Hurrah! Less than 2 weeks to go now until Caught!, the first of my novels in The Shamwell Tales, is released, and if you’d like to catch yourself a free copy (see what I did there?) then hie thee hence to Stumbling Over Chaos, where the lovely Chris is running a draw. All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is to comment on the giveaway post. Good luck!

And to whet your appetite, here be the blurb:

You can run from the past…but the past runs faster

Behind Robert’s cheerfully eccentric exterior lies a young heart battered and bruised by his past. He’s taken a job teaching in a village primary school to make a fresh start, and love isn’t part of his plans. But he’s knocked for six—literally—by a chance encounter with the uncle of two of his pupils.

Sean works in pest control, rides a motorbike, and lives on a council estate. On the face of it, he shouldn’t have anything in common with Robert’s bow-tie, classic-car style and posh family background. Yet Robert is helpless to resist Sean’s roguish grin, and a rocky, excruciatingly embarrassing start doesn’t keep the sparks between them from flaring.

Despite Robert’s increasingly ludicrous attempts to keep his past where it belongs, his past hasn’t read the memo. And soon his secrets could be the very things that drive Sean away for good…

Warning: contains the alarming misadventures of a pest control technician, a stepsister with a truly unfortunate name, and a young man who may have more bow ties than sense.

Due out from Samhain Publishing 19th August 2014
