Amber Connelly creates art, bakes terrible cakes, and believes the best of everyone—especially the mysterious property developer who's caught her attention. David Tremayne is everything her bohemian family would warn her against: serious, secretive, and completely wrong for a woman who wears her heart on her tie-dyed sleeve.
David built his empire by staying focused and keeping his distance. After raising his siblings through their father's alcoholism, he's done with family responsibilities and emotional complications. Beautiful women? Fine. Lasting connections? Absolutely not. So why can't he stop thinking about the quirky artist who sees something in him he's spent years hiding?
When their worlds collide, Amber's open heart challenges every wall David has built, while his intensity awakens desires she never knew she had. But David is keeping secrets that could shatter Amber's trust—and Amber possesses something David needs more than he's willing to admit. As their connection deepens, both must decide whether love is worth the risk of everything they've protected themselves from.
A story about letting down walls, embracing vulnerability, and discovering that sometimes opposites don't just attract—they heal each other.

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!
