lorna cook / elle cook

Hi! I now write under two names…

Under my real name, my Lorna Cook fiction is set in the past full of romance and secrets, whereas my Elle Cook novels are contemporary fiction/love stories set in the present.

My latest, The Distant Daughter, (Lorna Cook) is set in Singapore at the start of the Second World War and in Cornwall in the present day where the past and present collide to rewrite the future. It’s the start of a new four book series and is a Kindle Top 50 bestseller in the USA and UK.

My latest contemporary novel The Wedding Game, (Elle Cook) follows Lexie as she plays a game at a wedding that puts her in the path of two men who both ask her out and who both seem too good to be true. Will she make the right choice? Or will fate intervene?
