“Except marriage.”
Callum grinned into the darkness. “And children.”
“And a happy ever after?”
Mallory tipped her head back to look up at him. While dark, she could see his wolfish grin as he leaned back to slide the blind down.
“Forever,” he promised, and sealed it with a very thorough kiss.
The End.

MISS FLORENTINE’S SCHOOL FOR INVESTIGATORS
SNOWDROPS IN SPRINGTIME
Book One
RELEASED OCTOBER 2019
After inheriting a fortune to add to her already comfortable lifestyle, Miss Florentine has everything she could want in life. However, her life as a lady of circumstance is boring. Thanks to the benevolence of a distant relation, though, Florentine has an opportunity to change her life for the better and thus, Miss Florentine’s School for Investigators is born - much to Bertrand’s disgust.
As a lawman with a fine reputation for getting results the last thing Bertrand Hartington-Myers needs is a meddling female, sorry, investigator getting herself involved in his work. Doesn’t she know that crime-fighting is dangerous work? Apparently not seeing as she gets her friends helping her, oh, and a few irritating, nosy, and meddlesome villagers. Together, they seem determined to involve themselves in everything he does, but are no more distracting than the beautiful, wilful Miss Florentine, who seems determined to drive him nuts.
Miss Florentine is determined - to make Bertrand see her School for Investigators as a credible crime-fighting organisation. What she is less thrilled about is having to battle her attraction toward the handsome lawman who sees her as nothing more than a meddlesome female. Can she persuade him that she considerably more than an addle-brained chit with more money than sense? It is harder than she imagined when a killer in their midst focuses his attentions on one of her investigators and everyone’s lives are thrown into chaos.
Can Miss Florentine and Bertrand work together to catch the killer, or will their organisations keep them apart forever?
MURDER AT HYNDE HOUSE
RELEASED - NOVEMBER 2019
They are invited to attend the reading of a will of an old acquaintance. The only condition is that they spend the weekend at a house nobody wants to visit. When this eclectic group of people gather on the dockside, awkwardness and suspicion abound.
Nobody has any idea what lies in store for them.
Is everybody as innocent as they seem?
When they are greeted by somewhat questionable servants, and a series of worrying situations that leave everyone shaken, the guests begin to grow uneasy. The rather dour persona of the solicitor, whose silence and odd behaviour leave everyone aghast, make everyone question their connection to the recently departed.
Disappearances, murder, the shocking contents of a will, sinister threats and strange warnings abound in this dark murder mystery set along the Cornish coastline.
Does local folklore have a ring of truth to it? Is the island truly cursed?
It quickly becomes evident that the benefactors of this will reading will be lucky if they survive to see the benefits of their inheritance, especially when events turn sinister and it becomes clear someone wants all of them dead.
Can they find out who is living seemingly innocently amongst them, yet trying to murder each one in turn? Is the deceased really in the afterlife? Can anybody be trusted?
More importantly, will any of them ever get off the island?
TUPPENCE
Tipton Hollow Series – Book Three
RELEASED – OCTOBER 2019
When Tuppence is arrested for a crime that she most definitely did not commit she knows her life is ruined. Facing trial for murder means she can never return to the life she once knew and loved, not in the small village of Tipton Hollow in any case. All right, so life there was a little boring, and left her yearning for something more in life, a little adventure maybe. But the kind of adventure Tuppence found herself in was something she wouldn’t ever dream possible in her worst nightmares.
Lost in a world of gaol, false accusations, lies and broken trust, Tuppence is forced to turn to the last man she should ask for help. Her humiliation is complete when Isaac Chester, Lord Aldridge arrives to speak to her in prison before he tries to secure her release. She should be pleased he would help her try to gain her freedom but is embarrassed that this handsome, debonair man should see her in her darkest hour. Little does she know of his ulterior motive, or the personal reasons behind his decision to help her.
Can they find out who the real murderer is before Tuppence appears in court? While Isaac does find enough evidence that casts doubt on her presence at the scene of the crime and secures her release, keeping her out of gaol is a different matter entirely. The finger of the blame still points at her, and not even he can protect her. Life in Tipton Hollow swiftly becomes impossible for Tuppence, especially when another body turns up and all eyes turn to her once more.
What Tuppence doesn’t expect is to not only have to fight for her freedom but the burgeoning desire she has for the one man who has given her hope for the future.
Aware they can never have that future together, Tuppence must make a very brave decision, and it is one that leaves her heartbroken.
Tipton Hollow should be a normal, sleepy village hidden in rural England. However, sinister events begin to unfold which changes the lives of several of its residents and takes them on epic adventures of love, murder, lies and mystery. Join Harriett, Beatrice, Constance, Tuppence and Eloisa as they battle murderers, parsimonious gossips, and the men in their lives as they work to solve the mysteries that Fate hands them. Will they ever find the happiness they deserve?
Five dashing heroes meet five rather daring young ladies: a perfect combination for romance – or disaster.
