My latest book
A Cornish Love Story
My next book is a standalone set on the glorious Cornish coast. It’s a second-chance, forced-proximity romance and I love it a whole lot. It’s out on the 19th June 2025 but you can already preorder it. Here is a little bit more about it:
The most romantic house in Cornwall has got a new owner…
Journalist Georgie Monroe has watched as it has been transformed into a high-tech glass palace, renovated by a mystery buyer.
When she’s invited to report on an event there, she comes face to face not only with her first love, architect Ethan Sparks, but also with their complicated past. Finding themselves trapped inside when the house malfunctions, Georgie realises that they — and the house — are still keeping secrets.
But have Georgie and Ethan left it too late to start again, or can they write the next chapter of their love story together?
About Me
I am a bestselling author of contemporary romance, and have sold over a million copies of my books. My fiction is feel-good and escapist, featuring unforgettable characters who find their happy place, and I’m most well known for my eight book Cornish Cream Tea series. The Secret Christmas Bookshop, the start of my new, Norfolk-set series, is my sixteenth novel.
I live in Norwich with my husband David, and when I’m not daydreaming about my books, other people’s books or romantic heroes in general, I love exploring the windswept Norfolk coastline or returning to my home city of London. I’m a huge fan of ghost stories, coffee and Henry Cavill.
I’d love to hear from you about anything book-related or otherwise, so if you feel like it, please get in touch!
