A Balancing Kind of Love (book 2 in the Love is Crystal Clear Trilogy)
30th September 2021
Kirsty Young, a 40-year-old single woman, is at a crossroads in her life. She works hard and enjoys socialising, but something is missing. Has she left it too late to meet Mr Right and become a mother?
With life-changing decisions to make, she packs her bags and travels to Ibiza and Cyprus on a six-month sabbatical.
Max Bright, now in charge of the family business, Brightside Hotels, feels emotionally exhausted. All the travelling and keeping an eye on his mother and playboy brother has taken its toll. Unhappy with his lifestyle, he wants to find a balance. Can he make room in his life for romance?
When Max and Kirsty’s paths cross, it definitely isn’t love at first sight.
They travel in different directions. Then fate and a little help from their friends intervene.
Is there such a thing as a second chance?

Unexpected Love, Hidden Pleasure & Friendship Collide in Five-Star Romance

It’s a contemporary romance novel that’s both spellbinding and saucy – as erotic fiction and a good old-fashioned love story weave together.
While of course fiction …
I also wanted to include many elements female readers will relate to, such as the experience of the menopause, supporting each other in friendships and trying to thrive in love …

My lockdown writing journey actually started with journaling. But when I got tired of writing about me, I decided to finally start piecing together the book I’d always dreamed of writing.
