The Hypnotist's Love Story (2011)

Ellen is a hypnotherapist who works out of her home near the beach, helping people give up their addictions or face their phobias. So she is actually fascinated, rather than frightened, when her new boyfriend, Patrick, a widower with a young son, admits that he is being stalked by his former girlfriend Saskia. But what Ellen doesn't realise is she's already meet the stalker, who's been posing as a client. And Saskia is willing to risk more and more to get even closer to the love of her life. The story - partly inspired by the author's own experiences - swings between Ellen and Saskia's points of view and examines the nature of love amid obsession and grief. There is much intrigue - first as you try to work out which client is really Saskia and then as you wonder how things are going to come to a head.

What Alice Forgot (2009)

Alice Love comes to after hitting her head in the gym - to discover that she's lost 10 years of memories.

Instead of being madly in love with her husband Nick, they are in the process of getting divorced and their do-me-up house is now all done up. And somewhere along the past decade it seems as if she's had a personality transplant - why is her relationship with her sister so strained, why is she the queen bee of school activities, and what on earth was she doing at the gym in the first place? As her memories slowly resurface, including the role a woman called Gina played in her life, Alice is wondering whether she took a wrong turn somewhere. With twists and turns that will bring out both the smiles and the tears, plus a totally satisfying ending, this is one book you won't forget in a hurry.
