The Big Day Deceit
A Romantic Story of Lies, Passion, and Second Chances
One marriage. Two strangers. And a house full of secrets.
When Annie Simmons steps in for her sister at the last minute, it's supposed to be a farce — a sham wedding that won't even make it through the vows. But thanks to her manipulative parents, Annie suddenly finds herself tied to a man she barely knows and a marriage she never wanted.
Conrad Brenman isn't just a pawn in her family's schemes — he's kind, steady, and far more invested in their future than Annie anticipated. Now bound together by a countryside inheritance and unexpected emotions, Annie and Conrad must navigate a web of lies, family secrets, and their growing connection. Can a marriage built on deception grow into something true, or is the past too heavy to let them move forward?

The Elephant Umbrella
A Chance Meeting, an Unexpected Connection, a New Beginning
In a world of missed chances, sometimes fate brings the right people together at exactly the wrong time.
Caught in the storm of their lives — one literal, the other figurative — Rob Jenkins and Angie Walker share an unexpected moment of connection on the rain-slicked streets of Tossa de Mar.
Rob, with an umbrella painted in vibrant elephants, carries the weight of grief he's never dared to unpack. Angie, dressed for sunshine in a town of downpours, struggles to rebuild her life after betrayal. Their meeting is fleeting, but the impact runs deep.
Back in England, both embark on journeys they never saw coming — Rob toward a long-overdue reckoning with his past, and Angie toward a bold reimagining of her future. Little do they know, their paths are far from finished crossing.
Ann Fairway writes closed-door, emotionally intelligent romance for readers who believe in second chances, warm humour, and love that feels entirely real.
