Look no further! My new contemporary romance series is on its way.

It’s set in the fictitious location of Harbour Town, on the Mornington Peninsula, just south of Melbourne. For now, the working title is Harbour Town Heart-Throbs. Cheesy, I know, but in keeping with the Romance genre. I’m open to better suggestions!

So far, there’s a complete first draft of Never Forgot You – Book 1, and an almost complete draft of Never Say Never – Book 2. It will still be a long road to full publication; I need to re-edit myself for consistency, as my writing style has changed as the stories progressed. Then all the books will go through multiple rounds of professional editing, cover design etc., before the official launch.

But I know some of you are keen to see what I’ve been working on sooner rather than later, so I’ve launched a page on Ream – a subscription site built by authors for authors, that allows loyal readers to support their favourite writers, and help them serialise their works-in-progress. It’s very much a community-based platform, giving readers the opportunity to interact with authors and comment on the content before it’s set in stone. You can choose to follow authors for free or support them in return for content, and you can toggle between the two. While I’m getting started, the first few chapters of each book are available to followers for free. I’d love your feedback!

Never Forgot You – Book 1

When you lose everything and your heart is in pieces, starting again is hard. Add in an unexpected reunion with the man who first broke it, and hard becomes torture.

Liv Donato has come home to rebuild – or perhaps to escape. She’s hoping that coming back to Harbour Town will help her reconnect with memories of happier times. What she didn’t count on was reconnecting with Andrew MacMillan, her first love. The first one to truly know her. The first one to break her heart. In the small seaside community of Harbour Town, there is no escape. How can she put her heart back together when faced with the constant reminder of having it shattered?

Andrew is now a single dad with a chip on his shoulder, desperate to prove he’s responsible father material. Being confronted with the reminder of his less-than-honourable past is not a distraction he needs right now. Especially because around Liv, responsible is the last thing he wants to be.

Will they resist temptation, or can they find a way for two broken halves to make a whole?

Never Say Never – Harbour Town Hear-Throbs Book 2

There is one soulmate for everyone. The hardest thing isn’t finding them… it’s losing them.

Tommy Stevenson was not a nice guy. His childhood sweetheart, Chrissie, stuck by him anyway, seeing something in him that others didn’t. Showing him how to be someone better. Believing he was someone better, until he became the person she saw. And then he lost her. On the surface, for the sake of his friends, he’s surviving. But underneath, his heart is shattered and he knows he’ll never find happiness, let alone love, ever again.

Naomi Walker is a young single mum with a checkered past. She’s on the run, and her shields are up, but her defenses are no match for her hunky new heart-broken neighbour, and the genuine, small-town welcome she finds in Harbour Town. She knows she doesn’t deserve their acceptance, let alone their friendship. But she can’t help wishing if only…

Things are about to heat up in Harbour Town, and it has nothing to do with the scorching Australian summer.
