edit data

I write dual-timeline books that weave secrets of the past with the present.

My first book The Forgotten Village was a Kindle Number 1 Bestseller and has sold over 150,000 copies. (In Canada it's called The Forgotten Wife.) It won the Romantic Novelists' Association Katie Fforde Debut Romantic Novel of the Year Award 2020 and the RNA Joan Hessayon New Writers' Award.

My second novel, The Forbidden Promise, is available now in ebook, paperback and audiobook.

The third, The Girl From the Island, is available to pre-order now.
