This Cruel Love
Ryley
Don’t trust the fairy tales. They trick you into believing true love will appear on the back of a white horse, in the form of a perfect, handsome Prince Charming. Most of the time, Prince Charming turns out to be even more deceptive and evil than the wolf himself. I thought I’d met my soul mate at high school. Turned out my Mr Wright was so very wrong.
Jackson
I live in a cruel and unforgiving world. I learnt from an early age how vicious life can be, but I’m a survivor. Life may have dragged me down to the depths of hell, but I know how to dance with the devil. Sometimes bad things happen to good people for no other reason than to remind us that this life is cruel. Sometimes good people are pushed to do very bad things to right the wrongs of another. But when all is said and done, we need to ask ourselves… how far would you go to protect the ones you love?
Ryley thinks she has her whole life mapped out. Her happily ever after with her high school sweetheart, Justin, is already planned down to the very last detail. But life doesn’t always work out the way we expect it to. And when demons from Justin’s life threaten to destroy everything they’ve built up, Ryley finds herself thrown into a world of deception, lies and confusion. Truths get twisted, love and hate walk a dubious thin line, and the enemy you think you know isn’t always what they seem.
This book serves as a reminder that the first Prince Charming to cross your path isn’t always the hero in your happily ever after.

Hurt to Love
After darkness, always comes the light.
The darkness is where I’ve lived ever since they took me all those months ago. Dragging me into the shadows to play their sick and twisted games. I don’t know why they took me. They talk about an eye for an eye, but I don’t know these men. How can I be punished for a sin I know nothing about? A sin I didn’t commit.
They love to watch me suffer, they live to make my life hell. I thought my life was over.
Until him.
He blazed through my darkness like a lightning bolt, shining through the void of nothingness. He was a force to be reckoned with.
They thought they’d broken me. That somehow, they’d won. But they didn’t expect him. I know I never did. And now, my life will never be the same again.
Obsessively Yours
Ella
Once bitten, twice shy. Isn’t that how the saying goes? Only, this man looks like he wants to do more than just bite me. He’ll devour me whole, given half a chance. Trouble is, I don’t think I’ve got the willpower to stop him. Not when he’s looking at me like that, with those hypnotic grey eyes. He’s a God amongst men, but his desires are anything but Godly. He’s pure devil wrapped in a designer suit.
Joe
All good things come to those who wait, and boy have I waited a long time to find a woman like her. If she thinks I’ll let her walk away, she’s in for a surprise. She thinks I’m the spider to her fly, but she’s wrong. I’m the one caught in her web, and I’ve got no plans to break free.
Following a chance encounter on the opening night of a new club in the city, Joe Madden sets his sights on the beautiful brunette with the fiery temper. The only problem is she’s had enough of bossy, overbearing men. So what do you do when the woman of your dreams won’t even give you the time of day?
You get creative.
Joe pulls out all the stops to get Ella to notice him and win her over. However, hidden forces are at play, working against Joe and his pursuit of a happily ever after.
Is this perfect playboy everything he seems or are the smoke and mirrors covering a dangerous lie?
This is an extended novel told in two parts, and it does end on a cliff hanger.
Book two, ‘Forever Yours’ is the concluding part of Joe and Ella’s story and is available for download on Kindle Unlimited.
