In the last few months, Jess has been faced with more obstacles
than she ever thought possible. Heartbreak, loss and betrayal to name just a
few. Will her drama fuelled life finally settle into the happy, care free one
that she deserves or is someone hiding and waiting for the perfect opportunity
to ruin it all?
Life for Max hasn't exactly been plain
sailing either. Now that he finally has someone in his life that means more to
him than anything he has ever known, one thing is for certain, he's not going
to let anyone get in the way of his new found happiness, no matter what the
cost.
Demons are released, pasts are exposed and their future together
is only what they make of it.
"I've got a few errands to run Angel, but
I promise that I'll make it up to you later."
"You bet you will, Mister. How long will
you be gone for anyway?" I ask, already missing him.
"I'll only be a few hours, tops. Hey, I
was wondering if you wanted to go and see your mum? We could go tomorrow, or
even later this afternoon?"
I'm hesitant for a moment before I gain enough
strength to reply. "I'm not sure, Max." Uncertainty is evident in my
tone, even though I'm trying my best to hide it. My chest feels heavy at the
mere mention of my mum. I'd love nothing more than to go and see her, to wrap
her in my arms and tell her that everything will be okay. I'd love to see that
she's getting better, to let her know that even after everything that I'm still
here for her, but I can't. She won't take my calls and down right refuses any
visitors.
My only comfort right now is knowing that she's
in the best place and receiving the best possible care, and it's all thanks to
this devilishly kind and handsome man stood beside me. I'd refused any kind of
offer from him previously, because the way I see it, she's my mum and I should
be the one to make sure she has everything that she needs. I guess her stubborn
gene runs prominently in my veins. I remember clearly in my mind the way Max
looked at me, held me close and said, "Angel, please. Please allow me to
do this one thing for you. Let me get her what she needs. I don't have a mum to
look after anymore, Jess. I guess I never really have. All I ask is that you
let me help you. I want to help you."
As much as my stubbornness and pride screamed
out for me to say no, and as much as I wanted to say no, I couldn't do it. I
suddenly found myself unable to say no to him and the pure, raw sadness that
swam in his eyes had me aching for him, aching for his past and the demons that
still currently haunt him to this day.
"Okay," I whispered. It was all I
could manage, but for Max, it was enough. I just hope that one day I'll be able
to tell him just how grateful I am.
Welcome to the crazy and hectic life that is
me: A fun, loving mum of one special little boy, girlfriend (I'm sure it should
be wife by now!!) and an overall crazy, happy go lucky girl from England.
I have always had a passion for reading and
writing. Wherever I am, my eBook reader is never far behind, along with a mug
of coffee.
I found myself wanting to write from a young
age. I have quite a few hidden stories on my computer somewhere. Maybe I will
have to dig them out and play around with them at some point.
DOWN UNDER #2
"Fuck." I slam my fist
into the desk before me and feel nothing but rage. I need to go after her. I
need to explain. "But isn't this what you wanted?" The voice inside
my head whispers. "Isn't this a nice easy way out?"
Everything Max has done has always
been at a cost to others around him. He wasn't about to make that mistake
again. No longer will his selfish ways punish those close to him. Sometimes
it's better to have had and lost than to never have had at all.
Finally after what felt like
forever, Jess was getting a glimpse of control over her life again and allowed
her defences to come crashing down, only to have what it guarded to be crushed
once again. Now, on the other side of the world away from her friends, she
doesn't know what to do.
Should she stay or should she go?
Is it too late or have they both
fallen too far into something that is completely out of their depths?
DOWN UNDER #1
For Jess Townsend, life is about to
get complicated.
Following on from her split with
Josh two months ago, Jess has thrown herself into her work full throttle,
making sure that the one good thing in her life remains the same.
Suddenly she is called into an
important meeting at work. Absolutely petrified that she is about to lose her
job, she does the only thing she knows how. Panic on the inside and walk
through it with her head held high on the outside.
Jess soon discovers she is being
offered a once in a lifetime opportunity, but will she take it?
After dealing with an ex who can't
let go and a broody mysterious Adonis who won't accept no for an answer, maybe
the opportunity of an escape has arrived at the perfect time.
What
does fate have in store and what obstacles will be thrown her way?
OBSESSION #1
Obsession knows no bounds...
Anna Jameson can't wait to escape
the hellhole that her cousin has left her in. Desperate to escape her past, the
idea of moving to stay with Holly whilst she got her head together sounded like
the perfect plan... Until Holly upped and left, leaving Anna to pick up the
mess that she left behind.
Jensen Blake knows what he wants
and will not be told otherwise. Obedience and control are what he knows best.
With demons of his own, he has spent most of his adult life traveling from
place to place the moment things started to become predictable.
When Jensen and Anna are pushed
together, an instant dislike simmers between them. Anna hates bad boys. She has
witnessed enough of them to last her a lifetime.
The sexual attraction between them
is evident but will that only make things harder for them both to handle?
I lived in London for over 10 years and have a love affair with New York. It's only since I have moved to the countryside, that the words have really begun to flow.
I live in a small village by the ocean and walk my little dog, Pip, every day. It’s on those beachside walks that I have all my best ideas.
Writing has become a way of life – and one that I love to share.
