Some Tulip (Paperback)

Sophie and Sarah’s love story is anything but conventional. It begins with Sarah ditching her fiancé at the altar in sun-soaked Crete, fleeing to London to seek comfort in the familiar arms of her ex-fling, Sophie. What starts as a moment of crisis quickly reignites a passion neither woman expected to revisit.

As their relationship deepens, so do the complications. Sarah, an Irish woman nearing forty, finds herself torn between the happiness she’s found with Sophie and the expectations of her family back home – the same family she disappointed with her Runaway Bride act. Sophie struggles with being kept a secret and the growing fear that she’s merely a rebound in Sarah’s tumultuous life.

Set against the backdrop of bustling London, this poignant novel explores the complexities of same-sex relationships later in life, the challenges of coming out, and the weight of societal expectations. As Sarah grapples with her identity and the fallout from her almost-wedding, Sophie fights for acknowledgment and both women must confront their deepest fears and desires.

With each lie Sarah tells her family and each moment Sophie feels pushed aside, their love is tested. Can their relationship survive the strain of secrecy and Sarah’s recent dramatic past? Will Sarah find the courage to embrace her true self? Will Sophie decide that love isn’t enough after all?

Some Tulip is a heart-wrenching tale of love, identity, and the courage it takes to live authentically. It asks the difficult question: is love enough when the world isn’t ready for it?

Why is it more expensive to buy the book from Amazon / Waterstones / Barnes & Noble?

These partners print my book to order. They do not hold stock so it is more expensive to print and therefore more expensive to purchase. I work with CPI Publishing to have stock printed and readily available. Printing in bulk reduces the cost per unit to print, so I can pass that saving on to you,
