My latest book
The Secret Christmas Bookshop
My next book is the first in a new series set in my home county of Norfolk, and it’s out on the 24th of October. Here is a little bit more about it:
In a village by the sea, where wintry skies bring a dusting of sparkling snow, somebody is opening an unexpected gift…
When Sophie receives a surprise package, she’s intrigued to find a beautifully bound book inside.
Sophie is desperate to discover the mystery sender, and her hunt draws her to the enigmatic Harry. The subject of much gossip since his return from London, Harry keeps to himself in his crumbling manor house.
But they are both about to learn that the best stories can take on a life of their own.
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 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!
