Kade & Olivia
Sweet Beginnings
Book One in The Mayridge Hearts Series
She ran to find freedom. She never expected to find him.
​
Olivia has always lived under her parents’ rules, where wealth, appearances, and family reputation come first. When they arrange her marriage to a controlling man for the sake of business, she’s expected to obey… until she sees the man he truly is.
​
Left without any other choice, Olivia runs—escaping to a quiet small town where freedom, kindness, and a life of her own finally feel possible. There, she meets Kade: a man with a smile that could melt steel and a heart that beats with gentle patience, deep tenderness and a devotion that honors choice in every moment.
​
Unable to fight the connection, Olivia begins to believe in love for the first time. But her past isn’t finished with her yet… and running away might not be enough to keep her safe.
About Me
Hi, I’m Della. A romance author living in the South East of England, where I spend my days writing spicy small-town love stories.
​
I’m married to my favorite person, and we share our home with a very spoiled cat who thinks he runs the place (and honestly… he's not wrong). When I’m not writing about fictional couples, you’ll find me snuggled up on the sofa, in my old lady slippers with a Diet Coke in one hand and a bar of chocolate in the other. It’s an unhealthy obsession, but I’ve made peace with it.
​
Thanks for stopping by, I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with my stories.
My Story
I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. Even as a kid, my daydreams would always find their way onto the page. I’ve always been a huge romance reader, and the feeling I get from getting lost in a great love story is the same feeling I find in writing; complete escape, connection, and joy. Over time, that love grew into a desire not just to read about unforgettable characters, but to create my own. Writing became my way of bringing those daydreams to life, and sharing the kind of stories that make hearts race, cheeks flush, and maybe leave you fanning yourself just a little.
