Holding Paradise

A family shaken by truth — and a journey that changes everything.

Angelica Ford has built her life on hard work, family, and the belief that her world is unbreakable. But when a hidden truth comes to light, the foundations of her life begin to crumble — a daughter she no longer recognises, and a husband she no longer trusts.

With her family fractured and her future uncertain, Angelica travels to the Caribbean to seek guidance from her mother, Josephine. Josephine has weathered her own storms, and the story she shares now forces Angelica to confront the past, question everything she believed, and decide how far she’s willing to go to hold her family together.

Holding Paradise is a compelling, multi‑generational drama about the cost of truth, the strength of women, and the healing power of the stories we inherit. The first instalment in the Island Secrets Series.

A Prayer For Junie

A death shakes the village — a disappearance haunts it.

Philomena has feared Gregory since childhood — long before Junie ever arrived on the plain. When he vanishes after his mother’s death and returns years later with Junie as his new bride, Philomena is too afraid to reveal the dark secret she uncovered about him.

Junie is bright, hopeful, and determined to build a life. But as Gregory’s temper tightens around their isolated home, Philomena watches that hope fade — and becomes the only person Junie can trust. Their bond deepens, and Philomena’s plan to leave for New York turns into a desperate search for a way to save her friend.

Then the questions begin — a death on the plain, a disappearance that unsettles the village, and Philomena carrying the real answers alone.

A Prayer for Junie is a haunting novel of friendship, fear and the secrets women carry. The second instalment in the Island Secrets Series.

The Long Way Home

A stolen locket. A buried past. A girl caught between two worlds.

On the island of Dominica in 1889, Rose enters the world already marked by loss. Abandoned at birth, raised by an adoptive family, and never fully accepted by either side of her mixed heritage, she longs for belonging, for truth, for a place to call her own.

 

When she meets Raphael, a young sailor with dreams bigger than his circumstances, Rose feels her world begin to open. But nature has its own plans, and a violent hurricane scatters everything she hoped for.

Working for the wealthy widow Elise La Fleur brings Rose comfort and purpose — until Elise’s beloved locket disappears and Rose is blamed, stripped of the life she had begun to build.

As Rose searches for answers about her birth, long‑hidden truths begin to surface — truths that tie her to the locket, to the family she never knew, and to the future she never expected.

The Long Way Home is a powerful story of identity, first love, and the secrets that shape generations. The third instalment in the Island Secrets Series.

But Rayna’s past is a fault line running beneath everything she has achieved. As her voice gains attention and her future brightens, the secrets she has buried begin to crack open.

 

Can she protect the life she’s built, or will revealing her past be the only way to save her future?
