"Wow! Just wow! What a debut!" How much can possibly happen to one person before they break? Quite a lot, it would seem. Ava Swan’s life had always been simple - until she fell in love. Big love. Epic love. Epic sex... Love; a common, yet utterly complicated emotion that brought her a happiness that she never thought possible - until it ripped her world apart. Turning to the sanctuary of her parents at their home in the idyllic village of Clovelly, Ava starts to put the pieces of her life back together. Her life and that of the baby that she keeps hidden from her past. New love arrives, and Ava believes that she has truly moved on. Only the past always has a way of catching up with you. When Mark returns to Ava’s life, so do the feelings that she buried deep inside, and when the new love she found and the new life she created are revealed to have been built on lies, danger follows, along with a whole new level of pain and despair. It’s enough to break you, but sometimes it can make you - and all of this because of Hattie. "A Lovely debut novel from author Roxanna C Revell. Because of Hattie is a highly emotional story. I love a well-written age-gap romance and this one is beautifully presented, the writing style is easy to follow, engaging and heart-gripping." "GREAT READ! Because of Hattie is a poignant love story that will leave you feeling all sorts of emotions from hope, love, indignation and anger. It is beautifully written, the characters are well thought and the story line will keep you turning the pages."

Roxanna C Revell is a British indie author of a mixed bag of books. She writes the stories that come to her: romance, dark romance, thriller, dystopian, crime families – you name it! Regardless of the genre or focus, you can guarantee twists, steam, and all the feels. Originally from Nottingham, she enjoyed drinking way too much with colleagues in London before getting married, pregnant, and moving to the Bedfordshire countryside. Whilst on maternity leave, she decided to answer that nagging question: does she have what it takes to write a book? The answer to that question is her debut, Because of Hattie. Now well and truly committed to sharing the stories in her head with the world (‘world’ might be a bit ambitious), she writes when she’s not at work, chasing her two Wildlings, and not too wiped out to focus. Her books contain bad language, kink, and triggers, and will always be 18+.
