New book release: An Innocent Abroad

An Innocent Abroad, my third historical novella under the name Rae Summers, went on sale last week and is now available at all major online retailers.

If you're in South Africa and looking for something summery to read (or even in the northern hemisphere and desperately needing some sunshine) then this is the book for you!

Set on the Amalfi coast of Italy in the early 1920s, this is a gentle coming of age story.

Fresh from finishing school, Isobel Harrington is sent to spend the summer in Italy with distant cousins in order to catch the eye of the eligible Hon. Christopher Barrett.

But rather than Christopher, it is enigmatic Italian Stefano who awakens Isobel's sensuality, and who introduces her to the daring new idea that anything is possible, if only you want it enough.

An Innocent Abroad is available from The Wild Rose Press, Barnes & Noble, All Romance eBooks, Amazon and Amazon UK.

About Dear Julia

Dear Julia is set in the English countryside in the early 1920s, and is part of the Love Letters series from The Wild Rose Press.

Read the opening extract here.

The discovery of a long-lost love letter in a house she’s redecorating sends Rosalie Stanton on a quest to find its rightful owner.

Since his return from the Great War, William Cavendish has lived as a recluse. His peaceful existence is shattered by the return of the letter that once held all his hopes — and by its bearer, the irrepressible Rosalie, who bears an uncanny resemblance to his lost love.

As Rosalie sets out to lure William back into society, she realises that in him she might just have met her match.

Dear Julia is on sale through Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble, All Romance eBooks, and direct from the publisher, The Wild Rose Press.
