February's News!

Welcome to this month's update!
|
|
|
Well, January got off to a spectacular start for me! Some of it I can't talk about yet (and I'm still crossing my fingers hoping it all goes to plan) and some of it I can.
|
What I can say is that I delivered my edits for my next Annabel French title and here's some sneaky behind the scenes news,it's called...The Floating Amsterdam Flower Shop! Isn't that the most gorgeous title? And check out the cover reveal below 👇 it's absolutely stunning! 😍
|
I've been working hard on my next Emma Royal book too, and that's due to be released in August. That's now at the page proof stage so it's almost time for me to say goodbye to the Palace Girls!
|
Other than that, I'm just enjoying a slightly crazy, but wonderful start to 2025! Long may it continue!
|
I hope you've all got through the longest month of the year unscatched and as Valentine's Day approaches, I'm sharing some of my most favourite romance reads because it is the month of love and romance! I'd love to know yours too, so make sure you follow me on Instagram and tag me in your posts!

Happy reading and lots of love,

One fresh start. One unexpected encounter. Can love bridge the gap?

When Rosie Harper leaves behind her ordinary life in England to open a flower shop on Amsterdam’s water, she expects nothing less than a fairytale.
|
But the city’s canals have their own currents, bringing far more than she bargained for. Max, her handsome but brooding artist neighbour, prefers to keep the world at arm’s length – and living on a nearby houseboat, he’s not too thrilled about the new company.
|
As Rosie’s business blossoms, so do her feelings for Max, who’s stuck in his past. When an unexpected threat arises that could sink her dreams, Rosie quickly discovers that the most beautiful things can bloom when you learn to go with the flow – sometimes you might just need a helping hand along the way…

|
A fun, feel-good romance that will whisk you away to Amsterdam's picturesque canals. Perfect for fans of Julie Caplin, Rebecca Raisin and Cressida McLaughlin.

The Little Library on Cherry Lane
|
|
Elsie Martin may lead a quiet life, but working in her beloved local library is enough to make her happy. After all, books have always been her armour against the world.
|
So when the library is threatened with closure to make way for a new housing development, Elsie knows it has to be saved – and that, despite being painfully shy, she needs to lead the campaign to save it.
|
Jacob Yardley thinks he’s doing the right thing by building a new affordable housing development. Why shouldn’t local people be able to buy a house in the place they grew up? Having to leave his own small hometown broke his heart. Plus, people don’t really use libraries anymore, do they?
|
|
As Elsie and Jacob clash over the future of the library, sparks begin to fly. Jacob is falling back in love with books and libraries – could he possibly be falling for her too? And will Elsie be able to save the library that means so much to her?

Hetty Colman loves her life in the cosy seaside town of Swallowtail Bay, organising children’s birthdays, anniversaries and retirement parties. But after her recent break up from long-term boyfriend Ben, she’s been searching for something new.
|
So, when Hetty overhears locals wondering how to return the old strawberry festival to its former glory, she jumps at the chance to relaunch it. There are just two problems – she only has four weeks to organise it and absolutely nowhere to host it!
|
|
When Hetty manages to convince the aloof, yet extremely handsome, John Thornhill to use the grounds of his rundown manor, things start to look up. But as Hetty and John grow closer and Ben tries to win back her affections, can Hetty make the festival and her love life run smoothly at the same time?
