New Adult Romance

Everyone feared him; she feared nothing.

The house off the single road between the edge of the village and the nearest town belongs to the last of the McIntosh brothers. For years, the McIntosh family have been rumoured to be violent and possibly psychotic. Possibly murderers. And Kenneth – now a complete recluse – has not escaped the whispered stories that have veiled his kin for generations.

Ella Tennant is loved and looked after by her whole village, for she was born with a rare genetic condition that means she cannot feel fear. Her free-spirited, optimistic nature and her obsessive need to sketch everything she sees have carried her through her challenges.

"Stay away from that house along the way," she's always been told. But her curiosity has finally snared her – it’s the one thing in her village she's never sketched. Pen and paper in hand, Ella strides towards the forbidden...

When a terrifying man and a woman who can never know terror meet, a fuse is lit and sparks fly. In each other lies the understanding that has always been out of reach.

But the villagers aren't ready to hear a different story. And for the first time, Ella's sunny disposition may not be enough to win them over.

When a twist of fate throws university student Crys Murphy into an unexpected job on tour with a wildly successful rock band, her crush on the guitarist turns into powerful temptation. But there’s a dark side to the glamour and champagne: Blade has anger and addiction issues, a history of partying with groupies, and a tendency to get naked in public — and Crys is supposed to keep him out of trouble.

As she gets to know the talented and lonely man behind the bad boy behavior, the chemistry between them wavers on the edge of something deeper. But he doesn’t do relationships, and she grew up expecting a white-picket-fence future. Can he reform and open his heart to love? Will she give up her straitlaced upbringing for her troubled rock star?

Slowly freezing in the snow and a knife to the gut are two awful ways to die.

And Cerise would very much like to avoid both. A mysterious man steps from the shadows with an offer of food, a bed, and a roof over her head. The catch? She'll have to become his assassin apprentice. Her hands are already stained with the blood of five men. What's a little more?

But training to be an assassin isn’t easy and learning to control her magic even less. To complicate things, Cerise can’t fight her attraction to her mentor, Keir, or his charming best friend, Damara. It wouldn't be a problem if she wasn't a dirty street rat. Well, that and society isn't ready for two women to be together.

Everything heats up as an arsonist stalks the streets. His targets? Brothel owners and Cerise's aunt is at the top of his list. Can Cerise get strong enough to help Keir hunt him down or will her aunt become another tragic death that haunts her nightmares?

Marnie

Sebastian’s always been Marnie's knight in shining armor, but their love is far from a fairytale. Especially because Sebastian doesn’t know how badly Marnie wants to dance with him. But when she decides to dance with someone else, soon she finds herself on the shoals of the worst night of her life and Marnie knows there’s only one man who can save her…

Are these two destined to endure this storm together? Or will the secrets they keep destroy them both in more ways than one?

Sebastian

All Sebastian has ever wanted is Marnie for as long as he can remember, but destroying their friendship out of selfishness isn’t a risk he’s willing to take. But when that selfishness becomes the reason Marnie finds herself in a terrible situation, the only thing Sebastian can do is spend the rest of his life trying to atone for what happened…even if it means confessing the truth.

Can Marnie find it in her heart to forgive Sebastian for what he’s done? Or will their love break before it’s even begun?

A childhood bond. An all encompassing love. An immovable man.
