Welcome – I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m Sophie Toovey, and I’m thrilled to introduce you to my world of stories—where romance is always at the heart, but never quite follows the rules.
My books span genres—from romcom to dystopian romance—but they all have one thing in common: a love story that means something. You’ll find swoon-worthy moments (think kisses-only), witty banter, and strong, layered female leads navigating complex, emotional journeys.
I’m passionate about writing flawed characters who grow through the grit—stories filled with grace, redemption, and hope, often through a Christian lens. Some of my books include faith elements, others don’t, but they’re all united by one thing: a love that costs something, not just hearts and flowers.
I describe my writing as clean, not sweet. I don’t write fluff or cliché. I write love stories that matter. And while I’m all for a good ending, I tend to lean toward “Happy For Now”—because let’s be honest, love is just the beginning of the real adventure.
So if you’re looking for romance with depth, drama, and just the right dose of swoon—you’re in the right place.

Amber’s never got over Jesse. When she turns thirty, he unexpectedly re-enters her life. At the same time, her family’s extravagance means that they have to let out their beautiful Notting Hill house, and Jesse offers a solution: they can move into his brother-in-law’s business flat in Chelsea. Along with their college friend Charlie, Amber and Jesse head to Lyme Regis for a beach holiday. But maybe being with Jesse isn’t as great as she remembers. When Charlie reveals that he has feelings for Amber, she needs to make the right choice, after spending nine years in guilt and regret. Following her own dreams, Amber needs to take control of her own future.
Inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion, I Want You Back is a sweet and clean romance which explores toxic families, broken relationships, and the power of loyalty and friendship.
