Winner of the Romantic Novel of the Year Award 2008.
Childhood sweethearts meet seventeen years later and the spark is now adult. This is emotional, feel-good, warm stuff with the couple each having a past to sort out. Along the way I learned some interesting facts about the precious stone, tanzanite, and quite a bit about sleepwalking – an added bonus to a lovely read.
Comparison: Jane Green, Catherine Alliott, Carole Matthews.
RNA panel comment: "Petra is the girl we all dreamt of being and Arlo the man we all wanted to meet. Who doesn't wonder 'what if...' to the long lost first love?"

The sleepwalker.
By day, Petra Flint is a talented jeweller working in a lively London studio. By night, she sleepwalks.
She has 40 carats of the world's rarest gemstone under her mattress but it's the skeletons in her closet that make it difficult for her to rest.
The insomniac.
At one time a promising song-writer, Arlo Savidge now teaches music at a boys' boarding school in North Yorkshire. He assumes he's happy with his isolated lifestyle. But, like Petra, ghosts from his past disturb his sleep.
Putting the past to bed.
Petra and Arlo loved each other from afar during their schooldays. Now, seventeen years later, in a tiny sweetshop one rainy day, they stand before each other once more. Could this be their second chance?
