A Cornish Winter’s Tale

Summer and Jonny have been friends since childhood, growing up in the same Cornish village, sharing their love of the sea and coastal adventures. However, time and the realities of life have created struggles and long periods of forced separation. But they’ve never forgotten one another and have succeeded in finding their way back to each other when winter holiday visits have allowed. As Summer returns home for a Christmas to remember, she looks back over her life and reflects on mistakes made and opportunities missed. Back in Cornwall, with a renewed determination to finally start living the life she really wants, might Summer and Jonny finally overcome the wounds of their past and find their moment?

A compelling romance that blends lightness and laughter with moving episodes of heartbreak and drama, A Cornish Winter’s Tale tells Summer and Jonny’s story over the years, as they lose one another and then find one another again, always brought back together by a soul-deep, unbreakable connection that neither of them can ever entirely escape, even when they are foolish enough to try.

Treresset: A Cornish Manor House

Coming soon…

Coming in the new year, Treresset: A Cornish Manor House, will be the first in the Treresset series.

Following the death of her aunt, Penelope Carys returns to Cornwall. Her mission: to rescue her family’s Elizabethan manor house from neglect and restore it to its former glory. But her reunion with the place of her birth will bring her far more than she had bargained for: love, mystery and even danger she could never have anticipated. Her new home could be the answer to her prayers, but can she rise to the challenge?

Leo Helyer lives and works at Treresset and loves it as if it were his own. But then his employer dies and he’s left fearing he’ll lose both his livelihood and the roof over his head. He’s in no way prepared for the way his life will change when Penelope Carys appears one day, bringing big plans and an even bigger impact on Leo’s life and emotions. Will he be able to grab the new opportunities Penny offers him, or find them slipping from his grasp? 

Set amidst the beauty of the Cornish countryside and its spectacular coastline, Treresset is the perfect read for lovers of Cornwall and uplifting romances alike.

Treresset: A Cornish Manor House is the first of in a series in which we meet the Carys clan, all Cornwall born and bred, but who have drifted away from the beautiful county of their birth. Gradually they return, to be embraced by the house and estate of their ancestors. But not everyone will be happy to see them back, and life will not be without its challenges.
