Book One
Christmas Romance Novella - the first of a series set in the small town of Green Leaf. Sometimes in order to move forward, you must first confront the past, as Aurora is about to discover. Separated from her famous husband and about to have his baby, she returns home to Green Leaf. Immediately clashing with Mum, Catherine (owner of the Leaves of Change Café), Aurora begins to wonder if she’s made a mistake. Her financial situation means they are stuck with each other. A secret between them resurfaces. Maybe, if her mum will finally tell her the truth, they can patch up their relationship?
Bumping into her teenage boyfriend, Michael stirs up some unsettling memories for Aurora. Worse still, he's now running the bookshop next door to the café. They become friends, but is there hope of the pair rekindling their romance? Old friend Rachel reminds her of the girl she used to be and offers her some sage advice. What about her estranged husband, Nick? Will he ruin everything when he shows up? Or will Aurora be able to turn over a new leaf and make a fresh start once and for all?
Book Two

A return to acting sounds promising for her but is it worth moving away from everyone for? Can Michael offer an explanation for his behaviour and stop her from leaving?
Meanwhile the lives of those around Aurora begin to fall apart. When her mum's partner Colin becomes ill, her mum, Catherine makes a decision about her future. No-one, especially Aurora saw that coming...
