Christmas in July... and a Cover Reveal!

There's something wonderfully magical about Christmas in July.

Maybe it's because it gives us permission to dream about twinkling lights, cosy evenings, festive traditions, and all the joy that comes with the holiday season—even when the sun is shining.

So, it feels like the perfect time to share something I've been keeping secret...

I'm absolutely delighted to reveal the cover for my upcoming Christmas romance, The Naughty List Agreement, publishing on 6 October 2026 with One More Chapter.

But this book isn't just another festive romance.

It's an experience.

The Naughty List Agreement has been created in a unique Advent format, with perforated pages that allow you to open one chapter each day as you count down to Christmas. Beginning on 1 December, you'll unwrap a new part of the story every day until Christmas.

I've always loved Advent calendars, so this idea captured my heart from the moment it was suggested. When my children were young, we had a large wooden Advent box with little numbered drawers. Instead of filling each one with a chocolate, I'd leave a clue for them to solve, leading them to their Advent treat hidden somewhere in the house. It became one of our favourite Christmas traditions and created so many magical family memories.

There's something so special about taking a few moments each day to enjoy a little surprise, and that's exactly the feeling I hope The Naughty List Agreement brings to readers. My dream is that opening each day's chapter becomes part of your own Christmas traditions, too.

I'm already planning which Advent calendars I'll be treating myself to this year (yes, I can never resist!), and I love the thought of readers enjoying a little romance alongside their daily festive treat.

One of my favorite parts of publishing is finally getting to share the cover with you. A cover is a reader's first glimpse into the world of a story, and I couldn't be happier with how beautifully One More Chapter has captured the warmth, romance, and Christmas magic of The Naughty List Agreement.

Over the coming months, I'll be sharing more behind-the-scenes stories, snippets from the book, and plenty of festive fun as we count down to publication and then to Christmas itself.

I hope you'll come along for the journey.

After all...

Love Makes Life Magical. ❤️🎄

Tuesday Teaser: Her Most Dangerous Desire Arrives Thursday! 🏎️🔥

There’s just something irresistible about Formula One romance. The speed. The glamour. The pressure. The danger of falling for the one person you absolutely shouldn’t want…

And this Thursday, my newest F1 romance, Her Most Dangerous Desire, releases into the world!

There is something about the fast-paced world of Formula One that has hooked me for a long time. My first F1 book came out way back in 2009!

The adrenaline rush of watching races unfold in glamorous cities around the world is irresistible. The pressure, the passion, the rivalries, the danger—it all creates the perfect backdrop for romance. 🏎️🔥

I’m also excited that my friend Karen Booth has an F1 romance, Too Fast to Fall, releasing next Tuesday. It feels like Formula One romance readers are getting spoiled lately, and I’m absolutely here for it.

Now let’s talk about the man causing all kinds of trouble in Her Most Dangerous Desire…

I read the first book in this series and LOVED it! You won't be disappointed by Too Fast To Fall.

Meet Inigo Velasquez

Formula One champion Inigo Velasquez lives for control.

On the track, he wins by staying sharp, focused, and emotionally untouchable. Off the track, loyalty to his powerful family comes first. Always.

So when Marielle Bisset walks back into his life—the woman tied to a scandal that nearly destroyed his sister—Inigo knows exactly what he should do.

Make her pay.

Instead, one reckless night changes everything.

Because Marielle isn’t the woman he expected. And the attraction between them is impossible to ignore.

The closer Inigo gets to her, the more dangerous she becomes—not to his career, but to the walls he’s spent a lifetime building around his heart.

What You’ll Find Inside Her Most Dangerous Desire

🏁 Forbidden romance

🏁 Formula One glamour and rivalry

🏁 A powerful alpha hero brought to his knees

🏁 Family loyalty versus undeniable passion

🏁 Explosive chemistry

🏁 Emotional stakes with a hard-won HEA

If you love emotionally intense romance with high stakes, scorching attraction, and a hero who discovers that love is the biggest risk of all, this book was written for you.

A Little Tease…

“Marielle, you are pushing me to the very edge of my control,”

he admitted, burying his face in the crook of her neck.

“Well then, I’ll have to see what I can do to push you past it. I want to see you when you aren’t thinking and analyzing everything,” she said.

“I’m not sure that’s a smart idea,” he said.

“I thought we’d decided this wasn’t our most intelligent decision,” she said, shifting on him to run her finger down the side of his jaw to his mouth. She drew her finger over his lips.

He groaned and shook his head, sucking her finger into his mouth. He needed to take charge but every time he did that he saw the finish line and he wanted...Marielle and this entire night to last as long as it could.

Releasing Thursday!

Her Most Dangerous Desire releases Thursday, and I cannot wait for readers to meet Inigo and Marielle.

And don’t forget to grab Too Fast to Fall by Karen Booth next week so you can fully embrace your F1 romance era this week. 🏎️❤️

Happy reading!
