After several weeks of hard slog I’m delighted to report that The Loving Kind, novel number nine, is finally finished. First draft anyway! I’m sure there will be plenty of changes to be made once I get my notes back from my editor.
It’s 94,347 words long, 352 pages – but who’s counting!

Here is a very exclusive sneak peak: Do let me know what you think!

Romance writer, Libby Small has just been dumped by her agent, her publisher and now her husband. She’s finally had enough!

When she’s offered the chance to ghost write a novel for ex Miss Ireland, Lulabelle Ryan – travelling from five star hotel to five star hotel as part of the model’s entourage – she decides what the hell? And even better, her best friend, spiky-mouthed magazine columnist, Celeste Barnacle, is coming along for the ride.

Two months to write a raunchy bonk buster set in the glitzy modelling world – should be easy – right?

Wrong!

Lulabelle is filming ‘Plastic Fantastic’, a reality show about plastic surgery – and as she goes under the knife in San Francisco, Paris and finally Antigua, Libby and Celeste have to follow her – in and out of the operating rooms.

There are some benefits – Celeste quite fancies getting up close and personal with Leo, Lulabelle’s handsome and enigmatic manager. If she could only forget about her other male addiction . . . .
