When household actress Josie Sinclair breaks off her third engagement-in a blazing tabloid scandal complete with thrown rings, flung drinks, and a scathing front-page headline-she does what any sensible woman would do: flee to the countryside.
Unfortunately, that countryside belongs to her infamously decadent brother, Rupert Campbell-Black. The plan is simple: stay out of sight and avoid drama.
Easier said than done, when her new next door neighbour is Declan O'Hara- The brooding Irish broadcaster. Declan thinks Josie's just another spoiled, self-absorbed, socialite brat ready to coast on scandal. And Josie? She thinks Declan is a judgemental workaholic, sanctimonious brute who couldn't tell a punchline from a punch.
As Josie Sinclair is pulled deeper into the chaotic world of politics, media wars, and decadent country weekends, she finds herself tangled in rivalries old and new. But when secrets from the past begin to surface, and her carefully controlled persona starts to crack, Josie must decide what's real, what's performance-and whether her greatest role might just be the one she never meant to play.

Fᴏʀ Hɪꜱ Sᴀᴋᴇ | ✔
Emily Willows longs for passion, but only with the man of her dreams: the brilliant and dashing Edward Jones. If only her oblivious, dreaming neighbour can stop with all his gentlemanly-ness and just pin her into the nearest solid obstacle available. And then, perhaps encircle her whimpering body into the solid rippling confines of his warmth to show her the greatest pleasure of being alive and breathing, and moaning beneath his- But no, he would not. He could not-he would not even want to. As they've been best friends for, well- ever. And life as Emily knows was already over when the fates showed her the blandest stars in the already sinking cargo of her unrequited love life- by producing the gorgeous product of her gender, as opposed to her own mediocre Tomboy self, the one who'd bring shame to even the finest cream of their species. Lara Williams. It was hard to pretend not to predict what happened after she crossed paths with Edward and yet even harder to pretend that the man of hot blood, desires and virility such as him would not succumb to her charms, and even go as far as to fall in love with her. While it was no secret Emily would rather run away than to stay by Edward's side as a supportive friend as he sees her to be, or rather expects her to be, it becomes extremely challenging for her when he provides her to bear the responsibility of their friendship by asking her the biggest favour he could ever ask. The one favour she was sure no friend would ever ask their own. The one she was sure to lose herself to. The one she knew she shouldn't say yes to. But it would indeed be the one to make her crazy all the way. Oh, dammit, all to hell. __ [ 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 ] ➵𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 "𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞" 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲'𝐬 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗, 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐇Complete
Taking Rein
A rich dad, the perfect boyfriend, and a life that anyone would kill for. What else could anyone possibly want? Seventeen-year-old Sophie Reynolds thought she had it all figured out, until one reckless decision got her sent away to her grandfather's ranch for the summer. Trading in her designer wardrobe for muddy boots was never part of her plan, especially not at Equestrian Creek, where everyone's idea of socialising was talking to horses. Then there's Liam Parker, the easygoing stable boy with a wicked sense of humour, a captivating British accent, and a look that could stop hearts. He's everything Sophie can't stand: carefree, unpretentious, and entirely unimpressed by her attitude. And the feeling? Mutual. Forced to work side by side, their constant bickering begins to shift into something neither of them expected. And the more time Sophie spends around him, the more he begins to change the way she sees everything, including herself.Complete
The Ashes Where We Touched
Cameron has always been "the little sister" in everyone's eyes especially to Chase, her brother's ridiculously good-looking best friend who practically grew up in their house. He used to tease her, ruffle her hair, and treat her like she was ten years old, even when she was seventeen. But years later, Cameron returns to her hometown for a fresh start after a rough breakup, and Chase Bennett isn't just her brother's friend anymore - he's now the co-owner of the town's most popular bar, confident, annoyingly protective, and way too good at remembering the little things about her. A temporary arrangement puts Cameron working at the bar to get back on her feet... meaning she's seeing Chase almost every day. There's tension in the way they trade barbs, an electricity when their hands brush while pouring drinks, and a look in his eyes that says he's noticing she's not so little anymore. The problem? Her brother is fiercely protective and is currently going through issues with his own work, meaning he's travelling more then usual - making Chase promise to "watch out for Cameron" while he's out of town. That promise doesn't exactly cover the nights they close the bar together, the quiet talks in the stockroom, or the slow, torturous moments where neither can seem to step away. When her brother returns earlier than planned and catches wind of something, Cameron and Chase have to face the fallout-and decide whether they're willing to risk the friendship that started it all for a love that might be worth every broken rule.

But when her attention caught the most gorgeous mossy green-eyed guy one crazy night in Bournemouth, her peace of mind has been disturbed. Arrogant, grumpy and not over with his ex.

He keeps giving her mixed signals and it's confusing where she stands with him. **** Tom Wiltshire is trying to get back with his ex fiancee that's why he can't afford to have any distraction. If there's anything what rugby taught him, it's about taking control, that's why he is one of the top rugby players in the country. But after one kiss on a crazy night out with friends in Bournemouth, his wisdom was shaken. The attraction was too much to bear no matter how hard he tries to suppress it. Which is a major problem.

Little Poppy
♚ Period drama ♚ Summary: "My family and the Rice's have been enemies since forever, and it all started because a Rice ancestor married the woman my ancestor was supposed to marry. The thing is though, that over the years, some members of both families have gotten married. The last one, my grandmother's sister, and they lived happily ever after. But that will never happen to me. Especially not with the youngest Rice son, Declan." -------- This is the first thing I've ever written with Declan, and I feel a bit nervous tbh, he's special 😅 It's a spin-off from my other story with Mason, The Lord in Blue, which means it is another period drama. The other one could fit in different moments through history, but I feel like this one suits better during the Regency era, mainly because half way wiriting it all the promo for the new season of Bridgerton started, and I was reading one of the books 😁 Hope you enjoy it, and thank you for reading! 💜Complete

Between Takes and Touches - Declan O'Hara
Corinium Television, a once-prestigious production company tucked away in the English countryside, is in crisis. To salvage its public image, Tony Baddingham calls in a specialist: Alexandra Thorne: a glacial redhead, divorced from a powerful politician, a single mother, and a ruthless strategist. Reluctantly, she returns to the Cotswolds, surrounded by rumors, former friends, old enemies, and a workplace unsure whether to fear her or admire her. Amid budget cuts, sabotaged costumes, and crumbling scripts, Alexandra must lead the charge to modernize Corinium... and stop Venturer from claiming victory. What she didn't expect? Declan O'Hara: a rugged, serious, mildly infuriating Irish journalist with an inconvenient history of accidental charm. Between dangerous flirtations, whispered exchanges in crowded rooms, behind-the-scenes cold wars, and nights where there's only one bed... what happens when she begins to suspect she may have chosen the wrong side of the story? Too late to run. And Alexandra Thorne has never been one to back down from a fight. Declan O'Hara x OC
