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

Jasper, the black cocker spaniel, has a tendency to make friends with everyone he meets, but he has no idea the chain of events he’s about to set in motion when he bounds up to the man on the harbour…

His mistress, Anna Goddard, has sworn off men, with good reason, so the last thing she needs is for her dog to befriend an arrogant, rude artist, especially when this man doesn’t know how to keep his nose out of her business…

Sebastian Baxter came to Porthgarrion to put the past behind him. It’s been a struggle, but it would be a lot easier if people would just leave him alone and let him get on with painting…

Neither of them is looking for love – or even friendship – but with Jasper’s help, they might just be able to find 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.”

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?

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…

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.

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 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?

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?
