A warm-hearted, fun filled rom-com novella laden with love, music…and cats


When his ringing doorbell wakes Devlin from a post birthday party hangover, he finds a beautiful singing telegram dressed as a kitten on the other side, who leaves him intrigued and confused in equal measures. His mysterious songstress has the voice of an angel and the devil’s own temper to match. 


Katherine ‘Kat’ Grant has one dream, and that’s singing. To achieve it, she needs admission to the exclusive Perdies College of Music. Kat’s adolescent years were difficult, being dependent on the charity of others left her with a fierce independent streak and a loathing of special treatment. She’ll succeed on her own merits without anyone’s help, especially the cheeky, alluring Devlin who seems to have squeezed himself into every aspect of her life. 


Devlin knows he has the power to make all of Kat’s dreams come true. But wielding that power means he could lose her forever.


Can a charismatic cat loving hero and his sassy stubborn singer find their own love song?

Ghosts of Grace Cottage

A Sexy Christmas Novelette - Heat Level: Hot

*Winner - 2019 International Digital Awards - Short Paranormal Category*


 Two is good. Sometimes three is better.

Returning home for  Christmas and a new start, Eloise Waters settles on a small country  cottage in a sleepy English village, despite the fact its previous owner  was a recluse, the original owner was supposedly a witch, and it’s now  rumoured to be haunted!

On the first night in her new home,  sensual erotic dreams surprise and delight her. Only these aren’t  dreams. The rumours are true. Two handsome Regency ghosts inhabit the  cottage, becoming corporeal at night, trapped by a curse, compelled to  satisfy every desire of the new owner. Elly begins to fall in love with  Anton and Phillipe, her charming ghostly lovers.

But is there  more? Can the curse be broken? Or does Elly risk her own soul? As  Christmas approaches, and memories surface, how will Elly choose? How  can she possibly leave behind the Ghosts of Grace Cottage?
