About the Book
Half of Hartwell Hotel (out August 2025) is a quirky, lighthearted romantic comedy about love, escape, and finding connection in the most unexpected places.

When Olivia Peterson inherits half of a rundown hotel on one of New Zealand’s smallest islands, she thinks it’s the perfect chance to lay low. The only problem? The other half belongs to Ambrose, a cranky schoolteacher who wants nothing to do with her. Sparks, laughter, and grudging attraction ensue in this heartwarming story about starting over.

About the Authors
Nikki Perry and Kirsty Roby are sisters who write together with humour, heart, and a dash of chaos. Avid readers, writers, and cocktail enthusiasts and new Pilates converts, they pen escapist stories that remind us all to laugh, love, and keep believing.
