💼 About the Book

He’s the client. She’s the bodyguard.One rule: no attachments.One problem: they’re already falling.

Daniel Williams is the kind of CEO you don’t say no to—unless you’re Charity Keone, the ex-supermodel turned elite protection agent sent to guard him. She’s flawless, untouchable, and trained to keep her heart locked down.

He’s rich, haunted, and dangerously charming.

Together? They’re explosive.

Breaking News!

Next up for me is republishing a series I wrote in 2007-2009.  It has three kick-ass heroines and is my version of Charlie’s Angels.  I loved that series so much as a kid and when the movies came out it reminded of how great it was to see women kicking butt and saving the day.

Its so fun to revisit earlier work and see how much I’ve grown as a writer, but I also noticed some things about my writing and storytelling have remained the same.  Especially writing strong women characters.  

I just can’t help myself when it comes to that. I’m the oldest of three sisters, and was raised in a very matriarchal family.  My dad never acted like because I was a girl I couldn’t do stuff he would have taught a boy.  I think that informs how I create the women in my books.  

SKIN DEEP is the first book in The Marlowe Agency series.

Three women. Three extraordinary skills. One powerful team.

Charity: a deadly bodyguard.Justine: a master of hand-to-hand combat.Anna: a brilliant hacker and tech expert.

Individually, they’re forces to be reckoned with. Together, they’re unstoppable.

Welcome to The Marlowe Agency.

She controls every fight. Every move. Every emotion. Until him.

Charity Keone doesn’t get attached. She gets the job done. Martial arts master. Bodyguard. Sharp enough to cut, cold enough to walk away. Until Daniel Williams.

Billionaire. Ruthless. Off-limits.

From the moment she steps into his world, he’s a complication she can’t afford. But when an assassin’s bullet makes her his only line of defense, lines blur fast. Daniel doesn’t want protection. He wants her. And Daniel Williams doesn’t lose. Not in business. Not in bed. Not when it comes to the woman he refuses to let go.

Because surviving this job was supposed to be the hard part. Not surviving him.

What do you think? This is my first time as an indie author. I'm in love with my cover. Let me know your thoughts.

Strawberry season

February always makes me crave strawberries. Probably because I used to go to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida every year. Also my mom would take us strawberry picking where we'd spend an hour picking as many pints as we could, then we'd come home and mom would make jam! It was so good.

I can't go strawberry picking in February in the UK but I can make some strawberry muffins which satisfy my craving for something fruity. Here's my go to recipe.

Ingredients

• ½ cup milk

• ¼ cup canola oil

• 1 large egg

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ cup white sugar

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup chopped strawberries

Directions

1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) Line 8 standard-sized muffin cups with paper liners.

   
   

2. Lightly beat milk, oil, and egg in a small bowl.

   
   

3. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Toss in chopped strawberries and stir to coat with flour. Fold in the milk mixture until just combined. Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.

   
   

4. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops bounce back from the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
