Ladder to the Stars 
A Heart-Warming, Contemporary Romance About Love, Healing and New Beginnings
When life falls apart, sometimes you have to climb higher
After being made redundant from her job as a solicitor, Bell (yes, that is the correct spelling) returns to her first love — painting.
While walking in the woods, she stumbles across a ladder leaning against a tree. Curious, she climbs it and paints the breathtaking view she finds at the top.
That single painting will change her life forever.
A chance meeting. A hidden place. A connection neither expected.
Luke is still recovering from a messy divorce when he climbs the same ladder — only to find Bell sitting in his secret spot: a makeshift bench high in the branches.
The spark between them is instant, powerful, and impossible to ignore.
But is Luke really who he says he is?
Two guarded hearts. One unexpected love story.
Both Bell and Luke are carrying pasts they’d rather not share (don’t we all?).
Through a shared love of art, community, and good food, they begin to open up — not just to each other, but to the lives they truly want.
What follows is a journey filled with:
- fall-outs and make-ups
- shared secrets
- creative dreams
- unexpected twists
- and the courage to be honest — even when it’s uncomfortable
From woodland ladders to weddings and art exhibitions
As their worlds intertwine, Bell and Luke’s story unfolds across trips abroad, art exhibitions, and even a wedding (or two).
Ladder to the Stars is a warm, uplifting romantic comedy novel that blends humour, heart, and emotional depth — without ever losing its charm.

It’s Never Too Late for a New Beginning
Laurel has always felt like life is happening to everyone else.
She’s juggling three jobs, chasing dreams that always seem just out of reach, and wondering if true love is something she’ll ever find.
On a whim, she signs up for internet dating… but the endless swiping only leaves her feeling more invisible. Then, one quiet evening, while scrolling through social media, she spots a competition: two tickets to a comedy show. She enters, thinking nothing of it — until an unexpected email changes everything.
Winning the tickets is just the start.
