A sexy older man, younger woman romance…
Age and wealth are just numbers, right?
Twenty-four year old Claudia has always been the sensible one. From her boring call centre job right down to her practical wardrobe; flash and extravagant are not part of her normal vocabulary. She may live in Ascot, the home of British horse racing, but the presence of all the moneyed revellers blocking her route home from work are more of a nuisance than a thrill. Until one of them catches her eye…
Peter’s life couldn’t be more different. All his life he’s worked hard to make it in the banking industry, to give his wife all she’s ever wanted. After a day of sipping champagne and watching the races, an indiscretion of hers with Peter’s colleague changes this picture-perfect vision of middle class life forever. He decides to cut and run, only, he hasn’t a clue where he’s going.
A chance meeting by the side of the road brings them together, making them forget their opposing backgrounds. Is passion alone enough to overcome their differences?
Chance Encounters is a series of stand-alone novellas set in jolly old England, following a set of loosely connected people as they find love in unexpected places. Can love conquer all, from class differences to age gaps? Read on and find out.

I loved this book! It’s sweet but modern in a way too.
That part is harder to explain but Claudia makes me think of a modern day single woman. She has a driven personality, owns her sexual desires and is comfortable in her own skin.
On the opposite is Peter who has spent years trying to be good enough for his wife. When he finds her “with” his best friend and co-worker his world crumbles. But not necessarily because of them….more because he’s spent so much time trying to please everyone. Everyone but himself.
A chance encounter with Claudia is exactly what he needs. She’s not anything like the people he’s surrounded himself with. She cares nothing about money or lifestyle. She is who she is and she makes no apologies for it.
I loved the story of this book. I love this author too. She has a different way with telling a story that is so interesting and her characters are so different and complex.
Very Highly Recommend!!!
Call me “H.” or Hedonist if you prefer. I’m a Romance writer based in London and I’ve always been a dreamer, though it didn’t occur to me to write down the stories I kept dreaming up until 2012. You’ll not find flowery language and poetry in my work. What you will find though is believable characters, none of whom perfect, going through life and trying to find happiness. Just like the rest of us.
I first started writing because I craved to see more of “my kind of books” on the shelves. In any scenario, you’ll find me rooting for the underdog. The (emotionally) scarred hero who hasn’t really had much (or any) luck in love. The shy office worker who wants to pursue the man of her dreams, but hasn’t quite mustered the courage yet. All my characters are beautifully flawed and messed up, in a way that makes them perfect for one another.
