Hi Lovelies,

Happy (belated) New Year :)

Sorry that you haven't heard from me for a while but it's been crazy busy at the day job and I've been working non-stop for months - I work for a jewellery designer and people buy a LOT of jewellery in the lead up to Christmas!

Unfortunately, that meant I've had no time to write or do anything writing related, but I can't wait to start tapping away at the keyboard again soon, and I'm hoping to have some very exciting news later in the year.

In the meantime, let's start 2026 with something new - a featured author every month!

More about that later - first, I wanted to let you know that I noticed Amazon has made a mistake on the price of one of my books, so until I can sort it out, you can get Sweet Delights in Cosy Cove for only 99p.

(Please check price before you buy as I'm not sure how long it will be discounted)

When food stylist Gemma Thompson returns to her childhood home to help run the Cosy Cove Cafe with her mother, Maggie, the last thing she expects is to fall into a fake relationship with her childhood friend, Logan Harris. It’s meant to stop her mum's matchmaking attempts, but what starts as pretend soon begins to feel surprisingly real.

Enter Matthew Wright, a charismatic chef who recognises Gemma’s talent and offers her everything she thought she wanted: culinary adventure, creative freedom, and a chance to leave Cosy Cove behind again. As Gemma finds herself torn between Matthew’s exciting world and Logan’s steady heart, she must decide what really matters; career success or the true recipe for happiness.

Can Logan find the courage to confess his lifelong feelings before it’s too late? Will Gemma choose ambition over love, or discover that some dreams taste sweeter when shared?

In this heartwarming tale of fake dates turning into real feelings, return to Cosy Cove where love is always on the menu and second chances are served with a side of hope.

The Great Cornish Road Trip 

She wanted gondolas and gelato — she got Cornwall, chaos, and a camper van full of sparks!

Food photographer Emily Roberts is officially having the worst week of her life. Not only has her boyfriend cheated on her, he's also stolen her dream assignment in romantic, sun-drenched Venice. Instead of gondolas and gelato, Emily is shipped off to the wild Cornish coast for a chaotic culinary road trip with legendary kitchen tyrant Lucinda Carlton-Rose, and things go from mildly annoying to catastrophic on day one.

Cue Harry Ashby — a charming, annoyingly handsome surfing instructor with a vintage orange camper van and a heroic streak he absolutely denies having. He’s no traditional knight in shining armour… but he is very good at rescuing stranded photographers.

As Emily and Harry zig-zag from fishing villages to cliff-top cafés, sampling Cornwall’s finest food and worst weather, sparks begin to fly — between deadlines, disasters, and more pasties than anyone should eat in one summer.

Can a sun-soaked surfer help a heartbroken photographer rewrite her fairy tale? Or is this culinary road trip destined to stall before it gets started?

Join Emily and Harry on a sun-kissed, laugh-out-loud adventure around the coast of Cornwall.
