‘Ellie,’ I sighed. ‘I know you’ll never know, but I really, really, do too.’
She frowned and suddenly looked over at the window, right at me, but I knew she was just reacting to a sound she’d heard, the muffled noise of my voice, or maybe she sensed me. Either way, she wouldn’t be able to see me in the dark. I lingered for a moment, taking in her high cheekbones, those stunning green eyes, beautiful lips and soft long luminous hair, and cursed as she turned back to face Brooke. I had those pictures we’d taken in the snow of her, and my memories, but nothing compared to looking at her in the flesh. I felt my stomach twist and my chest hurt as I studied her. I missed her. Missed her like she’d been a massive part of my life for years. Married or not, Ellie Baxter was the woman I was meant to spend my life with, I just knew it. Sadly she never would, I had to try to do the noble thing. Again.
I reluctantly turned and walked away, to head back to my life before she’d breezed into it, an even more broken man than I’d been before I met her.

31 Days of Summer
The conclusion of Ellie and Dan’s story
Pre-order now, for release on 26th December 2014
Trying to move on with her new life, Ellie has started dating again. It’s been six months since she last saw Dan in Scotland, but while out on a date, chance throws him right back into her path, reigniting all the feelings that she’d so desperately tried to supress.
When her date recognises him, and tells her who Dan really is, and what he knows of his past, Ellie automatically feels conflicted. While she’s still not forgiven Dan for the secrets he’d tried to keep from her, at the same time, she knows she’s never going to get over him until she faces him and gives him the chance to explain himself. Once again, Brooke persuades her to book a flight to Scotland to confront him and get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Will Dan’s candid explanation resolve everything and pull them back together, or will his confessions prove insurmountable for Ellie and drive a final nail in their coffin?
Acknowledgments
A massive shout out to all my loyal readers who have continued to support me from my debut books, The Austin Series. Thank you, and welcome to new readers as well. The support and messages you send me are never taken for granted.
Thanks to my four Beta readers, Amy, Michelle, Pollie and Holly who tested out my first draft, and to my editor Ella Marie. I had already partially written 31 Days of Winter when I took Ella on for The Austin Series, so we were amazed at the similarity in name, occupation, and physical appearance of my fictional character Ellie, to Ella Marie herself, when I advised her of my new project!
Thanks also to Karen J, my best friend, who offered to proofread for me and has given me so much support and encouragement as I continue with this writing venture. You’re a very generous hearted and kind lady and I’m proud to have you as a friend.

For the Night Series
My name is Logan Steele. I’m devilishly handsome, seriously ripped, well hung, charismatic and highly sexed. Women just can’t resist me. So when I lost my job in the construction industry and was struggling for cash, I decided to put my assets to good use.
By day I’m a private personal fitness trainer. By night I’m a high class gigolo.
I don’t advertise my sexual services anymore, I have a long client list that come to me through word of mouth. I’m that good I’m booked months in advance. Scores of women pay me extortionately high fees to fulfil their fantasies. And for the most part I do. I have a strict set of rules that I abide by, which are provided in the full contract that you’ll receive along with the booking form, if accepted. I’ve bullet pointed an abridged version below, just so you’re clear before you send me an email request:
Rules my clients must comply with are:
I must see a picture in advance.
I can decline the booking request without explanation.
I can only be booked for the night.
All sexual acts must be consensual.
I will provide you with a report to complete, then I will choose the setting for our meeting based on your scenario.
I am flown first class or by private jet if I am required to work abroad.
In the event of the above, I will provide my dietary requirements in advance.
I will perform a full background check.
I base my variable charge on the scenario being requested.
“No” rules that I stipulate are:
No bareback.
No minors.
No physical violence.
Nothing illegal.
No form of emotional attachment during or after the event. I am merely performing a sexual or companion service.
No contact after the event, unless it is for a new booking.
And my absolute number one rule, without exception is:
Full payment up front which, is non- refundable.
There is no requirement for a refund clause, I never fail to perform.
So, now you are aware of my rules for the night and are about to contact me, all that remains to be asked is “Who do you want me to be?”
A selection of comments from some of the Book Blogs reviews of
Strangers for the Night (For the Night #1)
Cara ~ Brit Nanny Reads ~ 5*
“To say this book is HOT is an understatement! It is hot, sexy, calculating and delicious! So for strictly over 18's. Logan is a sexy, hot man! Personal trainer by day and an exclusive gigolo by night. He has his standards and he sticks to them. He demands the best because he is the best….and I think I fell in love with him a little during this book.”
Nicole ~ My Book Filled Life ~ 5*
“Having recently finished up C.J. Fallowfield's The Austin Series, I knew going into this book the sexy times were going to be hot. And let me tell you: this book does not disappoint!”
Christina ~ Love between the Sheets ~ 5*
“I’ve become a fan of Ms. Fallowfield’s writing and the idea of this novella series, based on a series of different clients is intriguing … The book is sweltering, the writing is excellent and the characters are spot on.”
Lorena ~ Author Groupies ~ 5*
“C.J. does not disappoint and I am just so excited for the next instalment of this series. I will read anything, and I mean anything by this author because her books really captivate me and are also interesting. It's not all about sex, there's actually a storyline in her books. You will not regret reading this book, trust me. There is a little bit of everything in here and it will captivate
your attention from page 1 of the book.”
The Austin Series
“These books must be read! I repeat MUST. I spent the summer with Mia, Gabe, Lexi, Doug and they have made me mad, laugh, cry, happy, sad... it was an emotional ride that's very well written.” Yasmila, Goodreads Reviewer.
“You must read this series. I have read all the books separately and this series will not disappoint you. I have read a lot of series’ and this one is one of my favourites and will never leave me. CJ writes in a way that connects you to the characters, and with this series you will guarantee, laugh out loud, cry and get mad. These books take you on one hell of a journey and you will fall in love with all the characters. Gabe and Mia are two lost and broken souls who cannot deny their instant attraction to each other. Both have their demons and commitment issues but what they grow to feel for each other cannot be denied. Are they willing to put their hearts on the line and break down each other's walls? The journey they embark on
is passionate, fiery, loving, romantic, full of drama, hot passionate sex. But can they make it to their HEA? Not without their ups and very low downs. Get the tissues box ready as you'll need them. If you love sexy, dominant, controlling, sensual alpha males that adore the women they love and would do anything for them you will also fall in love with Gabe Austin. He's my new book boyfriend. Once you have finished this series you will not forget it and, like me, you will want to re-read and not let go.” Toni, Goodreads Reviewer.
