A quiet night at a border petrol station goes sideways when lone worker Tamzin Clough steps out from behind the window to pull her truant brother away from trouble. A stranger in black leathers ends a scuffle in one breath... and a single photo turns him into a tabloid fantasy. When the press mistake Luca for his famous twin and Tamzin for a mystery girlfriend, he makes an offer she can't refuse: play along, and her brothers get a real shot at safety, school, and much needed support. She's practical, not starstruck. He's methodical, not the star. But paparazzi don't care, and neither do his brother's fans and family. If she says yes, everything changes - home, work, school, and the story people tell about a girl from Darnley. By Christmas, the Cloughs may be sitting down to their first real family holiday with the Holyoakes, the local 'royals' - if they can weather the storm that comes with it.

You'll spot crossovers - and many familiar faces; or example, Eric Dair from "A Villain for Christmas" and a whole bunch of the locals, which you have met if you read my other books.

What happens when you have lost everything in life then one day someone shows up and you never knew you needed them...

Love in the Quiet Hours follows Kevin and Katie, two young adults battling trauma and addiction as they navigate life inside Briarwood Rehabilitation Center. Kevin arrives determined yet terrified, carrying years of pressure, loneliness, and substance abuse, while Katie-fragile, withdrawn, and haunted by a violent childhood-keeps everyone at arm's length. Slowly, through shared silences, vulnerable confessions, and moments of crisis, they form a tentative but powerful bond that becomes a lifeline for them both. As Kevin progresses in treatment and Katie struggles with panic, fear, and relapse, the distance between them grows-and forces them to confront what healing really requires: trust, space, honesty, and the courage to face their own shadows without losing each other in the process.

They were sixteen when they went to sleep. They woke up a thousand years later as humanity's last teenagers, falling back to an Earth that healed without them. Craig Tucker hacked fate itself so he'd never wake without Tweek Tweak beside him. Now, they have one lander, a dying space station, and a promise made across centuries: together, always. But the silent green world below has been keeping the lights on, waiting with cookies, playgrounds, and children who were never quite human. A tender, hopeful post-apocalypse about love that refused to thaw, mornings after the end of everything, and a sky that never forgot their names.
