Criminally Yours - Cover Reveal!

I'm releasing the second book in my bodyguard duet, CRIMINALLY YOURS, on July 24th. Below are the tropes, tagline and blurb.


Keep scrolling for the most stunning cover you will see. You are going to squeal, I did. It was designed by Seajart from Instagram, the same cover artist who designed Regally Binding and the Coulter F1 series.


You can pre-order the Criminally Yours e-book here for just 99p (or equivalent in your country). This is the pre-order price only. 


Her life depends on trusting the hot, ex-forces bodyguard who broke her heart and refuses to lose her again.


Tropes

  • second chance romance

  • suspense romance 

  • forced proximity

  • man obsessed

  • power play

  • no third-act break-up

  • only one tent

  • miscommunication (sorry, not sorry)

  • touch her and die


I'll officially reveal the cover and blurb on Instagram and TikTok later this month, so please don't share it until then. If you want to celebrate it by liking, sharing, or commenting once it's out there, please do.


Next month, I shall let you know the advanced reader copy (ARC) schedule.

Criminally Yours Blurb

Millie Haven was always the quiet book lover who avoided trouble…until she witnessed a violent attack by a prominent politician’s son. Now she’s running for her life.


The only person who can protect her is her first love, Strike, the ex-forces bodyguard who broke her heart ten years ago. Protecting Millie is torture, but Strike will do anything to keep her safe and not just because he owes her for ruining her life.


But because of a secret he can never share.


With forced proximity and anger from their shared history, they’re at each other's throats. But the danger of their situation and shared longing reignites the spark between them. They quickly learn that passion and temptation are a lethal combination…


But with Millie’s life at stake and Strike fighting emotions and a past that could ruin everything, it’s a temptation they must resist.


Will they survive the attacks, the secrets, and the passion that control them?



AND NOW FOR THE COVER!

SPANISH BETA READER

Are you a Spanish speaker? Do you love reading romance that needs a bit more editing? I'd love it if a Spanish speaker, especially someone who has lived in Spain for a long time, could read a book I'm working on. 


If this is you and you want to discuss it further, please get in touch. The book won't be ready for a month or two, but any help would be fantastic. 


REDDIT

Tell me, are you a regular Reddit user? Do you talk about books there? If it ever feels like something you'd be happy to do, I'd really appreciate it if you'd recommend one of my books in one of the relevant threads. It can make such a huge difference.

OCTOBER RELEASE

Are you ready for the second book in the Cloud series? This is Flora's book. It includes an age gap relationship and a sport I've never written about before. But it also includes the things you loved about the first book in the series: romance, the cookery school in the Cotswolds and the chaotic Cloud family.

Triple Threat by K.C. Brooks

All the baseball fans in the world know Jace Lyons.

Baseball legacy, first-round draft pick, and now, the disgraced star of the Erie City Hawks.

And for one night, two years ago-mine.

 

I only wanted to let go for a few hours, a temporary escape from grief that felt like drowning. But that impulsive choice had consequences, and when two pink lines appeared, my entire world shifted. I spent two years in the silence he left behind, convinced he'd never want to be a part of our new lives.


Now, Jace is back in Erie City, fighting for redemption on the Hawks and determined to prove he's more than his past mistakes.

The shock of his return is nothing compared to the look on his face when he realizes he has a daughter-one he knew nothing about.


He wants in. he wants to be a father, a partner, and more.

But every time our eyes meet, I don't see the baseball player. I see the man who set my world on fire.

We should focus on the rules of this new game. We should keep our distance for our daughter's sake. But Jace isn't just playing for the Hawks anymore-he's playing for my heart.


Triple Threat is released on June 3rd here

Body-checked Into Your Heart by Adelle Tan

Adeline Chen

Adeline is a real-life Mulan when it comes to the entire university experience: top-tier classes, a record of volunteer work that could win awards, impressive internships, her own band, a secure part-time job, amazing friends who have become her family away from home…you name it, she has it. She’s hoping to gain new experiences through the new position for the university’s ice hockey team she applied for. Easy enough…until she discovers that avoiding the infuriatingly arrogant team captain she can’t seem to get along with is part of the new experience. Or a whole new experience altogether.

Worst of all, his coach has asked her to mentor him for volunteer work at the university.

Adeline knows she is capable of overcoming more than one hockey-sized obstacle in her one-man race to graduation, but Joshua Lancaster is a complication she never planned for. And one she can’t quite ignore.

Beneath his bravado, skills, and swagger, she’s beginning to see the guy with dreams bigger than the rink…and maybe the one thing she didn’t realize she’s been yearning for all along.


Joshua Lancaster

Joshua’s destination after graduation has been mapped out: Return to Canada to play in the NHL. Becoming team captain is the immense boost he’s been waiting for, especially in pursuing his dream of promoting hockey in Australia and showing the world that there is hockey potential in Australia. He did not expect the brilliant, sharp-tongued new staff member to slice straight through his focus like a sword.

Adeline Chen rattles him in ways no rival ever has. Even the most formidable opponents on the ice are no match for her boldness and energy. Her confidence, her fire, her unshakable drive. Everything about her pulls him toward a world beyond hockey, one he never imagined wanting to venture into. And he’s ready to prove to her she’s never a distraction; she’s the one thing he’d drop his gloves to protect.

She’s not a game like the hundreds of them he plays annually.

She’s endgame. His forever.

He is willing to throw down his Ace and let her Queen card rule.


Body-checked Into Your Heart is released August/September 2026. Find out more here.
