Wishing all my friends around the world a safe, happy and healthy festive season!

It may not be possible to get together as we are used to, but we can share the love in other, smaller, caring ways. And for those that need it, here is a big picture hug from me with a few shots I've taken this year in and around my home in Yorkshire UK.

Spring and Summer

Autumn and Winter

Next month sees the publication of my ninth Acosta book! The Playboy Prince of Scandal. Thank you so much for loving this polo-playing family as much as I enjoy writing about them!

Featuring Sofia Acosta, the long-suffering, yet still loving sister of four billionaire brothers, this book gives me the opportunity to show just how tough and resilient a woman can be, and still keep her sense of humour! Especially when we take into account Sofia growing up surrounded by titans who think they rule the world.

When Sofia meets a titan who actually does rule his particular part of the world, only to discover that Prince Cesar intends to destroy her, for writing a piece of scandal about him, Sofia determines to confront the prince and put him straight.

Heading into conflict with one of the most powerful figures in Europe, could never be easy, but resourceful Sofia Acosta is stronger than she looks. Accepting an invitation to the prince's banquet in Rome is a brave move, but when passion takes over, all bets are off.

Stay safe everyone, and happy, happy reading!

With my love to all of you,
