Clara wants to be a writer, a passion she shares with her beloved older brother, Jake. But when Jake is found dead in the wash on Scarborough beach, it shakes her to the core and she’s desperate to understand why he took his life.
While studying Psychology at uni, she finds herself assisting with a rehab program in a low security prison. There she meets Michael, an alcoholic and petty criminal with an irresistible pull. He reminds her so much of Jake and constantly challenges her, testing her resolve to stay true to her partner, Dan.
As time moves on, Clara sets up her own practice but cracks are forming in her work and relationship with Dan, not helped by Michael weaving his way in and out of her life. She’s treading water and still plagued by Jake’s death. Can she overcome her loss and save Michael before it’s too late?
A collision of loss and love.

'The Sunrise Girl' by Lisa Wolstenholme
Available from all major online book retailers.
Lucy’s life was fun and uncomplicated. Nights were spent partying with best friend Em, doing what twenty-somethings do: dancing, drinking and ditching any men who wanted more than just a one-night stand.
All Joe Morris wanted was for Lucy to be his devoted wife. Now two years have passed since Joe’s death and thirty-two-year-old Lucy wakes at sunrise reliving the events of that fateful night and harbouring a guilty secret she knows will cause her house of cards to tumble.
When Em suggests a holiday to the clubbing island of Ibiza, Lucy jumps at the chance to escape her woes and reignite a lifestyle she’d long since left behind. Ibiza doesn’t disappoint and Lucy wants more, but is it all just a smokescreen?
But Lucy’s past won’t stay buried for long and she knows what she should do but at what cost?
Can she figure it out before it’s too late, or will Lucy always be the sunrise girl?
A sexy, emotive tale of a thirty-something woman’s struggle to reconcile her past and figure out what she truly wants.
