I am a wife, mother of two boys, avid reader and writer of words. I sometimes sleep, always have eye bags and dream of retiring to a big white house in Cornwall, with 2 shaggy dogs, drinking wine on my seafront balcony whilst creating works of romantic fiction. All done with immaculate make up and floaty dresses.

In the meantime I nearly always remember to brush my hair, seldom have time to look in a mirror and write many, many to-do lists. I write fast paced sexy medical romances for Mills & Boon, and contemporary fiction and romantic comedies for HQ Digital and Boldwood Books. I always have a few books in progress, and am always jotting down new shiny ideas to torment myself with.

Nell Grey Valentine's Gift for You

The Strictly Business Proposal
The Strictly Business Proposal (Freshwater Bay Novel Series #1) by Nell Grey

This Valentine's weekend why not curl up and transport yourself to Freshwater Bay in Wales with The Strictly Business Proposal by Nell Grey. It's free on Amazon 13th-18th February.

Happy Reading!


Is Beth Barnes a beautiful con artist or the genuine friend of Evan Morgan, an elderly Welsh chef?
When Evan dies, he hands talented London chef Beth her big break. She has the chance to realise her dream and run her very own restaurant in a village on the wild Welsh Celtic coast. But there are strings attached. Can she comply and gain her inheritance, her dream?
Accused of being a gold digger by the family, Beth’s welcome to Wales is not quite as warm as she’d hoped for. Burned from a recent divorce, the last thing on architect Gareth Morgan’s mind is another wedding. If he wants to realise his development dreams, he must marry.It’s a strictly business proposal. But can Beth and Gareth really stick to the terms?


Rachel Thanks will have a look

Helen Mccabe Thanks, Rachel, for being my friend and for recommending various books. I hope you will try one or two of mine that are in print! Perhaps the Piper Trilogy including Piper (pub by Telos) and The Piercing, which is the 2nd book of the Trilogy or if you don't like horror/thrillers then The Price of Beautyor Chance Encounters (pub by Endeavour Press. All can be downloaded from the usual sources.
All the best,
Helen


Rachel no problem! Wish I had more hours in the day to read...
