A long time ago, Joel Wentworth told me he’d love me for infinity . . . and I can’t give up hope that it might have been true.

How long does it take to get over your first love?

Eight years should be long enough. My mind knows that, but there’s no convincing my heart.

Guys like Joel weren't supposed to fall for girls like me. He had his pick of women at University, but somehow the laws of nature were defied and we fell crazy in love.

After graduation, Joel left to pursue his career in New York. He wanted me to go with him but my life was in London.

We broke up and my heart split in two.

I haven’t seen or spoken to him since he left.

If only I’d known that I’d love him this long, this painfully, this desperately. I might have said yes all those years ago. He might have been mine all this time in between.

Now, he’s moving back to London and I need to get over him before he gets over here.

But how do you forget someone who gave you so much to remember?

Hopeful is a stand alone, sexy contemporary romance.

"It was amazing. The author has a way of pulling you in from the very beginning. It was hard for me to put it down to go to bed." Summer's Book Blog

"My heart was irrevocably stolen....more like willingly thrown at Joel's devilishly handsome feet. I thoroughly enjoyed this book not solely because of Joel, but also the storyline and the emotions that were successfully forced out of me." Page Turning Book Junkie

"This is a story that pulls at your heart all the way through. I was so taken by this book I couldn’t put it down." Eye Candy Bookstore
