Mixed Emotions is the first book in the Emotions series, which follows the ups and downs of the privileged Rowlands family as they fall in and out of love, debt and disaster.

Susie Rowlands is a school secretary, young, lovely and with a taste for romance and the high life. Swept off her feet by the heartless, womanising Jonathan, she soon finds herself in a world of trouble, out of work, out of money and out of love. It doesn’t help that her younger brother James seems to be having all the luck – a good degree, a fabulous new relationship, and lots and lots of money. Will Susie’s own luck change when she meets David? Does he have the right amount of je ne sais quoi to attract Susie and help her get her life back on track?

Every character in this delightful saga of Oxfordshire living seems to have some secret or other lurking in the cupboard – though some are decidedly darker than others. An unfolding story of family life, relationships and rash actions which keeps the reader engaged, involved and eager to know more right up until the cliff-hanger ending.
