  • About

    Welcome to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air…

    The sunshine and sea air of Porthgarrion is exactly what the doctor ordered for Avery Watts. The last thing she needs is the pressure of performing at the Seaview Hotel for the summer season – her father’s idea of recovery. Avery is nowhere near ready to return to performing, if only her father would listen…

    Fed up with a solitary life, Stephen Goddard is considering his options. His job is his world, but he’s starting to realise he needs a life away from managing the hotel – a life he can call his own, plus someone to share it with…

    When he meets Avery, it’s unexpected, but helping her is second nature. And falling in love with her is even easier.

    *****

    Now all he has to do is convince her to stay…

    These books can be read in any order, although it’s probably best to read It Started With Flowers first as an introduction to the village and the characters, whose stories will follow… in the Porthgarrion Stories.

  • About

    Welcome to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air…

    Jasper, the black cocker spaniel, has a tendency to make friends with everyone he meets, but he has no idea the chain of events he’s about to set in motion when he bounds up to the man on the harbour…

    His mistress, Anna Goddard, has sworn off men, with good reason, so the last thing she needs is for her dog to befriend an arrogant, rude artist, especially when this man doesn’t know how to keep his nose out of her business…

    Sebastian Baxter came to Porthgarrion to put the past behind him. It’s been a struggle, but it would be a lot easier if people would just leave him alone and let him get on with painting…

    *****

    Neither of them is looking for love – or even friendship – but with Jasper’s help, they might just be able to find it…

    These books can be read in any order, although it’s probably best to read It Started With Flowers first as an introduction to the village and the characters, whose stories will follow… in the Porthgarrion Stories.

    Welcome to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air…

    Ember Penrose can’t forgive her little sister for sleeping with Adrian. It might have been four years ago, but why should she?

    Teagan knew how Ember felt about the handsome farmer… but did that stop her? No, it didn’t. And now she knows there can never be anything between them, no matter how much she still wants him…

    Adrian Roskelly enjoys his solitary life at the farm. Okay, so he’d rather share it with Ember, but years of rejection have taught him not to hope… or to dream. She’s not interested in him, and the sooner he accepts that, the better.

    *****

    A storm, a broken down van, and an excess of dry white wine lead to a night neither Ember nor Adrian will ever forget, but in the cold light of day, will they be able to live with the consequences of what they’ve done, and will they discover the truth of what’s gone before?

    These books can be read in any order, although it’s probably best to read It Started With Flowers first as an introduction to the village and the characters, whose stories will follow… in the Porthgarrion Stories.

  • About

    Welcome to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air…

    Millie Adams loves her job working as the doctor’s receptionist… almost has much as she loves Doctor Robson Carew. The problem? He doesn’t even realise she exists. So, when handsome Fraser Johnson asks her for a drink, she figures there’s nothing to lose. She won’t waste her time pining and, anyway, Fraser is very easy on the eye…

    Robson’s been in love with Millie for ages, but acting on his feelings has always felt impossible. She’s younger than him, and he’s her employer… It’s never felt right. Then when he sees her with Fraser, he realises he might have left it too late anyway.

    But when Fraser isn’t everything he seemed to be, and events take an unexpected turn, Millie wonders who to turn to. She doesn’t need a doctor, but Robson is the one who is there for her.

    And he has every intention of taking his chance and making it better… for both of them.

    ** Trigger Warning – This book contains a brief description of a sexual assault.

    These books can be read in any order, although it’s probably best to read It Started With Flowers first as an introduction to the village and the characters, whose stories will follow… in the Porthgarrion Stories.

    Welcome back to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air

    Indigo Nash is a self-proclaimed free spirit. She travels around the country in her VW Beetle, never putting down roots. She earns a living waiting tables, singing in pubs and bars, and, most importantly, she loves her life… exactly the way it is.

    Sean Clayton is Porthgarrion’s claim to fame. A successful novelist, he lives a quiet life, in the house on the cliff overlooking the harbour. It’s a life he enjoys, although he could do with a break… He’d hoped for a holiday, but it’s looking like an evening at the local pub is the best he can hope for right now.

    Sean isn’t sure whether it’s Indigo’s bright red hair, her perfect voice, or the fact she’s singing the songs he grew up with that first captures him, but he wants to know more…

    A lot more…

    Welcome back to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air

    She’d always loved her home, but more than twenty years ago, Nicki Woodward felt she had no choice but to leave Porthgarrion and live her life elsewhere.

    Her heart had always belonged to Ed Moyle, but when he married her best friend it was too much to take. It was better to be somewhere else. But following the death of her mother, she takes the chance to return home. It’s time to lay her ghosts to rest…

    Ed Moyle has been drowning in grief for the last seven years, since his beloved Suzannah died. He knows he needs to move on, but it’s not as easy as it sounds, and just thinking about it leaves him feeling awash with guilt.

    But when Nicki Woodward walks into his pub, on a chilly winter’s evening, Ed wonders whether perhaps fate is giving him a nudge…

    And whether he’ll ever be able to take the chance and act on it…
