Yours to Cherish: A heartwarming New Zealand romance about family, secrets, and second chances
About this ebook
Madeleine came to New Zealand for one reason: to fulfill a deathbed promise that seemed simple at the time. Six months in Akaroa, then she can return to her life. What she didn't expect was Gabe—charming, persistent, and dangerously easy to fall for.
Dr. Gabriel Connelly has always been drawn to mysterious women, but Madeleine is different. Despite the undeniable chemistry between them, she keeps him at arm's length, insisting they can only be friends. Something is driving her to keep her distance, and Gabe is determined to find out what.
As the months pass and their connection deepens, Madeleine faces an impossible choice: honor the promise that brought her here, or risk everything for a love she never saw coming. But some secrets have the power to destroy even the strongest bonds—and when the truth finally surfaces, it may be too late for both of them.
A story about promises that bind us, love that frees us, and the courage to choose your own path.

About the author
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!
