Lovers Leap is available to pre-order!

If they looked, would they ever leap?

Good-looking, confident, and doted on by his widowed mum, Michael is used to thinking only of himself. Getting shoved off an Isle of Wight pier by an exasperated ex ought to come as a wake-up call—but then he meets Rufus and he’s right back to letting the little head take charge. Rufus is cute, keen, and gets under Michael’s skin in a disturbing way.

Would-be chef Rufus can’t believe his luck when a dripping wet dream of a man walks out of the sea on his birthday, especially when Michael ends up staying at the family B&B. Life is perfect—at least until Michael has to go home to the mainland.

Rufus can’t leave the island for reasons he’s entirely neglected to mention. And though Michael identifies as bi, breaking his mum’s heart by coming out and having an actual relationship with a guy has never been his plan. With both men determined to keep their secrets, a leap of faith could land them in deep water.

Due out from Riptide Publishing 29th February 2016 – leap day!

I love the idea of an Isle of Wight story, so have immediately jumped on this! What is it about 29th February which feels so special?!

Yay! I saw Pirates of Penzance at an impressionable age, so I've long been fascinated by leap years. ;)

Have you read Sue Brown's Isle of Wight series?

I put off reading the first one for ages in case it said anything critical of my beloved island (ironically, as my books have more than a few fond digs at it) but I needn't have worried.

And great to see you online again, m'dear! *hugs*
