The Spell of Summer

Meredith is leading a straight-laced life in London with her straight-laced fiancé, determined to forget her reckless, wild-child past. They're about to get married.

Jamie is an old, poetic soul with a broken heart returning home to Cornwall to get his life back in order.

What binds them?

One chance meeting thirteen summers ago; one innocent spell spoken after one perfect night...

And now history is unravelling; the past and present, merging...

Words can change everything, but can they change your destiny?
​
And in the messy world of magic, what part does love play?

It's summer all over again, but the spell has only just begun.

(The Spell of Summer can be read as a standalone.)

Summer's End

Pippa knew her life had all but ended seven months ago, when she answered the phone call no one ever wants to receive: her husband had been in a fatal car accident.

Left physically and mentally disabled, David now sits in a care home while she struggles to keep herself together as she brings up their three kids. And on top of the grief, there's the guilt... she should be there for him, too.

One Christmas alone, one Valentine's, one spring, and now summer's nearly over... Can she face it all again?

Jimmy's known Pippa since before they were teens. Best friends with her younger brother and two years her junior, she's never had eyes for him, and when she fell in love with David, Jimmy finally accepted she would never be his. In fact, he swore off committed relationships altogether, for his path took him down a different route. No one needs to be burdened with the cross he chose to bear.

But his torch for Pippa never went out.

And maybe someone, somewhere, knows it, for words scribbled down and said out loud in a moment of desperation, might just be working their magic, about to shine a light on everything they could have ... if they're prepared to take a leap of faith...

Autumn's Fall

This book is currently on hold - please see the notice on the Home Page.
Candy's world is falling apart. In a polyamorous relationship for the best part of five years, Lauren - her life partner and Tim's wife - is dying.

Going from three, to two, is a terrifying prospect, and love may not be enough to save their altering dynamics. Her closest friends don't even know she's polyamorous.

Then, Rachel walks into Candy's life - an optimistic, cheerful soul brightening her darkest corners. But it's too much, far too soon, no matter how much Candy wants or needs her.

She also needs Tim. But he's retreating into himself, the loss of the woman they both adore, too fragile a wound for him to share.

Caught between life and death, old and new, Candy's heart is too broken to choose a path, and to make matters worse, there's a witch in black dress who wants her heart for herself.

As autumn falls, new magic weaves into the wind entwining dark with light, and the lure of the dark - silent, without expectation - is a comforting thing.

In the midst of losing everything she holds dear, Candy's in danger of losing herself, too.
