Do you love stories about family, friendship and secrets steeped in history?
So do I!
I write stories about mothers, daughters and sisters, about glorious English country houses and dark secrets that won’t stay hidden in the past. My books always bring together past and present. They explore triumphs and hardships and family relationships, diving deep into history to send a heroine on a journey of adventure, romance and discovery.
