While all three can be read as standalones, they are quite linked as you’ll see the sisters in each of the three books.

Christmas at Lilac Cottage is the first book in the White Cliff Bay series, set in a tiny seaside town in the week before Christmas. Snowflakes on Silver Cove was also released at the same time and is set in the same week as Christmas at Lilac Cottage. Although both stories follow different people in the town, and are standalone stories, the readers will see the same key events but told from different points of view. I loved writing these books as I know that readers of both stories would get a big kick out of seeing the links between the two books. Christmas at Lilac Cottage got to No.3 in the UK Amazon chart, my highest rank so far and was the No.1 bestselling book on iBooks just before Christmas. Here is the blurb for Christmas at Lilac Cottage

With the threat from the Putarians moving closer, her own Guardians betraying her, the survival of the world hinges in the balance.
Above all else, Adam must be stopped. But when Eve has a prophecy of her and Adam saving the world together, she quickly realizes she needs to work with him not against him.
But can Eve get through to Adam before it’s too late? Or will Adam’s evil heart result in the destruction of all?

‘We’re from KMW. Do exactly as you’re told and you won’t get hurt…’
Being grabbed off the street, blind folded, tied up and thrown into a van was not what Izzy expected to happen when she stepped out the door that morning. But when an accidental kidnapping at the hands of the sexy Ethan Chase and his ‘Kidnap My Wife’ sexual fantasy business leads to just that, Izzy seizes the chance to turn her misfortune into a brilliant new job opportunity…
Since then, life has been one big tangle of new client meetings, fake kidnapping pick-ups, and handling the temperamental, but drop dead gorgeous ‘bad boy’ Mr Chase. But, as liberating as being tied up in Ethan’s life is, Izzy knows the time is fast approaching when she must make some decisions and take charge of her future. The only question is: will Ethan allow himself to be a part of it?

This was the first book written under my pseudonym Amelia Thorne. It’s still a light hearted romance but a bit sexier than my other books
Joy Cartier has been to some of the most beautiful places in the world – but none of them have ever felt like home. So moving into a tiny cottage in the idyllic village of Bramble Hill, walking distance from her childhood home, seems like the perfect plan.
That is, until she gets there. The surly inhabitants of Britain’s Friendliest Village are anything but welcoming. Even her neighbour, reclusive Hollywood star Finn Mackenzie, takes one look at her and walks in the other direction.
But when the village animosity steps up a gear, it is the infuriatingly brooding Finn who keeps coming to her rescue. Slowly Joy begins to realise that maybe a happy home isn’t about where you live, but who you’re with…

One Hundred Proposals was my second book published by Carina and I was overwhelmed with how much people really fell in love with the story. With a 30 day blog tour, I was stunned to receive 5 star reviews from every single one of the bloggers taking part.
Here’s the blurb.
‘Is there really such a thing as a perfect proposal?
Over the next hundred days I intend to find out. I will find one hundred ways to propose to our Chief Proposer Suzie McKenzie and post the results here for your enjoyment. One thing’s for sure, not one of my proposals will be on top of the Eiffel Tower with a dozen red roses.’
Best friends Suzie and Harry are partners in romance. That is, they run the.PerfectProposal.com, coming to the aid of would-be grooms to create the ultimate marriage proposal.
But when Harry decides to catapult the business into the big leagues with a PR stunt all Suzie can see is a hundred days of heartbreak stretching ahead of her. But however exotic the location, or breath-takingly romantic the setting, Suzie has to keep remembering that ‘Marry Me?’ is the one question she can’t say yes to.
This business proposal should come with one hundred broken heart warnings…
One hundred proposals, one hundred chances to say yes.

I’m so excited that my story The Guestbook won the Carina Valentine’s Competition at the Festival of Romance last November and was published by them on Valentine’s Day.
I’m so proud of this book as its a completely different way of telling a story.
Here’s the blurb:
Welcome to Willow Cottage – throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home. Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook!
As landlady of Willow Cottage, the young widow Annie Butterworth is always on hand with tea, sympathy or strong Norfolk cider – whatever her colourful array of guests require. A flick through the messages in the leather-bound cottage guestbook gives a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of everyone who passes through her doors.
This includes Annie herself – especially now celebrity crime writer Oliver Black, is back in town. He might grace the covers of gossip magazines with a different glamorous supermodel draped on his arm every week, but to Annie, he’s always just been Olly, the man who Annie shared her first kiss with.
Through the pages of the Guestbook Annie and Olly, along with all the guests that arrive at the seaside retreat, struggle with love, loss, mystery, joy, happiness, guilt…and the odd spot of naked rambling!
Forget sending postcards saying wish you were here – one visit to Willow Cottage and you’ll wish you could stay forever.
The Sentinel was my first published book, it’s part of a 4 book series. Here’s the blurb
When Eve is rescued from a horrific coach crash by her teachers, she is shocked to discover they possess super strength and speed. But what happens next is even more harrowing.
In the aftermath of the crash she discovers that everyone in her life from neighbours, doctors, dentists, teachers, shop keepers and even her family and friends are actually super strength Guardians sent to protect her. They all have one thing in common, a single minded ferocity that she must be kept alive at all costs.
However, she is surrounded by secrets and lies. Those in the know deny all knowledge of what happened that fateful night. Everyone else carries on as normal, seemingly unaware of the new strange world that she has stumbled against.
With the help of Seth, her best friend, Eve discovers the prophecies surrounding her true identity and the super strength she too holds. With her Guardians pledged to protect her, her closest friends ready to die for her, her own hopes and dreams are put on hold whilst she battles to control the amazing powers she has been bestowed with.
But those that seek to destroy her move ever closer. Will the Guardians be enough to protect her when so many are prepared to stop at nothing to see her dead? And will she be strong enough to fulfil her destiny when the time comes?
A fast paced fantasy adventure for young adults.
With high speed car chases, airborne fights, amazing stunts and super powered beings, this is a story of loyalty, friendship and love.

Hi Holly, thx for the follow on Twitter. And congratulations for The Guestbook. How has the launch gone? SD
Thank you so much for this gorgeous review
Hi I recently read one hundred proposals and I’m trying to find the one hundred Christmas proposals but I’m only finding eBook. Is there any way of getting a print copy?
Unfortunately it is only on ebook I’m afraid. But you can get free kindle apps for your phone, iPad, android tablets and computers, hope that helps x
Loving the Silver Cove series, they caught me in a sad mood but l can honestly say I have never laughed so much reading a book if l had been on a beach l think someone would have carted me off somewhere ! Looking forward to the next in the series x
So pleased you enjoyed them. They’ll be a new book in the series coming out in May
One hundred proposals and one hundred Christmas proposals have had me glued for four days. So sad I have finished. Any chance of a third 😊 please
Just read Summer at Rose Island, literally could not put it down. I almost began to think I lived there myself, I was truly lost in this book.
It was touching and funny and relatable from the first page and every character was like someone you know.
What a talented writer, I haven’t read a book which I enjoyed so much for a long time.
Can’t wait to get another, although I probably ought to do some cleaning first!!
Thank you so much, I’m so happy ypu enjoyed it xx
Hi, loving your books, do you have any plans for a 4th book on Hope Island thanks Sarah.
Thank you, so happy you enjoyed them. No plans at the moment but i might return to Hope Island one day
Just finished Summer at Rose Island and I’m so sad that it’s over 😦
One of the best books I’ve read in a while, great story line, loveable characters and beautiful setting. I now want to move to a seaside town and live in a lighthouse.
Just ordered Summer at Buttercup beach and I can’t wait to get stuck in! Thank you for letting me into your world of great stories 🙂
Hi Holly! I just finished Spring at Blueberry Bay! It was absolutely amazing. I fell in love with Bella & Isaac! Are there any follow up books on Bella&Isaac?
-Katey
There are 3 books in the Hope Island series that follow 3 siblings Bella, Eden and their brother Rome. Spring at Blueberry Bay is Bella’s story, Summer at Buttercup Beach is Rome’s story and Christmas at Mistletoe Cove is Eden’s story. All the books are standalone and can be read separately but if you read all 3 books you will see the siblings, their family and the island’s residents in all the books.
Hi Holly just finished your latest book the chasing if summer dreams. What a great read. It had me laughing, crying and being swept away. Thought I had read all your books but just been through the list and found one I haven’t so am starting that now. Can’t wait for the next new book. Thank you x
So pleased you enjoyed it
I have just finished the summer of chasing dreams and loved it. I have now read every book you have published and I love them all I reread them time and time again. Bella and Isaacs was my first characters I fell in love with and i have now read it 5 times and the other 2 books with it. The sentinel series I was not sure about at first but wow the love, betrayal and magic was just fantastic. Can’t wait to see what is next.
So happy you’ve fallen in love with my books, especially The Sentinel Series. The next one will be out in June x
I can’t wait to see what you have come up with next.
Hi ,
I’ve just read the holiday cottage by the sea and really enjoyed it , was sad it ended, is there any other books with tori and Aiden in, where things continue? Would be great if there is ..
claire
So happy you enjoyed it. There are three books in the Sandcastle Bay series, The Cottage on Sunshine Beach is Melody and Jamie’s story and Coming Home to Maple Cottage is Leo and Isla’s story but you will see Tor and Aidan and all the other characters in all the books
I have just read The Summer of Chasing Dreams and loved it. I don’t usually have much time to read but this ‘lockdown’ has changed that! This is the first of your books that I have read and now looking forward to reading more.
Aww thats so lovely to hear thank you
I have read almost every book and have to say have enjoyed them all. Love how they just pull you in and you completely forget how long you have been reading always so sad when I come to the end of the books hope you are working on more will be keeping an eye out 😁
Thank you so much, so pleased you’re enjoying them
I have read most of your books and love them but haven’t read the sentinel ones so will correct that and download them Keep up the good work
Aww thank you so much, The Sentinel ones are very different to my romance books, they are fantasy adventure books for teens, but if you liked Harry Potter you might enjoy it
I have read all of your books except the sentinel ones. When I open one of your books I completely lose myself in it. Can’t wait for your new book to come out in June.
Thank you so much, that’s lovely to hear
I have just finished reading Spring at Blueberry Bay, I laughed, smiled and the the characters Bella and Issac, from the very first page I was hooked, and was sorry the story had to end but another great ending.
I have read some of your other books and have never been disappointed, keep up the great work.
Caroline
