Rachel thought she'd left small-town complications behind for good. But after one too many toxic relationships, she knows it's time to face the decision that's haunted her for ten years. Coming home to Lantern Bay should be simple—except for Zane Black.
Ex-rugby star Zane has built his post-sports life on unwavering principles, especially when it comes to protecting the people he loves. When Rachel's return threatens to disrupt everything he's worked to safeguard, he'll do whatever it takes to stop her.
As attraction flares and new tensions rise, Rachel and Zane find themselves locked in a battle neither fully understands. But some secrets run deeper than either imagined, and the truth they're both fighting for might be the one thing that could destroy them—or finally set them free.
A story about facing the past, hidden truths, and discovering that sometimes the person you're fighting is fighting for the same thing.

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!
