About the author

I write romantic comedies and emotional love stories set in escapist locations and can’t wait to whisk you away to a gorgeous Greek island in the sun in my brand new novel, Bring Me Sunshine, when it’s published on June 6th.

I’ve written 15 bestselling books, including the No.1 Kindle UK bestsellers Cupcakes at Carrington’s and The Secret of Orchard Cottage, and the international No.1 paperback bestsellers A Postcard From Italy and A Postcard From Capri. My novels have been published in 22 countries, hit the number one spot in three countries, been shortlisted for a Romantic Novelists Association award and have sold over a million copies.

I live by the sea on the south coast of England with my family and when I’m not writing or reading, you’ll find me walking on the beach or binge-watching a boxset.
