"Hannah is miserable. Her love life is in ruins, her contract demands a sequel to her bestselling crime debut – and she's out of ideas. After a mortifying TV interview, her agent ships her off to a sun-drenched Sicilian villa with a simple order: finish the book. No distractions. No excuses. But inspiration doesn't strike – murder does. When a night out ends in murder, Hannah finds herself at the centre of a murder investigation … again. The police want her out of the way, and the only person who seems to believe her is a young but charming Italian police officer. That is, until she doesn't. Soon Hannah is chasing suspects, fleeing crime scenes, and doing whatever it takes to avoid becoming the next victim. She came to write a crime novel. Now she's trapped inside one. Dark, sly and deliciously atmospheric, Under the Blazing Sun is the second novel in the award-winning series featuring accidental sleuth and disgruntled literary author Hannah, whose pursuit of plot twists keeps turning dangerously real."
"Life in Little Shaw is as nice as pie for librarian Ginny Cole. She's got a tentative truce with her grumpy neighbor Detective Inspector Wallace, and Sunday quiz nights at The Lost Goat with her friends (team name: The Merry Widows). Until the young quizmaster is found dead in the cellar. The police call it an accident; Ginny suspects murder. But with Wallace strangely impossible to locate and convince, she and the other widows must step - carefully, mind - into the breach.
The victim, it turns out, wasn't just torturing locals with impossible trivia. He was hunting for his great-aunt who vanished from Little Shaw in 1963, along with what village gossips insist was a fortune in Cold War secrets. Now Ginny and her friends must decode a sixty-year-old mystery involving priest holes, spy scandals, and the competing egos of the local history society.
But when the killer strikes again, the widows need to solve this fast before someone calls last orders on them...
A brilliantly twisty cozy mystery perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Robert Thorogood and anyone who thinks retirement should come with a side of solving murders.

There were lots of twists and turns and the mystery kept me guessing right to the end... Highly recommended!' Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"At Beltane, fire is magic. But some fires burn out of control.
White Haven is celebrating the Beltane festival when a creature of smoke, shadow and searing flame emerges from the fires with a single ambition — to claim the dragon eggs hidden in Ravens' Wood and reshape the world.
But that's not what's consuming Avery's thoughts.
Armed with an ancient spell from the family grimoire, Avery summons her mother and sister back to White Haven. She wants answers after years of silence. What she gets is complicated — especially when Helena is involved. Some family reunions are warm. This one runs considerably hotter.
As the witches hunt a deadly fire elemental across Cornwall, El discovers an unexpected ally — a salamander born of elemental fire, awakening magic in her she never knew she possessed.
Shapeshifting therians, a creature that cannot be reasoned with, and a wood with a mind of its own converge in a battle with far reaching consequences. And at the heart of it all, Avery must face the family wounds that no spell can heal.
Some fires can't be controlled. Some silences can't be broken without cost. And when you summon what's been missing from your life, you might not like what arrives.
Book fourteen in the White Haven Witches series — a paranormal mystery set in Cornwall, England, with authentic witchcraft, elemental fire magic, family secrets, and a 16th century witch who refuses to stay in the past.
The fires are rising. Buy now."
"In White Haven, the greatest threats don't always come from outside.
At Beltane, ancient magic floods the town and desire becomes dangerous. Something is at the heart of the chaos, and someone has been pulling strings all along. Relationships fracture. Trust breaks. And the answer to who is responsible is closer to home than anyone anticipated.
At Midsummer, smuggler's gold surfaces after centuries, unleashing the Spriggans — ancient Cornish creatures as dangerous as they are unpredictable. The witches need the Cornwall Coven, but not everyone is willing to help.
Then the Cornwall Coven's own treachery is revealed, and the witches don't know who to trust. As Litha approaches, celestial magic and calculated betrayal converge in a showdown that changes everything.
Three complete stories. A world where the enemies keep getting closer.
Books 7–9 of the White Haven Witches series — paranormal mystery set in Cornwall, England, with authentic witchcraft, ancient Cornish folklore, shattering betrayals, and a magical world that keeps getting darker.
Nothing is as it seems. Buy now."
"Some treasure hunts end with riches. These end with something far more dangerous.
Shadow is a fey warrior stranded in the wrong world, with a sword, a horse, and absolutely no patience for mortals. Gabe is one of seven Nephilim — part-angel warriors with millennia of the spirit realm behind them and a violent history they can't outrun. Together, they're exactly the kind of hunters that Harlan Beckett needs for The Orphic Guild's most dangerous jobs.
Three missions. Three chances to walk away clean.
They don't.
A sealed tomb that should have stayed sealed. An ancient trinity of objects that could open a doorway to angels — and one Nephilim's long-lost father. A stolen astrolabe built to reveal a hidden treasure, now in the hands of an enemy with a deadline written in the stars.
With each job, the occult world grows darker, the enemies more ruthless, and the stakes more personal. Shadow and Gabe are learning fast that in this world, the real danger is never what you were hired to find.
The first three books in the White Haven Hunters urban fantasy series — razor-sharp banter, relentless action, and occult treasure hunting that will cost far more than anyone bargained for."
"In White Haven every season brings new magic. And new enemies.
As the wheel of the year turns, the White Haven witches find themselves facing threats on every front.
At Samhain, a shifter family arrives desperate and hunted, and their pursuers aren't far behind. A mysterious witch is working dark magic at Old Haven Church, and an old enemy makes an unexpected offer of help. Can Caspian Faversham ever truly be trusted?
As winter closes in, vampires stalk the streets of Cornwall, and the House of Spirits hides secrets darker than anyone anticipated. Then the Crossroads Circus arrives, bringing myths to life and death in its wake. An encounter leaves Avery bound to a power she can't control, and the witches must seek allies in the most unlikely of places.
Through it all, the Witches Council watches. Thirteen covens spread across Cornwall, and not all of them are friendly.
Three complete stories. A world growing darker and more complex with every turn.
Books 4–6 of the White Haven Witches series — paranormal mystery set in Cornwall, England, with authentic witchcraft, wolf shifters, slow-burn romance, and alliances that cost more than anyone expected.

"Welcome to White Haven — where the magic is real, and the secrets run deeper than anyone imagined.
White Haven is no ordinary Cornish town. Five witches. Five families. Five grimoires hidden for centuries, and someone who wants them badly enough to kill.
When Avery and the other witches begin to uncover the truth about their heritage, they set in motion a chain of events that will shake White Haven to its foundations. Ancient enemies emerge. A traitor lurks within their circle. And as the grimoires are found one by one, the danger only grows.
But the threats don't stop there. Something escaped from the spirit world during their darkest battle, and it has no intention of leaving. And when mermaids rise from the deep, beautiful, deadly, and hunting, the witches realise their world is far stranger and more dangerous than they ever knew.
Three complete stories. One world just beginning to reveal itself.
Books 1–3 of the White Haven Witches series — paranormal mystery set in Cornwall, England, with authentic witchcraft, slow-burn romance, and dark secrets that refuse to stay buried.

"Welcome to White Haven — where the witches keep their secrets buried.
Avery is a witch who prefers to work alone — no coven politics, just her magic, her grimoires, and her bookshop in the Cornish town of White Haven. But when a dying customer leaves her a rune-covered box and a letter that rewrites the history of the town's five witch families, her carefully ordered life falls apart.
Ancient grimoires are hidden somewhere in White Haven. Their pages hold a secret someone has spent generations protecting — and now that Avery is looking, the demons are coming.
She's not the type to walk away from a mystery. And when Alex Bonneville, the most irritating witch she knows, arrives with the same dark tarot warning, she can't shut him out either. Especially when the danger turns personal.
As dark magic and demons descend on White Haven, five witches must confront a buried history that threatens everything — and everyone — they love.
Buried Magic is the first book in the White Haven Witches series — a paranormal mystery set in Cornwall, England, featuring authentic witchcraft, slow-burn romance, and the kind of dark secrets that small towns keep best. Perfect for fans of Deborah Harkness, Patricia Briggs, and cosy paranormal fantasy with real teeth.

"An ancient tomb. A client who can't get past the magic sealing it. A fortune waiting on the other side.
Shadow and Gabe have faced worse odds. She's a fey warrior with centuries of battle behind her, he's one of seven Nephilim, part-angel warriors with a violent history and millennia trapped in the spirit realm behind them.
When collector Harlan Beckett comes to them with a job — a sealed tomb, a client with deep pockets, and treasure no one else can reach — Shadow and Gabe take it. They're hunters. It's what they do.
But the magic sealing that tomb was put there for a reason.
Inside, something has been waiting. And it's been waiting a very long time.
The first book in the White Haven Hunters series launches with all the action, dark mythology, and razor-sharp wit that fans of White Haven Witches have been asking for — turned up louder, and considerably more dangerous."
