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

Ember Penrose can’t forgive her little sister for sleeping with Adrian.

It might have been four years ago, but why should she? Teagan knew how Ember felt about the handsome farmer… but did that stop her? No, it didn’t. And now she knows there can never be anything between them, no matter how much she still wants him…

Adrian Roskelly enjoys his solitary life at the farm. Okay, so he’d rather share it with Ember, but years of rejection have taught him not to hope… or to dream. She’s not interested in him, and the sooner he accepts that, the better.

A storm, a broken down van, and an excess of dry white wine lead to a night neither Ember nor Adrian will ever forget, but in the cold light of day, will they be able to live with the consequences of what they’ve done, and will they discover the truth of what’s gone before?

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 Tears – Welcome back to Porthgarrion, where love is always in the air…

Millie Adams loves her job working as the doctor’s receptionist… almost has much as she loves Doctor Robson Carew. The problem? He doesn’t even realise she exists. So, when handsome Fraser Johnson asks her for a drink, she figures there’s nothing to lose. She won’t waste her time pining and, anyway, Fraser is very easy on the eye…

Robson’s been in love with Millie for ages, but acting on his feelings has always felt impossible. She’s younger than him, and he’s her employer… It’s never felt right. Then when he sees her with Fraser, he realises he might have left it too late anyway.

But when Fraser isn’t everything he seemed to be, and events take an unexpected turn, Millie wonders who to turn to. She doesn’t need a doctor, but Robson is the one who is there for her.

And he has every intention of taking his chance and making it better… for both of them.

** Trigger Warning – This book contains a brief description of a sexual assault.

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

Indigo Nash is a self-proclaimed free spirit. She travels around the country in her VW Beetle, never putting down roots. She earns a living waiting tables, singing in pubs and bars, and, most importantly, she loves her life… exactly the way it is.

Sean Clayton is Porthgarrion’s claim to fame. A successful novelist, he lives a quiet life, in the house on the cliff overlooking the harbour. It’s a life he enjoys, although he could do with a break… He’d hoped for a holiday, but it’s looking like an evening at the local pub is the best he can hope for right now.

Sean isn’t sure whether it’s Indigo’s bright red hair, her perfect voice, or the fact she’s singing the songs he grew up with that first captures him, but he wants to know more…

A lot more…

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…

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?

Days of Summer: An emotional, uplifting romance for lovers… everywhere

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

Struggling under the weight of his guilt, anger, and sadness, Kit is incapable of connecting with anyone. He’s closed himself off from the world, buried himself in work, and wrapped his smothered daughter in cotton wool. But a tragic death forces him to return to his childhood home, where he meets the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen, forcing him to question everything that he’s avoided about his life.

The woman is Summer, the ray of sunshine who is exactly what Kit needs to bring him back to life again. Fighting his feelings – and Summer – every step of the way, she vows to help this broken man as best she can… No matter what.

Until one day, he goes too far…

Will Summer ever forgive him? And can he forgive himself?

A note from Suzie…

“Days of Summer was the first book I sat down and wrote from scratch after my husband suffered two strokes. We were lucky: he survived. But our lives changed completely and I wanted to write something about accepting that things don’t always go to plan… that sometimes life just is what it is. And this is that book.”

JOIN SUZIE’S CIRCLE

Never Too Late – a deeply moving story of love, loyalty and second chances.

It was a meeting that only lasted an hour, but it was a meeting that would change their lives. Forever.

To Adam, Jenna was young, beautiful, and shy, and he fell for her so hard and so fast that to him, she would always be ‘the girl’. To Jenna, Adam was perfect… the most handsome man she’d ever seen, especially the striking tattoo that adorned his back, earning him the nickname ‘the wolf man’; at least in her mind. But a series of misunderstandings meant their plans for the following day never happened, forcing them to go their separate ways, to very different lives.

Fifteen years later, Adam has been through a series of relationships, always looking for something ‘more’ and losing a lot along the way. Jenna has come away from her ruined marriage a broken woman, choosing to protect herself behind a wall, burying herself away from life… and men.

What happens when fate reunites them, and they find out who they truly are? Will Adam be able to break through Jenna’s defences and help her see that, even after all these years, after so much heartbreak, it’s never too late to fall in love… again?

A note from Suzie…

“In this, my third stand-alone novel, I wanted to see what would happen to two characters who were brought together for just a brief time – one hour in this case – and then were divided and lived their separate lives, only find each other again many years later.”
