The day JENNIFER said 'I do,' she never agreed to become a human punch bag to her violent husband George. Will she find the strength to leave him and succumb to the charms of her sexy new admirer?

Yummy mummy CATHY is from a lavishly wealthy home, but she is hiding a dark secret. Her mother is a secret drinker and her recently-deceased father had a secret of his own. Can she put a brave face on what goes on behind the closed doors of her magnificent Kinsale home?


Lottery winner TINA should be celebrating but something is holding her back. Will the enormous win change her life? Can it buy her son a coveted place on the local soccer team? And is her beloved husband Ray falling for the charms of glamorous single mum, Cathy?

Three Irish women. Three different lives. And the men who broke their hearts.

Can love and friendship survive the test of time?

My Debut Novel, Love Match, one of my proudest moments to date!

Completing a work of fiction is a terrific personal achievement but seeing it in print and on the shelves in your favourite book shop is the ultimate dream!
