*Available now on Amazon and free in Kindle Unlimited. Also available in Audio.* SILVER MEDALIST IN THE READER'S FAVORITE BOOK AWARDS 2019 Three's a crowd, but four's a war. Big girl undies? Check. Speech planned? Check. Nerves of steel? Check. A single crush? ...not check...? What do you do when you find your best friend/crush kissing your other best friend on the day you were going to declare your feelings for him? You only agree to fake date your crush's rival. The King of the Bows, popular golden (play)boy, and all around douche, Xander wouldn't be my last choice for a boyfriend. Across the school, battlelines are drawn and sides are taken between the new 'it' couple of my former best friends and the excitingly scandalous pairing of me and King Douche. Xander keeps distracting me from the plan; make Jason jealous. He insists on holding my hand and kissing me and being nice. Ugh. Xander's not nice and he's not the relationship type, but he's doing a damned good job of acting both parts. He calls it 'keeping up appearances', I call it 'take one more pass at my arse and I'll break your nose'. They say all's fair in love and war, but what's so fair about falling for the wrong guy when your two best friends are on the other side of the battlelines?

Book Four of The Trials of Telassar saga. Zana and Gillan Avelas have been facing each other as enemies for years, the real source of their enmity concealed from the world. Now, when the truth has finally been aired, the Roquarian War reaches a new intensity as the last phase of the war is launched. Kena Cheyin, the bounty hunter turned hero, anticipates her duel with Zana while the weight of the war falls to her shoulders. With Gillan losing his focus and Ferras Irek his trust, the pillars she has relied upon have crumbled out from underneath her. Even her brother's presence does little to lend assurance to her. And with Rich Olnick craving vengeance on Roquar and Stride Hokun angry at the loss of so many of his loved ones, Kena has no idea how long the carefully constructed war effort can hold up against the strain of revenge, hatred, and fear. There's only one step left to take to salvage what is left of the Coalition of Halan's order. Bring the war to Zana. A two chapter excerpt of the published novel. Cover art done by Kate E.

*full available on Amazon. Free in KU.* Charley and Zane had been best friends since he'd found the broken board in the fence between their houses at the age of four. Sleep overs in the backyard had turned into sleepovers in his treehouse into sleepovers in one of their rooms when they both decided sleeping closer to a toilet was actually great. Zane and Charley were just friends until his girlfriend dumps him and there's the beginnings of a spark.

So Charley fakes a crush and it's Zane to the rescue in helping her follow her heart. After all, there's safety in the friendzone.

*full available on Amazon - free in Kindle Unlimited* If you don't like a smattering of serious on a bed of parody, clichéd characters, and over the top situations that know exactly what they are, then this book is definitely not for you. What do you get when you introduce Deapool's personality to Giselle's? If you answered a love story for the ages, you wouldn't be totally wrong... But, you wouldn't be totally right, either. With a heroine who won't let a stupid little thing like being too good get in the way of showing her stupid ex what's what and a hero who wants no part of being the male lead in a romance novel, these two opposites find themselves in an unconventional partnership. When peppy-go-lucky Avery eventually wears down bad-to-the-bone Davin's defences, he agrees to help her trash her reputation. And, if Davin can help her pass math while he's at it, all the better. So, it's goodbye to Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes, and hello to a whole new Avery. Davin was only supposed to be Avery's mistake - the guy that everyone would eventually call her 'little phase' - and he figured it would be good for a laugh when he looked back on it. But, the more they're together, the less either of them feel it's a mistake. Now, if only one of them could mention that to the other and ease all that angst-ridden tension... A laugh-out-loud modern-day fairy-tale in dual POV for those who know life never quite goes according to plan. The first book in a new standalone series: Bad Boy's Guide to... ND: Davin does have a proclivity to drop the f-bomb.

Free in KU.* The Granger and Drake families have been through everything together; the suicide of the eldest Granger son, the Drake patriarch's cancer diagnosis, family holidays with only slight maiming, and more dance recitals than anyone would care to remember. Leilani Granger can't stand the person Casper Drake has become, and Casper doesn't even recognise his best mate's little sister anymore. Loving each other is second-nature, but they don't know how not to hate each other either. As they face losing Leilani's only remaining brother and Casper's best mate to his inner demons, old habits lead them back to each other for comfort. But, after one night of a deeper connection than either of them were ready for, the lines between the emotional and the physical start to blur. Leilani wasn't the kind to lose herself in meaningless sex. Casper's been doing it for years. It's the only time they can forget the storm clouds in their lives. It's the only time they can remember the sunshine. It's the only time hate doesn't get in the way. But, the trouble with hate is...it's often not hate at all. NB: Contains mature content.

*Full story on Amazon and free in Kindle Unlimited* "It is a truth universally assumed that a stupidly rich boy must be in want of a girlfriend. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a girl who has just travelled half a world must be in want of a bed." From her first day at pompous boarding school Netherfield, fiery Australian Lily Brewer comes up against the arrogance of Austin Cooper. Austin and his twin Jax are the hottest guys in school. And the richest. It's quick wits and sass versus suave intelligence and abs, and they refuse to fall for each other. The rest of the school ignores Austin's behaviour for his pretty face and fat wallet. But, Lily can't get past his cold character even while her insults are enough to bring a smile to Austin's usually dour face. As Lily's roommate Anne is getting closer to Jax, Austin and Lily are always at each other's throats despite the sizzling chemistry that both of them deny simmering below the surface. Between an ardent proposal from her step-mother's simpering nephew, a dashing young fellow-Aussie from the Military College, the twins' scheming bitch of a cousin, Lily's embarrassing family, Austin's intended fiancée, the antics of the twins' best friend, the overbearing Lady Celia, and a whole lot of stubbornness, love seems off the dance card for everyone. Will pride and prejudice ruin them all? Or will love win the day? Get ready to spot all your favourite characters in this Young Adult modern reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, told in dual POV.

*full available on Amazon. Free in KU.* You've read Hannibal's side. Now, read mine. Cole Fielding just wants to take care of his little brother without getting anyone else killed. Then, he sees Aurora Daniels. His Hannibal. He wants her but she sees right through him - she's beautiful, funny, intelligent and damned sexy. But, she doesn't fight him as hard as she could. As Cole fights a growing attraction to more than just the body, his past catches up with him. Can he finally be free of it? Is she his Gray's Blade? Author's Notes: The two books in the No More Maybes series can be read in any order, but it is suggested to read them in publication order to gain the full impact. Much like the differences between Cole and Aurora, Cole's POV is rougher, darker, and dirtier than Aurora's - Cole is an angry young guy who swears a lot and has a tendency to react to serious situations with flippancy in order to keep some distance. So, it is recommended for Mature YA readers.
