The Wake-Up Call (2023)
Beth O'Leary
"The Wake-up Call is utter perfection: it's everything I love about romance books in a seductive, funny, big-hearted and masterfully told story."
thumb
Beach Rivals (2023)
Georgie Tilney
"Complete sunshine in book form... Fun and swoonworthy, a delicious slow burn love story as well as a love letter to books, Beach Rivals is as bright and engaging as its glorious cover."

Speak of the Devil (2023)
Rose Wilding
"Absolutely, barnstormingly brilliant. Beyond gripping, with wonderful characters you know and care about, feel rage for and with. Perfectly paced and plotted, I loved every dark, clever, powerful page."
