Ten years ago, Rob Connellyâs mother died, and he turned to his girlfriend, Flo Pelletier, for love and emotional support which she hadnât been able to give him. So heâd looked elsewhere for comfort. A one-night stand had turned into a commitment which had exiled him from both his home and his happiness. But now heâs back and Flo doesnât want anything to do with him.
Robâs apparent rejection of Flo had only confirmed what sheâd always felt at a fundamental levelâshe canât trust in love and can rely only on herself. From her hippy parents to her boyfriend, everyone she loves leaves her. So, what choice does she have but to keep her heart armor plated, and her affections solely focused on her home, friends and paying guests?
But with a house as shaky as her finances, Flo has no option but to accept Robâs offer to renovate the house to keep her business afloat. But will their relationship heal, or will it founder amid Floâs insecurities, Robâs new responsibilities and secrets which literally emerge out of the woodwork?

I write emotional, heartwarming romances with stories which make you turn the pages, and characters who feel realâwhether they be sheikhs, British billionaires, medieval knights or everyday people whose lives are usually far from everyday (at least in my books).
I'm an avid people watcher, hopeless romantic and dreamer who spends far too much time gazing out the window, imagining scenes where people struggle with life and emotions but always end up happily. Because, yes, I'm also an eternal optimist!
I live in beautiful New Zealand, just north of Wellington in a small village by the sea. It's here, in a sunny window seat overlooking the hills and trees, that I write my books.
Wherever you are in the world, welcome to my little corner, where I sit with my two cocker spaniels snoring gently beside me, creating worlds where people struggle with life and emotions but are always rewarded with love and happiness in the end. Because that's non negotiable!
