Flo Pelletier learned early that people leave—first her hippie parents, then the man she loved most. So she's built a life that depends on no one: her bed-and-breakfast, her community, her carefully guarded independence. The last person she wants to see is Rob Connelly, back in Lantern Bay after a decade away.
Rob knows he destroyed the best thing in his life when grief and poor choices drove him away from Flo. Now he’s home with a chance to make amends—starting with saving Flo's beloved but deteriorating house. If only she'd let him close enough to try.
When Flo's business faces financial ruin, she has no choice but to accept Rob's help with renovations. Working side by side forces them to confront the past neither has fully healed from. But as old feelings resurface and new secrets emerge from the house's very walls, they'll discover that some foundations are worth rebuilding—and some love is strong enough to survive even the worst mistakes.
A story about second chances, forgiveness, and the courage to trust again when your heart has been broken before.

I write emotional, heartwarming 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).
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!
