Debra St James is an author of contemporary romance with a penchant for swoony heroes who listen to their women’s hearts as well as their words. Her stories are always guaranteed to take you on a journey that ultimately ends with a HEA!
Debra loves to read romance. She can often be found with her nose stuck in her iPad, swooning over her latest book boyfriend. She writes part-time from her Perth home, which she shares with Mr. St James and their two sons, whose antics often make her roll her eyes and laugh in equal measure. Debra loves to eat cheese and chocolate (not together), and cheese and chocolate love Debra’s thighs so much, they never want to leave!
Writing a novel had never been on her radar. One morning, she was enjoying a coffee by the river and a story sprouted, seemingly from nowhere. At the age of 51, she pulled up the Pages app on her phone and began to type.
The rest, as they say, is history!
Debra St James' books
Loving Summer | The Summer Twins — Book One
What can a single-minded billionaire CEO and a kind-hearted kindergarten teacher possibly have in common?
Oliver
Spending all my time focusing on making money and building my business doesn’t leave much time to socialize, but I’m not complaining—it keeps my heart safe. Experience has taught me that people are not interested in me as a person, only for what I can do for them.
… until Kate.
She’s like the sun shining through gloomy gray clouds. She sees me for the man I am, not what my bank account can do for her. I can’t forget her, and I don’t understand why, but I’m not walking away.
Will I be able to convince Kate my intentions are genuine?
Kate
Spending my free time volunteering and looking after my elderly neighbor doesn’t leave much time for a relationship, but I don’t mind—it makes me happy. Past relationships have shown me it’s always better to focus on everyone else’s happiness.
… until Oliver.
He’s the hottest, most generous man I’ve ever met. He sees something in me no other man ever has before. I can’t forget him, and I don’t understand why, because he’s way out of my league.
Can I move beyond past hurts to have a future with him?

Second Chance Summer | The Summer Twins — Book Two
Can a high school crush turn into something long-lasting ten years later, when our lives have taken us in totally different directions?
Toby
I’ve wanted to be the one to kiss Cassia Phillips since I was sixteen years old. Her chestnut hair and graphite-colored eyes, along with her pouty lips and sexy curves, have been the highlight on my fantasy reel.
I was my own worst enemy back then. Too shy and socially inept to have the courage to go after the girl.
Ten years later, I’m successful beyond my wildest dreams, my self-confidence is stronger than ever, and I won’t let anything get in the way of my second chance to have something with the woman of my dreams.
Cassia
From the age of sixteen, I’ve crushed hard on Toby Summer. His denim-colored eyes and sexy voice reach into the deepest part of my body.
I was my own worst enemy back then. Making the wrong choices with the wrong guy time and again.
Ten years later, I’m a single mom and proud owner of a successful florist shop. My faith in men is at an all-time low, and it’s going to take a lot of convincing to open my heart to any man, let alone to a man as famous as Toby Summer.
This is the second book in The Summer Twins series. While this is a stand-alone title, we first met Toby in Loving Summer. For the best reading experience, it is recommended you read Loving Summer first; however, it’s not essential for the enjoyment of this story.

Emma
Happy ever after—I wanted it, but it didn’t work out for me. Now I’m working to rebuild my self-esteem and shattered confidence after being torn down by my ex-husband for years.
I have a singular life purpose—to raise my two boys into decent men, all while juggling everything life throws my way. I’m not looking for another relationship.
Well, I wasn’t, until I met my new neighbor and his adorable niece. There’s something about Theo that draws me in. But I still don’t know if I can trust myself, or him.
Theo
Returning to my hometown was the last thing I had planned, especially being entrusted with the care of my four-year-old niece. There’s pain and loss everywhere I turn, on top of learning what it takes to be a parent. Something I never thought I’d be.
I’m already the disappointment of my family, so it’s important to me, and my niece, that I don’t mess this up. I’m certainly not interested in a romantic relationship, after all, it’s a distraction I don’t need.
That is until I meet my sexy neighbor, who’s raising two boys of her own.
Neither was looking for love, but when Emma faces a life and death battle, can Theo put his demons to rest and be the man she deserves?
This is the first book in the Kisses series, a spin-off from The Summer Twins series. While this is a stand-alone title, we first met Emma in Loving Summer. For the best reading experience, it is recommended you read Loving Summer first; however, it’s not essential for the enjoyment of this story.
