A Tale of Tea and Dragons – Lulmouth Bay Book 1
When they meet, sparks fly!
Welcome to Lulmouth Bay, a seaside town with a difference…
Enchanter Hannah brews magical teas which make the tearoom she inherited a success. Yet she’s trapped in her grandmother’s vision, and longs to be more than friends with the man she’s loved since school.
Tea and spice merchant Max has learnt to hide his powers, coming from a place where magic is a forbidden secret. And after a failed romance with a fellow Enchanter, he’s only looking for fun.
It’s dislike at first sight, but the stakes are high.
A business partnership with Hannah could be Max’s ticket to happiness in Lulmouth – but is she a clumsy dreamer who won’t commit?
Max’s vision and ideas could be Hannah’s escape from the demands of the tearoom – but is he a chancer on the make?
Both feel a spark – but is it real?
Then a commission for a love potion puts them both to the test. It provides the startup funds they need – but it means the end of Hannah’s hopes for her first love and it uses illegal dragon-egg dust.
Can Hannah and Max trust each other? And should they?
A Tale of Tea and Dragons is the first book in the Lulmouth Bay fantasy romcom series.
A Tale of Sea and Sirens – Lulmouth Bay Book 2
Opposites attract – or do they?
Merwoman Shirena has no intention of letting any man get the better of her – though that doesn’t stop her having fun. But when she saves a young girl from drowning, she has no idea what’s in store.
Widower Ben’s just moved to the magical seaside town of Lulmouth Bay. His daughter’s magical skills are blossoming, to the point of danger. Ben hopes the training at Lulmouth will help Gracie control her magic, because he can’t. But fitting it around his IT job is proving difficult.
Shirena’s looking for a side hustle, since her family’s boat tour business earns just enough to keep them. Soon, she’s acting as Gracie’s childminder and swimming coach to get herself some fun money.
Shirena’s skills and confidence unnerve Ben. Ben’s job and seriousness bore Shirena. Yet as they get to know each other, they become friends.
Then a crisis leaves Shirena in charge of the family business, which is failing fast, and Ben offers to help. Their closeness sparks new feelings – but will they survive the pressure?
Can a merwoman and a computer whiz find their sweet spot?

A Tale of Sea and Sirens – Lulmouth Bay Book 2
Second time lucky?
Bookshop owner Susan doesn’t need a man to be happy – been there, done that.
But despite her contented life in magical Lulmouth Bay, is something missing? Or is she just worried about the bookshop’s odd behaviour?
Thirty years ago, factory manager Caspar left Lulmouth behind after Susan decided to travel the world without him. But when his boss tasks him with moving the business there, revisiting old haunts reminds him of the magical skills he’s neglected for so long – and that lost youthful romance.
Susan thinks Caspar’s too sensible. Caspar thinks Susan’s too flighty. But she can give him business advice and he might be able to sort out her shop. And of course they can just be friends – or can they?
As the bookshop becomes increasingly erratic and an unexpected dragon complicates matters, feelings run high. Were Susan and Caspar right to part all those years ago? Or can they make love work second time around?
A Tale of Books and Potions is the third book in the Lulmouth Bay fantasy romcom series.
