My newest book
The Happy Hour
My next book is a standalone romance called The Happy Hour. It’s coming out on the 9th of May, and here is a little bit more about it:
Can they fall in love, sixty minutes at a time?
Jess is happy working in Greenwich market selling trinkets to well-heeled locals and excitable tourists.
Then one Sunday, Jess is thrown together with handsome, funny Ash, as they chase a pickpocket through the market, and before long they are making a habit of running into each other at the same time each week.
Jess starts to realize that their hour together is the brightest part of her life. But Ash isn’t telling her everything – can she discover the truth before it’s too late?
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 Happy Hour is my fifteenth 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!
