The Hearts of The Riveria Series
A 1930s Riviera Romance Saga
I’m currently working on a new five‑book series set around the glittering Aurelia Hotel in Monaco. Each novel follows a different couple, but the hotel staff, long‑term guests, and Riviera society weave a shared world of secrets, longing, and second chances.
These stories blend slow‑burn romance with the glamour of the 1930s coast—sunlight on marble terraces, moonlit gardens, sea‑salt air, and the quiet ache of wanting more. At the Aurelia, everyone arrives carrying something they hope to escape… and something they hope to find
The Quiet Rebellion of Adelaide Murphy
Set in 1893, beyond the boundaries of her usual world, The Quiet Rebellion of Adelaide Murphy tells the story of two women bound not by circumstance, but by quiet defiance.
Adelaide Murphy, an author writing under a pseudonym, hides her voice in plain sight—her words daring, her identity concealed in a society that offers women little room to speak freely. Across from her stands Eleanor Hartwell, the dutiful daughter of a respected lawyer, whose outward obedience masks a growing involvement in the emerging suffragette movement.
In a world governed by expectation and silence, their lives intersect not through spectacle, but through shared understanding—the recognition of constraint, and the courage to challenge it. What begins as mutual support deepens into something more enduring: a quiet alliance forged in intellect, resistance, and trust.
As each navigates the risks of being seen—truly seen—they discover that rebellion does not always arrive in noise, but in persistence, solidarity, and the strength to choose one’s own voice.
The Last Summer at Greywater Cove
Set against the fading light of the Dorset coast, The Last Summer at Greywater Cove follows Aubrey Trelawney, a woman who has learned to live within silence — until a stranger’s arrival unsettles the stillness she has built around herself.
Jonas Linthwaite, a scholar drawn to the cliffs by stories of shipwrecks and forgotten lives, carries his own quiet burden: the need to understand what endures when everything else is lost.
When their paths cross, a fragile connection forms — not through conversation, but through shared solitude, the slow recognition of kindred quiet. As the season turns and duty presses in, their bond becomes the one thing neither expected: a love strong enough to alter the shape of silence itself.
The Quiet Cathedral
Set in post‑war France, Glass and Ashes unfolds within the ruins of a cathedral scarred by fire and silence. Élise Moreau, a stained‑glass artist marked by loss, arrives to restore what war left hollow. Her hands know colour and fracture, but her heart remains locked in the moment her fiancé never returned.
Julien Arnaud, the architect overseeing the restoration, carries his own quiet burden — the guilt of a brother lost to the same war. He rebuilds stone by stone, believing perfection might redeem what cannot be undone. Their philosophies clash: she seeks beauty in imperfection, he demands order against chaos. Yet amid scaffolds and dust, their shared solitude begins to soften into understanding.
Through long hours of work and the muted rhythm of rebuilding, they learn that grief is not erased by light but refracted through it. As the cathedral’s windows slowly return to colour, their bond deepens — fragile, deliberate, and unspoken. And when the final pane is set and the first full light falls through, they discover that restoration is not the act of forgetting, but of learning to live within what remains.
