Harriet Hunter is a young woman living in Wineglass Bay, Tasmania. She is headstrong and stubborn: the archetypical modern teenager enjoying her relatively mundane life. When she is sucked into a centuries old story halfway across the globe, she quickly learns that she is a peculiarity - a modern girl in a man's world. Harriet is catapulted into an epic, dramatic saga where her choices have the power to change history and save lives - or ruin them forever.
The classic Shakespearean love tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, is a tale of forbidden love, feuding families and tragic endings. Book One of the Into the Abyss series, Vault of Verona, demonstrates how just one decision can have a butterfly effect felt throughout time. Vault of Verona will excite the imaginations of readers, young and old, through complex characters, intriguing plot twists and incredible imagery.

As war rages, everyone has to do their bit...Bristol 1941 As the
clouds of war grow bleaker both at home and abroad, the Tobacco
Girls are determined to do their bit for King and Country. To that
end Maisie Miles and Bridget Milligan become voluntary ambulance
drivers. As well as coping with the frequent air raids, Maisie is
kept on her toes with three new junior employees one of whom is
particularly testing. Bridget's heart becomes torn between family
loyalty and American tobacco tycoon Lyndon O'Neill III, the man she
loves. Meanwhile Phyllis Harvey has joined the WAAF, opting to
serve overseas whilst trying to escape her past. Her letters home
are upbeat and her friends are initially envious of descriptions of
sunshine and blue sea. The truth she hides is that life on the
island of Malta is fraught with extreme food shortages, daily air
raids and the fear that tomorrow might never come. The future
appears far less certain as the reality of war bites into The
Tobacco Girls' lives. 'A gripping saga and a storyline that will
keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin, bestselling author. Praise for
Lizzie Lane: 'A gripping saga and a storyline that will keep you
hooked' Rosie Goodwin 'The Tobacco Girls is another heartwarming
tale of love and friendship and a must-read for all saga fans.'
Jean Fullerton 'Lizzie Lane opens the door to a past of factory
girls, redolent with life-affirming friendship, drama, and choices
that are as relevant today as they were then.' Catrin Collier 'If
you want an exciting, authentic historical saga then look no
further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J Miller

Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton is a firm believer in true love. He’d have to be an idiot not to be: all seven of his siblings are happily married. Gregory figures he is just biding his time until the right woman comes along. And so when he sees Hermione Watson, he knows with every fibre of his being, that she is meant to be his.
But through Hermione’s closest – and slightly less beautiful – friend, Lucy Abernathy, he finds out that Hermione is desperately in love with another man. Sadly, by the time Gregory figures out the right girl is actually the wrong girl, and the right girl was Lucy all along, it’s too late. Lucy is to marry another!
Now – on the way to the wedding – Gregory must figure out how to thwart the nuptials and convince Lucy that she was always meant to be his…
