The Spotted Cottage by the Sea
2024
Her ex-husband said she’d be nothing without him. Her movie star neighbor disagreed.
Sheila had dreams of where she’d be at fifty, and none of them included being broke, divorced, and running a seaside shop. But when her scheming ex-husband threatened to sell the place out from under her beloved mother-in-law, she had no choice. She had to help. Russell Westwood wasn’t looking for trouble – or romance – when he left Hollywood. All he wanted was peace and quiet after his messy divorce. Falling for his sweet and determined neighbor was not part of his plan. But nothing else in his life had gone according to plan lately. Why should this? After Sheila’s decades-old secret comes to the surface, she has to decide if righting a wrong from her past is worth destroying her future with Russell. Will they find a way through, or is their second chance at a happily ever after too good to be true?

A Spot of Tea
2024
It’s going to take more than a spot of tea to get her out of this mess…
Eliza Dennet
used
to lead a nice, quiet life. Then she unwittingly helped a bank robber flee the scene and became her small town’s official laughingstock. Now, she can either hide, or find the robber herself. The handsome new sea pilot in town might be able to help her – assuming he doesn’t have more to do with the robbery than he’s letting on… Joey Mitchell has his own reasons for wanting to catch the robber. But if Eliza knew his secret, she’d surely refuse to help him gather clues. She
definitely
wouldn’t want to get to know him better when all was said and done, and that’s a risk he’s just not willing to take. As the investigation (and their relationship) starts to heat up, can Eliza and Joey protect their shot at happily ever after? Or will their time together end in heartbreak?

A Spot of Summer
2025
A famous actress, a divorcé, and a popstar walk into a (sand)bar…
All Mia Westwood was looking for on San Juan Island was a relaxing place to await the release of her latest film. Instead, she found friendship with a popstar, a perplexing mystery, and romantic feelings for a newly divorced island native who is not ready for a relationship. Seems like a story only Hollywood could’ve scripted, right? If only… Jacob Kowalski just wanted peace and quiet after his devastating divorce. But how was he supposed to get that when a beautiful, headstrong woman with big city connections kept inserting herself into a high profile investigation…and his every waking thought? It’s not long before Mia and Jacob’s attraction grows into something much more complicated—especially since Mia’s only in town for a short time and Jacob’s roots are firmly planted on the island. But when all is said and done, can they turn their summer romance into a happily ever after?
A Spot of Summer
, book 5 in the Spotted Cottage series, is a contemporary women’s fiction novel with plenty of sweet romance, small-town charm, and a delightful cozy mystery. Get your copy now, and welcome to the island!
