It Started with Memories – Welcome to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air…

She’d always loved her home, but more than twenty years ago, Nicki Woodward felt she had no choice but to leave Porthgarrion and live her life elsewhere.

Her heart had always belonged to Ed Moyle, but when he married her best friend it was too much to take. It was better to be somewhere else. But following the death of her mother, she takes the chance to return home. It’s time to lay her ghosts to rest…

Ed Moyle has been drowning in grief for the last seven years, since his beloved Suzannah died. He knows he needs to move on, but it’s not as easy as it sounds, and just thinking about it leaves him feeling awash with guilt.

But when Nicki Woodward walks into his pub, on a chilly winter’s evening, Ed wonders whether perhaps fate is giving him a nudge…

And whether he’ll ever be able to take the chance and act on it…

A note from Suzie…

“These books can be read in any order, although it’s probably best to read It Started With Flowers first, as an introduction to the village and the characters, whose stories will follow… in The Porthgarrion Stories.”

It Started with Cake – Welcome back to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air

Jack Turner feels like he’s about to make the biggest mistake of his life. His fiancée, Lucy, is planning their wedding with military precision, but he doesn’t even remember asking her to marry him… and the thought of spending the rest of their lives together? Well, it’s filling him with dread.

Rachel Pedrick owns the bakery in Porthgarrion, although she also makes wedding cakes, which is how she meets Lucy and Jack. The last thing she expects, while she’s contemplating cake toppers, is to start receiving flirty messages from the groom… or that she’ll like them so much.

Propriety gets the better of them, and they reluctantly call a halt to their half-hearted liaison. But fate, it seems, has other ideas, and when Rachel makes a shocking discovery about Lucy, she’s faced with a dilemma. Does she tell Jack, and maybe win his heart, or keep Lucy’s secret, and risk losing him forever?

Or… does she let fate make the decision for her?

It Started with Hello – Welcome back to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air

It Started with Hello sees newcomer to Porthgarrion, Laura Clark looking forward to a new start, away from her bullying, overbearing ex-husband. She’s bought herself a flat – a place to finally call her own – and she can’t wait for the freedom her new life will bring. What she’s not expecting is to bump into a total stranger and to fall in love with him the moment he says, ‘Hello…’

Sergeant Rory Quick is lonely. His wife walked out years ago, and his daughter Gemma has just left home. With so much time on his hands, he doesn’t know what to do with himself. He could catch up with friends… or he could fall in love with a total stranger, just because she said ‘Hello…’

Neither of them are looking for love, but when Laura’s flat is burgled, Rory comes to the rescue, discovering a protective side he didn’t even know he possessed.

Will that be enough, though, when Laura’s past comes back to haunt them?

It Started with Hello – Welcome to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air…

Kit and Summer have known each other all their lives – except they’ve never met.

Having lived in Porthgarrion all her life, Gemma Quick can’t imagine living anywhere else. The quaint little harbour village is simply perfect – even more so with the arrival of PC Tom Hughes. He’s got excellent taste in flowers and looks gorgeous in his uniform… If only her father didn’t dislike him so much…

Tom isn’t so sure about Porthgarrion. It’s nothing like he expected, and while he’s happy to be nearer his mother, he’s not at all sure about the villagers, especially his boss, Sergeant Quick, who doesn’t seem to have a good word to say about him…

But there are benefits… waking up to a sea view every morning, the walk to work along the harbour… and Gemma.

Falling for her is easy, but when he discovers the truth about her, will it be so easy to stay with her… and to stay in Porthgarrion?

She shakes her head. “That wasn’t begging. That was asking nicely.”

Jemima

What do you do when you’re looking for Mr. Reliable, but you’ve fallen for Mr. Flirt?

You accept it can never be… that’s what you do.

I’ve never begged for anything, and even though I know I might regret this… I can’t say ‘no’.

Oliver

What do you do when just saying, “Hello,” to the woman you love feels like a major achievement?

You learn to live with a broken heart… that’s what you do.

And hope I don’t regret it…

“I’ve gotta say, if I had a man in my life who looked that good, and was willing to do something like he’s just done to apologize for being an idiot, then I wouldn’t be standing in the ladies’ room looking at the door he just walked out of. I’d be running right after him.”

Isabel

What do you do when you’re in danger of becoming the oldest virgin in town?

You fantasize… that’s what you do.

Finding your Destiny (Never Give Up Book 4)

Finding your Destiny


Finding Your Destiny by Suzie Peters front cover.

Sizzle Rating: Five sex-sizzle flame ratingRomantic Sex and Language

Finding your Destiny features a super sexy hero, who’ll do anything for love.

“… I know I told you I was falling for you, when we were at my flat, but I knew even then it was more than that. I knew right from the moment I first saw you… and maybe even before that, when you were just a voice on the phone, and the highlight of my day. I’ve always known you were different… and that’s what makes it so disappointing that you didn’t believe in me.”

Destiny

What do you do when the man of your dreams pings into your ‘inbox’?

You flirt a little… that’s what you do.

I was running from my past and scared of my boss, and Ronan made me smile… all the time. And I wanted to feel special. Just for once.

Now I’ve met him, and he’s perfect. In fact, he’s better than perfect and I’m so in love with him, I can almost forget all my problems… almost.

Ronan

What do you do when you’re forced to go on a lecture tour with a man you despise?

You make the most of it… that’s what you do.

Especially when you discover that his assistant, who you’ve been flirting with for the last few weeks, is the woman of your dreams.

Now we’re together, I don’t ever want Destiny to leave again… only that’s the problem. She lives three thousand miles away. But I’m willing to give up everything to make this work…

Finding your Destiny is book four in the Never Give Up series, but can be read as a stand-alone story with no cliff-hanger, and a guaranteed HEA.

This is a dual POV story with graphic sex scenes and adult language.

A note from Suzie…

“This is the first of my American-based stories to feature a British hero, and I loved exploring his perspective of falling in love and doing whatever it took to make it work.”

Looking for Love


Looking for Love by Suzie Peters front cover.

Sizzle Rating: Five sex-sizzle flame ratingRomantic Sex and Language

Looking for Love – a single dad hero, who’ll never give up on the woman he loves.

Standing this close to her is hard. I want her so much, it hurts. My body craves her, like oxygen. But I can’t escape what she’s done. It’s messing with my head so much, I can’t even think straight. The urge to kiss her is almost overwhelming. But at the same time, I’m so angry, and so scared. Who is this woman who’s caring for my daughter? Who is this angel who’s gotten under my skin, and stolen my heart?

Cara

What do you do when you’re on the run, and your only chance for a future is to lie and cheat?

You lie and cheat… that’s what you do.

That’s what I did. Because I had no choice.

And now I’m safe, and for the first time in my life, I have a chance at happiness. As long as Max doesn’t find out the truth…

Max

What do you do when you’ve been lied to and cheated on before, but you really want a second chance, to see if you can love again?

You take a chance… that’s what you do.

That’s what I did, when Cara walked into my office, and into my heart.

Only now I’ve discovered she’s not what she seems to be, and all the lies that went before feel like nothing compared to this… because Cara’s caring for my daughter. And I don’t even know who she really is.

Looking for Love is book three in the Never Give Up series, but can be read as a stand-alone story with no cliff-hanger, and a guaranteed HEA.

This is a dual POV story with graphic sex scenes and adult language.

A note from Suzie…

“Although this is a six part series, Looking for Love completes the Crawford family stories, and I loved telling Max’s, and looking at the relationship between him and Colt… and where it all began.”

Chasing the Dream by Suzie Peters front cover.

Sizzle Rating: Three sex-sizzle flame ratingSizzling Sex and Language

Chasing the Dream – a dual POV story with graphic sex scenes, adult language, and a bad-boy hero, who’s willing to change for the woman he loves.

“Well… you’ve learned quite a lot about me this evening then, haven’t you?” I say, smiling at her. “You know I’m a private person – except where you’re concerned; that I had a fairly mixed up childhood; that I probably still let my dad and my feelings about him have too much influence over my life. And that I’m completely honest.”

And that with you, I’m in real danger… serious danger…

Eva

What do you do when you’ve got no experience with men, but you meet the man of your dreams? You know the type? Tall, dark, handsome, built like a god…

You fall head over heels… that’s what you do.

And that’s what I did, even though he’s my boss, and sleeping with him could have been the biggest mistake of my life.

Except, falling for him wasn’t my biggest mistake. Trusting him was… and it ended up costing me everything.

Chase

What do you do when you’ve got a reputation with women, and an angel walks into your life? No… not an angel. A damn goddess.

You learn how to be romantic… real fast. That’s what you do.

And that’s what I did.

Of course, I didn’t expect to fall for her. I didn’t expect to want ‘forever’ too… and I didn’t expect rejection. Not after she’d slept with me…

Or that losing her would hurt so much…

Chasing the Dream is book two in the six-book Never Give Up Series, but can be read as a stand-alone story with no cliff-hanger, and a guaranteed HEA.

A note from Suzie…

“This was a lovely book to write, mainly because a lot of it is set in the Caribbean, and who wouldn’t want to lose themselves, writing a love story, surrounded by azure seas and soft white sands?”
