Mia Sanchez lives a simple life—she enjoys her work as a teacher, going to yoga, and spending evenings drinking tea on the porch with her boyfriend of ten years, Ryan. Then one day she comes home to find Ryan packing his things, and her perfectly organized life falls apart. In a desperate attempt to get Mia out of bed, her best friend Emily arranges for her to spend a week in Greece with her late grandmother’s sister, Elpida Katrakis. Mia’s never met Elpida, she’s never even been to Greece, but she knows she can’t spend the rest of her life under the covers. So armed with a travel journal, and a promise she made to Emily—to kiss the first Greek man she meets—Mia embarks on what she thinks will be a simple week of getting to know her grandmother’s elderly sister.

Lines We Forget is now published and available in both e-book and paperback on Amazon and at all good book retailers. *** Love never comes easy, especially to those who aren't prepared for it... Twenty-four-year-old musician Charlie Stone has always played the classics. It's just another day of playing the same old songs when he notices her-Anna Garrett, a beauty with cold-bitten, rosy cheeks and a coffee cup clutched in her hands. Five songs later, and she's still standing there. He vows to steal her heart the only way he knows how. In the heart of London, chance encounters are few and far between, but a warm melody can bring people together... New day, same old disappointments. Anna Garrett believes her luck at finding love has stalled before it's even started when she's stood up for a second date with a friend of her housemate. But when she sees a handsome musician playing his heart out, everything changes. Memories come flooding back. As she listens to the music, Anna realises she must take matters of love and luck into her own hands. When opposites attract, sparks fly... After a series of wonderful, unconventional dates, feisty Anna and hopeless romantic Charlie declare their love for each other. But their newfound bond is rocked to its core by a New Year's Eve party gone awry that threatens to throw them off course. Finally, a bright future appears to be within their grasp. But when Anna's world fractures and distance comes between them, the real work begins. Will their love go on in perfect harmony, or become another old song full of Lines We Forget? *** All rights reserved.
