Michael Montrose, young, naive and fresh from university, is travelling alone around India when he meets the strange, alluring Liana. Enchanted by his exotic surroundings and bewitched by Liana’s breathtaking beauty, Michael is seduced and falls deeply in love. Everything seems perfect – except for Liana’s sporadically odd behaviour.
As their relationship develops it becomes clear that there is more to Liana’s outbursts than Michael initially suspected, but enraptured by the erotic intensity of their passionate affair, each further proof of her instability merely strengthens his attachment to her.
It is only when they return to England that Michael begins to discover the truth about Liana, finding himself unexpectedly drawn into a mystery more harrowing and more tragic that he could possibly have imagined.

Adventures in Storytelling 
Absolutely my new obsession – this book is unparalleled in my collection and I look forward to reading all of your works.
Hi Julie – thank you so much! Your generous comments are the sort that every author longs to hear, and I’m really delighted that “Kissing” made such an impression. It was my first “solo” novel (I had written a collaborative book previously) and so it still means a lot to me, and your endorsement is greatly appreciated.
