Amelia
Amelia loves her life in York, the city she moved to as a student. She has a great job at the university she studied at, a lovely attic flat in an ancient house and an adorable cat called Albert.
The only thing lacking, is a man in her life – according to her best friend, Courtney. But Amelia is not so sure, and after several first dates, hasn’t found anyone she’d like a second date with.
And then she met Theo.
Theo ticks all the boxes, and he seems just as keen as she is, but he comes with a package – an overbearing mother and a possessive daughter. How can Amelia compete with them for his attention?
Set in historic York and rural Bridport, Amelia is the second book in the Love Comes Knocking When You Least Expect It collection. A perfect read for lovers of romance.

About the author
Anita Griffiths
8 books8 followersBorn in London to a Swedish mother and English father, Anita spent her childhood moving between the two countries. She met her husband when she was eighteen and they laid down roots in sunny Dorset to raise their four children. Anita is proud to be a ‘vintage veggie’; she and her husband gave up meat and dairy over thirty years ago, and raised their family with the same ethics.
With the children now grown and flying the nest, and the family expanding, Anita divides her time between tracing her ancestral roots across Ireland, England and Scandinavia, and writing in her nature filled garden with her cats.
She draws on her own experiences and those of her family and friends for character inspiration and plot lines. She focuses on the ‘what ifs’ in life; on the decisions made in haste or under duress, that have far-reaching consequences down the line. An avid genealogist, she incorporates ancestors names in all of her stories as a nod to their memory.
‘One of my earliest memories is of my great gran reciting poems to me, encouraging me to memorise them, long before I was a confident reader. My uncle would give me book vouchers each Christmas; the joy of perusing the bookstore to choose my own books was immense. My favourite books as a child were the Paddington books, My Naughty Little Sister, the Narnia books and anything by Enid Blyton. The first ‘grown up’ book I read, aged seven, was The Three Musketeers, followed by Little Dorrit, and so a love of the classics was born. I love reading a wide range of books but to this day, Jane Eyre still remains my favourite book, closely followed by Pride & Prejudice, and Jane Austen my favourite author.’
Anita is a massive music fan and compiles playlists on Spotify as writing inspiration for each of her books. Her other loves are reading, theatre, film, gardening and hiking. She hoards far too much tatt (but only of sentimental value!), collects beautiful books and more recently, David Austin roses.

Another perfect cosy romance!! 💖
The ideal book to read in the evening while winding down for the day - The description of each city and the characters within truly brings it to life without being over descriptive, leaving just enough up to the imagination!
Loving the ‘love comes knocking’ series
I’d love a sequel!
