While still at school in Yorkshire, Pat and Mick fell instantly in love on a blind date. Against all odds, Mick became the bass player of the Love Affair who for three years were almost as popular in Britain as the Beatles. Secretly engaged, Pat moved to London and shared his dangerous, exciting, controversial life as a swinging 60s pop idol.
'Everlasting Love' featured in Kenneth Branagh's 2021 film, 'Belfast,' is a classic song that catapulted the Love Affair to fame and for three years the group were almost as popular, in Britain, as the Beatles. This never before told 'behind the screams' story of the youngest group to have a No. 1 hit, may be fun and fascinating, but it is also a serious piece of rock music history, appealing to everyone who loved, or lived during, London's swinging 60s. Patricia was the secret fiancee of Mick Jackson, bass player, and has catalogued his life in the group in astonishing detail. Whether the boys were being arrested and jailed for causing chaos after climbing Eros or shocking the nation by exposing the music industry's biggest ever cover-up, live on Saturday night TV, a controversy was never far away. Coupled with a revealing, often humorous account of her own and Mick's romance, this is an exceptional memoir. Together for 55 years and still talking, Mick & Patricia have possibly the longest, happy relationship in the memory of pop .

Patricia was born in Bradford and aged 17 became secretly engaged to Mick Jackson, bassist in the Love Affair, a group that at their peak were as popular in Britain as the Beatles. A hypnotherapist for the past 20 years, she has successfully helped thousands of clients and is the author and narrator of twenty audio bedtime story apps for children, that, uniquely, are hypnotherapy in disguise. Her 55-year relationship with Mick is possibly the longest in pop history, they have two children, three grandchildren, and recently celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary.' Everlasting Love & Love Affair' is her debut memoir.
