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! Amidst the swirling sands and scorching heat of the Sirun desert, two powerful sheikhs must confront the demons of their troubled pasts as they navigate the treacherous path between duty and desire. In a land steeped in tradition and torn by turmoil, these two proud desert princes will be forced to choose between the heavy mantle of obligation and the burning pursuit of happiness. Only by facing their darkest fears and risking everything will they have a chance to find love and finally heal their wounded souls.
