THE PRIVATE ISLAND

New Year's Eve, Loloma Island, Fiji. At one of the most exclusive island resorts in the Pacific ocean, the champagne is poured, the fireworks ready and the countdown to new year is just beginning. It's set to be a night that no one will forget - especially when a body washes up on the shore. But it's impossible to find answers when everyone has a motive.

The billionaire's daughter, hungry for her inheritance.
The start-up founder, out of money, and out of time.
The young dive instructor, in over his head and struggling to stay afloat.
The husband, blinded by desire, in all the wrong ways.
And the lover, hidden in the shadows.

One person's holiday of a lifetime is about to be the last they'll ever have.

When @annefreemanwrites says something amusing (slash smutty) and then immediately acts like a pro in front of the camera…! A fun author collective at the launch of @camillebookerauthor’s The Woman In The Waves at @harryhartog.miranda la
Birthday din dins to celebrate the man who does not age! Which is surprising considering he has a demanding wife, a feisty daughter, one teenager and an energetic seven year-old to contend with. Not to mention two bulimic cats and a boisterous Labrad
I always love chatting to the lovely @victoriacarthew, although she totally showed me up in this video with her amazing island-themed backdrop and exotic mocktail! I was sitting in front of a very boring white wall 😬 Still, the chat was fab. Thanks
The Private Island tour continued at @avaloncommunitylibrary last night. I love speaking at Avalon - I did my first ever ‘in-conversation’ for The Trivia Night there in 2022 with @joanna_nell_writer, so it holds a special place in my hear
