One Golden Summer

A sweet and wholesome romance of second chances, secrets and sunlit love in the French countryside.

When fate whispers of second chances, Angelina Fisk finds herself swept away to the sun-drenched hills of France

Angelina Fisk is accustomed to proving herself in a male-dominated workplace. Still, when false accusations result in wrongful dismissal, she's left wondering how she'll ever find work again or cope with her growing cynicism toward men.

With unexpected time on her hands, Angelina takes her sister's place on holiday in France. Trouble is, she's going as a chaperone. A younger cousin believes herself madly in love with the handsome billionaire Julien Belliveau and has charmed two invitations to his chateau in Provence.

While an attentive host, Julien appears polite but inscrutable. Yet, clearly, he hides a dark secret. Sparks fly as Angelina determines to unravel the mystery while battling her own deepening attraction to this man she distrusts.

As the golden summer sun weaves its way into her heart, Angelina finds she cares for more than just the beautiful French countryside. But when disaster strikes and lives are at risk, only she can save the day. Will it be enough?

Thankfully, in the beautiful south of France, dreams really do come true.

One Golden Summer is the first book in the Chateau de Belliveau romance series. A sweet and uplifting romance that will transport you to the golden French countryside.

I specialize in crafting delightful tales of sweet, destination romance and epic fantasy. My days are also filled with educating young minds and navigating the open roads, as I carry a license to drive anything on wheels (with or without my signature stilettoes and lipstick).

I grew up and still reside on the family farm near Marshall, Saskatchewan, Canada. We raise Charolais cattle and gophers (the latter being purely coincidental and highly unappreciated). Though I love the Canadian countryside, my passions lie in exploring new destinations and writing. That’s why you’ll find enchanting locations woven through my work.

Each romance is set in an exotic location we all would love to visit. This allows my readers to journey alongside relatable characters as their ordinary lives transform into extraordinary adventures. With twists and turns along the way, there’s never a dull moment—but always a happy ending.

I also delve into the realm of fantasy. From the time I was a child (hundreds of years ago), I’ve been enamoured with magical worlds and fantastical creatures. There was nothing so wonderful as to flee my mundane life and find myself in Middle Earth or Narnia, transported into other worlds. This translated into a lifelong dream to write those same sorts of tales.

Thankfully, it came true.

My home is shared with three feline friends, because no self-respecting author can go without at least one. I take great pride in my four children who are making their own mark on the world. When not lost in the pages of a book or tapping away at another novel, you can find me shoveling endless amounts of snow, creating decadent desserts, or strumming my guitar and singing folk songs (not necessarily in that order, since shovelling does tend to work off a large caloric intake).

With each new book I write, you are invited to step into my world and embark upon a new adventure. And don’t be surprised if you spot me feverishly tapping out another novel. It’s just the magic of storytelling taking hold once again…

Happy reading!
