciting man... who it is no surprise that Emilie falls for.
Emilie's defiant nature demands that she follows her heart, which has been captured by George. But will George defy his insecurities and self-doubt enough to trust the emotion of love that he has never experienced?
The Call of the Sea pulls Emilie and George together, but does it have the strength to bind the two passionate souls?
