Healing Heart Series
The Healing Heart Series is a collection of emotional contemporary romances about grief, healing, second chances, and finding love when life doesn't go according to plan.

Set against breathtaking backdrops and unforgettable adventures, each book follows characters learning that healing isn't about forgetting the past, it's about finding the strength to keep moving forward.
From luxury cruise ships sailing through endless blue waters to wilderness retreats hidden amongst nature, the Healing Heart Series explores the journeys that change us, the people who challenge us, and the love that finds us when we least expect it.

✨ Slow-burn romance

Contemporary Romance
Gabby believes you only get one great love.
Dean's built a life pretending love is a game and didn't really exist.
Gabriella Cunningham boards a luxury cruise with one goal: survive four weeks of sunshine, cocktails, and forced fun without letting anyone too close.
Her heart belongs to a man she lost and she’s learned the hard way what happens when you let yourself feel again.
Dean Matthews has mastered charm the way others master survival. Behind the bar or under the stars, his grin gets him what he wants, attention, tips, and the occasional warm body in his bed. Feelings? Those are for people who plan to stay. Then Gabby walks into his orbit. She doesn’t flirt. She doesn’t fall for his lines. And when she looks at him, it feels like she’s seeing through him, straight to the parts he’s spent years avoiding.
As the ship sails through endless blue, sparks ignite where they shouldn’t. Boundaries blur. Hearts falter. And one kiss changes everything. But some loves leave scars. Some truths arrive too late. And some journeys don’t end when the ship docks.
This contemporary romance is a slow-burn romance about grief, temptation, and the terrifying moment when you realise the heart doesn’t care about the rules you set to protect it. Sometimes, the most dangerous waters… are the ones you never meant to sail.
Title yet To be Revealed
Some people arrive in your life like a storm.
Others feel like sunshine. And then there are the people who quietly change everything.
The next book in the Healing Heart Series will follow a character readers first met in Uncharted Water, someone who lights up every room she enters, hides more behind her smile than most people realise, and has spent her life making sure everyone else is okay.
But what happens when the person who's alway holding everyone together starts to come apart?
Set against breathtaking scenery, unexpected adventures, laughter, friendship, and heart-stopping moments, this story will explore healing, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to stop running from the things that matter most.
Expect:
✨ Slow-burn romance
✨ Found family
✨ Forced proximity

✨ Adventure and self-discovery
✨ Plenty of laughter and chaos

Because sometimes the person who seems the happiest... is carrying the heaviest heart.
