Happy New Year!

Hello everyone,

Firstly, happy New Year to you all! I hope you all had wonderful Christmases and I'm wishing you all health and happiness in 2024!

I've got some exciting things lined up for this year, some of which I can't talk about yet, but one of which I can. This year will see the release of A Wedding at the Chateau and I've just sent the first draft off to my editor. I so enjoyed writing this story and it's definitely on the funnier side compared to some of my previous releases. It's also set in Tuscany, around Florence, which is where I had my honeymoon (many moons ago!) so it was lovely to revisit that gorgeous city.

Right now I'm working on my next Emma Royal book and that's always a little more serious, but I love writing historicals and just hope this first draft comes as easily as A Wedding at the Chateau did!

I'd love for you to join me on Facebook if you haven't already and let me know what books you're looking forward to reading in 2024! Just click the link:

Happy reading and lots of love,

If you're still hanging on to that Christmas spirit...


Life has gone a little bit downhill for Naomi Winters…

Ever since her ex-husband Ollie filed for a divorce last Christmas, Naomi is a self-confessed scrooge. She hates her job, has exactly zero hobbies, and on top of that she’s all alone this holiday season.

Spurred on by her best-friend Mia – who has invited her to spend Christmas at her snow-kissed Chateau in the Swiss Alps – she decides it’s time for change.

But, when she arrives, she’s shocked to see Mia’s big brother Gabriel. It’s been fifteen years since they last saw eachother, forcing her to face memories she’d rather forget.

As Naomi grapples with getting her life back on track, she throws herself into various festive activities, and she can’t seem to escape Gabriel this time…

Will he manage to thaw her icy heart, or is she on a downward slope to disappointment?

My First Recommended Reads of 2024!


Summer at the Santorini Bookshop by Rebecca Raisin


A Greek island holiday. A fake-dating pact. A chance at true love?
After losing her job as a book scout, hopeless romantic Evie needs a fresh start. So when she hears that her eccentric grandmother has just taken on a small bookshop in Santorini, Evie jumps at the chance to visit her.
But life on the island is not as idyllic as it first seems. Gran has a tempestuous relationship with her landlord and he’s threatening to take the bookshop away from her. So when Gran asks Evie to fake a romance with her landlord’s Greek God of a grandson, Georgios, to keep the family on side, she reluctantly agrees.
As the sun sets on Evie’s Greek holiday, can she save the bookshop – and fake date her way to love?




The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett

One dead Santa. A town full of suspects. Will you discover the truth?

Christmas in Lower Lockwood, and the Fairway Players are busy rehearsing their festive pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, to raise money for the church roof appeal. But despite the season, goodwill is distinctly lacking amongst the amateur dramatics enthusiasts. Sarah-Jane is fending off threats to her new position as Chair, the fibreglass beanstalk might be full of asbestos, and a someone is intent on ruining the panto even before the curtain goes up.

Of course there's also the matter of the dead body. Who could possibly have had the victim on their naughty list? Join lawyers Femi and Charlotte as they read the round robins, examine the emails and pore over the police transcripts. Will the show go on?
