Thereafter, she published the Angel Trilogy, a fictional romance, including Angel’s Secret, Angel’s Journey’ and Angel’s Legacy.

In the novel, Julia leaves her stately home, to run the same tree-lined route around her seemingly perfect neighbourhood each morning.
This is part of the routine of her seemingly perfect life. Beautiful and gracious, she appears to have it all.
