Brighton 1969: Dottie Perks steps off the train and breathes in the sea air, the smell of fish and chips, and the precious childhood memories of a friend and place she’ll never forget.

Dottie Perks has forged a new life for herself in London, a new job and sweet boyfriend Joe to keep her warm at night. She’s safe, happy and loved. What more could she ask for?
* * *
But when Dottie returns home to Brighton for a family celebration, the last person she expects to see is her first love; the boy who stole her heart… and broke it. Ralph Bennett.

As old familiar feelings come rushing to the surface, Dottie struggles to deny the strong chemistry that still exists between them. She can’t throw away everything to be with Ralph…can she? And if she does, how can they ever overcome the pain and tragedy of their shared past?

A beautiful, touching and heartbreaking story of love, loss and friendship. Perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries, Mary Gibson and Katie Flynn.

There are so many people to thank for walking beside me on this journey as a writer. First my wonderful children and grandchildren who give me so much joy and love, you mean the world to me. As do my brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, and all my family, here and in Ireland.
I had a present recently from one of my close friends it was a plaque that read, 'I get by with a little help from my friends' this is so true. I have been very lucky in my life to have been blessed with so many amazing friends. Angela, Lynda, Linda and Lis. To my dear friend Val in Canada. To dearest Louie who has always been here for me through the good times and the bad. To my special friend Wenny, love always.
