I’m delighted to announce that “A Healing Love”, the 4th book in the Paul Robertson Saga, has been submitted for publication at ZBookStore. I'll edit this post to share the link as soon as it's live.

The Paul Roberston Saga has been a labour of love for me for fourteen years now. Fourteen long, difficult years. At 212,000 words, A Healing Love is the longest book I’ve ever written and, I believe, the best. In the next few days, I’ll write more freely about the book now that it’s ‘in the wild’, but for today I’d just like to share with you the blub, to give you a flavour of what to expect. You can also see the cover on my website.

Blurb
Paul Robertson’s journey continues as his past and present collide in an epic tale of healing love.
Paul Robertson is finally taking control. He’s building a business, finding his purpose, and leaving the ghosts of his past behind. But at a star-studded movie premiere, he comes face-to-face with a ghost from his past: the girl he shared a brief, intense romance with while running from his grief in America. A romance that scared him so much, he ended it with a note. Now, she’s on the cusp of international stardom, and he must finally confront the heartbreak he caused.

Their connection that once terrified him reignites with a passion that threatens to consume them both. For the first time since losing his great love, Paul feels that wound he thought was fatal is finally healing, built on shared vulnerability and trust. But their rekindled love is a fragile thing, threatened by the prospect of global fame, the watchful eye of a protective manager, and the ghosts of their painful history.

Even as he’s pulled back into her orbit, Paul is fighting to forge a new future for himself. He’s determined to stop drifting and finally take charge of his life—navigating a fledgling business empire and making the difficult decisions he once ran from.

To keep her, he might have to become the man he’s always been afraid to be. To truly love her, he might have to let her go.

A Healing Love is a beautiful and bittersweet continuation of the Paul Robertson Saga, exploring grief, social responsibility, the power of love, difficult choices, and the discovery that true healing sometimes means learning to let go.

New Covers Coming for All Paul Robertson Books!
The cover for A Healing Love depicts Paul standing on the seafront in Westmouth with the woman he ran from in Nashville two years earlier. He is pose is one of protection. Both of them have an air of vulnerability about them.

Vulnerability is one of the central themes of A Healing Love, and I’ll write more about it in the coming days as I discuss the novel in more depth.

The main image for this cover was generated using the AI tool Fotor. I then heavily edited, most notably the colour levels, and added the text, all using GIMP, to produce the cover. At the same time, I generated new images for the first three books in the series and was even able to ensure that the model on the cover had the same face throughout by using the “face swap” tool in Fotor.

I’ll reveal the new covers for ‘A Good Man’, ‘A Tortured Soul’, and ‘A Wounded Heart’ in the coming days as I try to update the books to match.

I Hope You Enjoy the Book

‘A Healing Love’ has taken me just over two years to write. I think it’s my best work to date, and I really hope you feel the same. It’s a beautiful, heartbreaking, bittersweet story, with a fantastic new female lead. It also lays the foundations for Paul’s ultimate endgame, which we will see in book 5, tentatively titled “A Loving Light.”

We also see Paul begin to step up and show the signs of the man he will become—a business leader, a philanthropist and a political influencer. This book really marks the beginning of Paul’s political awakening, which I found very exciting to write and am even more excited to continue.

I really hope you enjoy this next instalment of Paul’s journey. Please do not hesitate to contact me and let me know what you think of it. I welcome feedback and am happy to discuss the story and characters with anyone who has an open mind.
