Her mother Kate is struggling with her own challenges, and the family home is crumbling around them. Worse still, a shocking discovery reveals that the cottage that has sheltered the MacLeod family for nearly a century may not legally belong to them at all. As Jen works to rebuild her shattered confidence and help Liam heal from the trauma they've both endured, she must also uncover the truth about her family's past—and confront the possibility that their sanctuary could be lost forever.
When Sam Nicholson, her first love, reappears in her life, Jen faces an unexpected complication. Sam is everything her ex-husband wasn't—kind, patient, and genuinely caring—but Jen isn't sure she can trust her own judgment anymore. As she slowly begins to heal, surrounded by the fierce love of her mother and sisters, Jen discovers that sometimes moving forward means understanding where you came from. But when her past catches up with her in the most frightening way possible, she'll need every ounce of courage she's found to protect the new life she's building.
Set against the stunning backdrop of New Zealand's coast, Sanctuary at MacLeod's Cove is a story about the healing power of family, the courage it takes to start over, and the truth that home isn't just a place—it's where you're free to be yourself.
Sometimes the greatest journey is the one that brings you home.

I write romances with stories which make you turn the pages, and characters who feel real—whether they be sheikhs, British billionaires, medieval knights or everyday people whose lives are usually far from everyday (at least in my books).
A little about me...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, 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!
I hope you enjoy my books.
