Blurb
The discovery of two old photographs, one of a large house, the other of three teenage girls in Edwardian dress, puzzles twenty-year-old Lucy Armitage and sends her off on a quest with antique dealer Ben Manton to find their origins. Because although she is sure it can have nothing to do with her, one of the girls in the photograph is uncannily like Lucy herself.

Carry On
Keeps the chaste slow burn and mystery-plus-ghosts puzzle, but swaps Edwardian photographs for a magical boarding school and a male-male pairing.
Mollie on the Shore
Same author's gentle, chaste Edwardian-era storytelling with a hidden-parentage secret at a grand house, though this one is darker and family cruelty drives it rather than a shared quest.
The buttercup fields
Same author's gentle rural historical romance with quiet heat; more family betrayal and saga sprawl, less detective-style hunt for a secret.
Kindred Spirits
Another chaste slow burn built on forced proximity and shared obsession, though it's a modern, very short, light-hearted read instead of a period mystery.
The People We meet On Vacation
Forced proximity and a long slow burn again, but contemporary, funnier, warmer, with on-page heat and a firm happy ending.
People We Meet On Vacation
Slow-burn forced proximity with the one-bed staple; modern travel romcom in Spanish, lighter in tone and noticeably spicier than the seed.
