Diamond Heart

by Susanne McCarthy

On the outside, it seemed that Charlie lived a wild-child artist's existence, travelling Amsterdam's beautiful canals. So why did Piet den Ouden bail her out when she accidentally landed in a fearful scrape? Piet was as serious as Charlie appeared carefree - and dynamic and rich. He wanted her to paint a mural - the first real challenge Charlie had ever accepted - so it might be that he just wanted some peace after her riotous parties! Or would Piet be interested in the Charlie behind that tearaway exterior - who was secretly so vulnerable and looking for love...?

About the author

I'm a Londoner, though now I live in Devon, a twenty-minute walk from the sea. I love nothing more than walking my pretty Cavapoo on the beach in the rain (well, OK, I don't object to the sun, but when it's raining we usually have the whole beach to ourselves.)

Back in the day I had 25 novels published by Mills&Boon. After a long gap doing other things I found my love of writing again, and self-published three new novels.

But I knew that to reach more readers I needed an established publisher. Step in Joffe Books. They were top of my list so I was delighted when they accepted the first novel I sent them.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
