Overview
The beautiful beaches of Brittany and Normandy were a focus of frantic activity throughout the Second World War. Thousands of men landed on them, died on them, and were rescued from them. For some men their escape was delayed, a terrifying time where every villager's moves came under watchful German eyes. A few of the men had to wait a little longer for a boat to take them home...A few of them are still waiting.
Being asked to accompany her best friend on her first holiday in years is exactly what Joanna needs. Having her best friend's incredibly handsome brother unexpectedly join them in the idyllic holiday cottage is not.
Tall, athletic and fabulously successful, sports writer and celebrity interviewer Dominic Winter is every woman's dream man. Unfortunately to Joanna her best friend's brother is also arrogant, antagonistic and spectacularly argumentative but much to her annoyance, he has been the highlight of her dreams ever since they were all together at school six years previously.
The tiny fishing village of Prajou holds many secrets of the past but while suspicion and whispers echo their way through the passages of time can Joanna and Dominic call a truce in their never ending battle of wills? It's time to stop just smelling the aroma of freshly baked French bread and discover the delicious scent of romance in the air.
Echo Beach is an easy read romance suitable for young adult and above. (Contains mild bad language and some sensual passion)

About the Author
I was born in Essex England during the mid sixties but I missed all the fun. Being only young I assumed that all Beatles were six legged creatures and Flower Power was something to do with the vigorous way my mother kneaded the bread dough.
My wonderful parents brought me up with a huge love of books. We read anything and everything. Bedtime stories were a treasured time of adventure and mystery. My sister and I sat wide eyed in wonder and to this day I worry about Dinah and Dorinda being pricked with pins because they grew so fat, and I never pull faces at the a waning moon (or was it a waxing one?) just in case my chops stay that way . (The Wind On The Moon)
I began reading romance while still at school. The fuel for many a teenage fantasy leapt from between the covers of wildly romantic books and my passion still lingers now for all those dark haired heroes.
My own beautiful teenage daughter persuaded me to write my first romance. She was only fourteen at the time and between books for children and adults. She couldn't find anything that ticked all her numerous and particular boxes and so she asked me to write a book, with all the exact ingredients just for her. Though not just a book for teens, she enjoyed the resulting tale so much that she shared it with her friends and I eventually published A Perfect Summer as an ebook on amazon.
But I have discovered that writing is not easily stopped once you start. It has turned into a grand passion that I just cannot hold back. The fingertips start tapping the keys and ideas suddenly come flooding, far too many for just one book and so I began another and then another. Nine books later I am still nowhere near done. Book ten is on its way and only just the other night I woke from a wild and wonderful dream with book eleven fully formed in my head.
Romance will always be my first love but recently I was so influenced by a tiny polished plaque on a sea wall that I gave paranormal romance a try. (Echo Beach) Mixing the two genres was a real challenge for me but I was delighted with the result. Historical romance is going to be my next genre. All those fabulously titled and passionate men are impossibly hard to resist.
I hope you enjoy all of my efforts and I look forward to your comments and reviews.
