About this ebook

Set against sun-drenched Lake Garda, church-mouse Tamsin Heriot, an English rose, pairs off with privileged Luca Leopoldo who’s half Italian half Somali. But Luca isn’t what he seems… Orphaned, aged seven, when his childhood in Mogadishu is brutally destroyed, Luca is left emotionally broken. Ragged and starving he seeks refuge in Italy where kindly aristocrats adopt him. Ever since she was fifteen, Tamsin has had a crush on Luca and the summer before she goes to university, she’s determined to lose her virginity to him. It’s eight years before their paths re-converge. Tamsin, still lusting after Luca, receives devastating news that triggers her return to the dilapidated family casa when an unexpected bond develops between her and Luca’s widowed, adoptive mother. A Will alters what starts as a dalliance and there’s no shortcut to love, everything to lose, as the relationship between two wounded people, Luca and Tamsin, is pushed to meltdown.

I qualified as a Lawyer in England and joined a large London law firm. My first romantic novel STRANGE INHERITANCE (published by Robert Hale Ltd in 1990) went into UK and USA large print editions in 2004 (published by BBC Audio Books Ltd and Thorndike Press) and is a Kindle and Smashwords eBook 2011. The next romantic novel was PAINT ME A DREAM (published by Robert Hale Ltd in 1991) which went into UK and USA large print editions in 2004 (published by BBC Audio Books Ltd and Thorndike Press) and is also a Kindle and Smashwords eBook 2011. Fast forward to a sabbatical from the day job when I embarked on WHERE THE BULBUL SINGS a time-zone saga set in India span-ning the last days of the Raj to the present day. This saw the light of day in 2011 as a Kindle eBook, Smashwords eBook and a printed edition. IN THE PINK (Kindle ebook 2011) is a departure in style and content. GOLDEN GROVE, another romantic novel, is a Kindle and Smashwords eBook 2011. WILFUL FATE is a Kindle ebook 2012 and is a romance with a horse riding theme.THE BOARDROOM is a short story. I'm now writing a new time-zone saga with an exotic backdrop.I am a member of the Romantic Novelists Association. It’s a wonderfully supportive organisation.I live in rural Kent (Charles Dickens said: Kent, sir. Everybody knows Kent. Apples, cherries, hops and women) with my golden retriever, Inspector Morse.

    Tamsin is determined to not only lose her virginity but to lose it to Luca, who she's had a deep crush on forever. The story is playful and romantic and well written. It builds up into a great story and romance, with twists and turns along the way. Things never go as one plans and that is the beauty of the story. The story ends with greatness and with a sense of family. It shows that one doesn't always make decisions out of obligation but what is most important. Their own personal heaven.
