Never Say Love – Due for release April 2014 (This work is not part of The Alexandra Drake Series)

~~~Cover Reveal Coming Soon~~~

Benito Pascal Abelli.  Italian security professional by day. Playboy by night.  I love women, just not the same one all of the time!"

Benito refuses to love, to commit to a relationship, preferring to spend his evenings playing the “entertainment game” with his friends, a game in which a pretty girl is signalled out to entertain and then to relinquish the next morning, or sooner.

Sent to head the UK division of the family’s security business, Benito continues to play the game at each opportunity, until he picks out Lucy.  There’s something about her, something that draws him to her, she’s certainly not like any of the girls he’s ever picked out before.  Fighting his feelings not to be drawn into a relationship appears futile as he is convinced that what is developing is being orchestrated by a higher force.

Going against all his principals he allows himself to begin what we all consider to be a normal relationship, but in the world of Benito Abelli surely this can’t happen.

The business he now heads is doing well, very well.  Feathers are being ruffled, competition suffers.  Threats are issued and ultimately the thing that Benito values the most taken from him, his worst fear and the reason he refuse to commit or to love.

In true Benito style, as we have learnt from The Alexandra Drake Series, nobody crosses an Abelli or any of their family – he will get back that which he regards as his, as part of his family, those that hurt him, or that which he values the most, will pay the ultimate price.  The Abelli motto is, “We look after our own in this family…”

Sarah is a first time British writer born and raised in the Midlands county of Staffordshire where she still lives today with her family.

Forbidden to use her 'real' name by her children Sarah has been saying  for years that she had a book "in her".  Like most parents, the time to sit down and put those ideas onto paper seemed nothing more than a dream.  As her children have grown, she finally found the time and quite literally let the words flow as her first novel, Freeing Alex, was created, the characters coming to life on her laptop, followed by Loving Alex, Eternally Alex, and more to come with fourth novel Never Say Love.

Sarah describes herself as a true Piscean with an over-active imagination and says that it took a great deal of courage to release 'Freeing Alex', which after completion was destined to be shelved.  However, motivated by her family she finally took the plunge and self published in August 2013.

"It started as a hobby, now it's a passion."
