Being grabbed off the street, blind folded, tied up and thrown into a van was not what Izzy expected to happen when she stepped out the door that morning. But when an accidental kidnapping at the hands of the sexy Ethan Chase and his 'Kidnap My Wife' sexual fantasy business leads to just that, Izzy seizes the chance to turn her misfortune into a brilliant new job opportunity…

Since then, life has been one big tangle of new client meetings, fake kidnapping pick-ups, and handling the temperamental, but drop dead gorgeous 'bad boy' Mr Chase. But, as liberating as being tied up in Ethan's life is, Izzy knows the time is fast approaching when she must make some decisions and take charge of her future. The only question is: will Ethan allow himself to be a part of it?

Escape to a little seaside village, where the sea sparkles and change is in the air. The perfect place to fall in love. Includes both bestselling books in this gorgeously romantic series, The Little Village of Happiness and The Gift of Happiness

Best friends, Willow McKay and Ruby Marlowe, need a fresh start. Desperate for a change, an advert offering free cottages in a picturesque village on the Cornish coast sounds like just what they need. Without thinking twice they pack up their lives and head to the pretty seaside village of Happiness.

But when they arrive, they find ramshackle cottages, shops lying empty and villagers that seem in need of cheer themselves. It's nothing like the pretty picture the advert had boasted. It seems Happiness was too good to be true. That is until they meet the handsome Harrington brothers.

Get swept away to the sun-kissed Cornish coast with these two gorgeous full length love stories, perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella and Katie Fforde.

Both books in the Happiness series were awarded a Kindle Unlimited All-Star badge by Amazon for being among the most popular books in Kindle Unlimited.
