Hanleigh loves books more than nearly anything in the world; whether its reading them or writing them, Hanleigh just can't get enough. She relishes in the way authors can create worlds with the words they put in their books. She loves the way your imagination introduces you to a new world when you read a book. It may well be a world completely foreign to the one you live in. That world is brought to life; inspiring you to dream, captivating your imagination and enticing your senses.
Hanleigh first took to reading as a small child reading Dr Zeus. She then fell in love with romance literature when she first read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen; when she first swooned over Mr Darcy. She's read more books than she can count and owns more books than some libraries.

Hanleigh's London

My attention is torn away from Aurora when Lisa announces over the intercom that Catherine has come up from Human Resources. I stand to my feet as Catherine enters my office. 


"What can I do for you, Mr Peters?" Catherine asks.


She's pretty; blonde hair, blue eyes, tall but she's not Aurora, and my mind is full of Aurora. 


"I've just received an employee's resignation," I tell her. "I need you to start advertising for a new account director." 


"Yes sir." Catherine makes a note on her iPad. "Is that all sir?" 


"Can you make sure that we help Louisa Kennley with finding a new position in Birmingham. She has been a great asset to this company." 


"Yes, sir. I'll get in touch with the larger agencies in Birmingham right away." 


I dismiss her and check my phone. The temptation to text Aurora returns. I sigh as I put my phone down on my desk and open the email icon on my laptop. I need to focus on my work.
