Still reeling from her husband’s betrayal, Holly Richards is facing the prospect of a very lonely new year but is determined to keep things as normal as possible for the sake of her two teenage children. But, as the New Year begins, her husband’s behaviour threatens to undo all her hard work and, as her friends and family rally around, she is left to wonder if she’ll ever have a second chance at love.
When Luke Sterling, an old school friend, unexpectedly walks back into Keldsthwaite, and Holly’s life, her world is turned upside down. Despite all her efforts not to, Holly soon begins to realise that, the more time she spends with Luke, the more she finds herself falling for his charms.
However, the sudden return of her husband threatens to throw a spanner in the works, leaving Holly with just one question: will she and Luke get their happily ever after?

I’ve always loved writing anything from romantic comedies, fantasy or even horror and becoming an author has been my dream for as long as I could remember…In fact, my very first story, at about the age of eleven, was about a little mouse called Gizmo who rescued a cat called Bilbo from a fire! I loved that story, as did my teacher; so much so, that I revisited those characters over the course of the year for various writing projects and I credit that year to the time I began learning my craft.
But life soon took over and I trained for a ‘proper job’ as a primary school teacher. I have been teaching for ten years now but have never turned my back on writing. I have collaborated with my best friend for over ten years but the itch to write for myself has never gone away and, now, I have finally taken the plunge…
At the end of a long day, there’s nothing I love more than curling up with my cat and a good book – well, apart from writing, that is! When I’m not writing, I can be found spending time with friends and family, hiking in the British countryside and watching any number of TV shows and movies.
