edit data

I write family saga/romance books that focus on relationships - family, romantic, professional.

My books include the Belleville series – Julia's Story, To Love, Honour and Betray and Return to Prior Park and Heirs and Successors– the story of a wealthy Australian family, focusing on the three children - Richard, William and Julia.

First Born Son is a companion book to Heirs and Successors. The book takes a key character - Dr Philippe Duval - and explores his life. And now, in 2024, I have released the sequel to First Born Son, the stunning Price to Pay

I love the characters I've created. I hope my readers do too.
