Welcome to Skimmerdale
In Skimmerdale, the only thing more unpredictable than the weather is the woman who just arrived at the gate
My second series, set in the stunning Yorkshire Dales, in a fictional version of Swaledale.
Take a trip to Upper Skimmerdale in the glorious Yorkshire Dales, where Eden is caught in a honey trap, Eliot is having the wool pulled over his eyes, Emerald is planning the wedding from hell – and it’s not her own – and Cain just wants his knighthood!
Meet gorgeous sheep farmer Eliot Harland. He lives a quiet life on Wildflower Farm, taking care of his three young children alone, since the death of his wife. It’s a simple life, and that’s the way he likes it. But then a young woman arrives at his home, the spoilt princess daughter of ageing rock star, Cain Carmichael. She brings with her all the baggage of her crazy family – and a very big secret. Life in Skimmerdale will never be the same again …
The Skimmerdale series is full of humour, family drama, tender romance and friendship. They should be read in order as the stories follow on from each other. Also available as a Kindle boxset: The Skimmerdale Collection.
COMPLETED SERIES
Book 1 ~Summer Secrets at Wildflower Farm
A lot can happen during one summer in Skimmerdale.
When Eden Robinson takes a job working for 1970s rock god, Cain Carmichael, she has no idea it will lead to her travelling to the Yorkshire Dales, to take care of the three children of farmer, Eliot Harland. Nor could she imagine she’d be living under an assumed name – that of Cain’s wild child daughter, Honey.
A fish out of water, Eden struggles to cope with life in the country, which seems to revolve around sheep, ponies, and the vicar’s wife’s domination of the cake tent at the local show. All the while dealing with a jealous family friend and a charming blackmailer.
But when Eden falls for widower Eliot, things get even more complicated. The man she loves has no idea who she really is, and with the entire charade in danger of collapsing, it’s possible she’s left it too late to tell him.
Can she escape the Honey trap in time, or will this sheep farmer realise he’s had the wool pulled over his eyes?

Book 2 ~ Summer Wedding at Wildflower Farm
How do you plan a dream wedding for a woman you loathe?
Emerald, the almost-forgotten middle daughter of 1970s rock god, Cain Carmichael, wants one thing: to run a new age retreat. Unfortunately, there’s not much chance of that since she hasn’t got a penny of her own. But when her father humiliates her at her sister Honey’s wedding, she decides it’s time he paid his dues. One thing’s for sure – she’s never going to let him ignore her again.
A desperate Cain strikes a bargain. He’ll set her up in business if she organises a dream wedding for his former employee, Eden Robinson. Emerald despises Eden, the woman she perceives has taken her place in her father’s affections. Not only that, but Eden is marrying the gorgeous Eliot Harland, the only man who Emerald has felt any attraction to for years.
If she organises the wedding, Eden has won. But if she doesn’t, she’ll lose her only chance to own a retreat.
Emerald must decide which matters most, her future or revenge.
But as the summer on Wildflower Farm works its magic, she begins to realise there’s something she wants even more…
