THE FULL NOVEL PUBLISHED WORLD-WIDE FRIDAY, SEP 30 2022. A summer romance where enemies turn to lovers, and lies threaten to ruin everything. The last time Caroline saw Adam she threw her fist into his face, avenging her best friend's broken heart. The next time she meets him she has just boarded a last minute flight out of the country, and he's in the seat next to hers. A month spent together underneath the scorching sun leaves Caroline questioning if she had been wrong about the man she used to despise. Especially, when the line between love and hate begins to blur. But in her life nothing has ever lasted for too long; why should August be any exception? When Adam booked the trip it was with one goal in mind: To start over. Never in his wildest dreams did he consider his past would haunt him across oceans. Much less in the shape of the one woman who literally can not stand him, and makes it her mission to let him know. He has so many reasons why to stay away, yet finds himself falling anyway. Back home, Caroline's world collapses and she does everything in her power to forget about Adam and Greece entirely. Albeit, chasing away memories proves to be near impossible when the boy in them isn't settling for fading pictures - but wants August to last forever. . . . . . . . Praise for CHASING AUGUST: "This book is my new comfort book." - Wattpad reader "I couldn't stop reading! Very captivating, I definitely enjoyed this book and I LOVED the ending." - Wattpad reader "You made me feel everything." - Wattpad reader . . . . . . .

**Preview Only** When a wounded dragon falls from the sky, Claire Evans runs into a cornfield to rescue it. This isn't just any dragon, he's a shifter, one of six royal protectors, and helping him has consequences. Claire finds herself traipsing--or rather, flying--across the kingdom of Dragonwall. She must face Dragonwall's king. King Talon is not like those before him. Troubled and temperamental, he is scarred by more than the events that shaped him. Worst of all, he is mateless. With no queen and no heir, his subjects are demanding he abandon tradition and marry into nobility. There is a rising threat at his borders, whispers of a sorcerer. Soon, he will have greater problems than that of finding a wife. Modern meets medieval in this seven-book series filled with magical creatures and adventure. This epic fantasy is a slow burn romance that follows multiple POVs, woven together around Claire, a small town Indiana gal. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to get sucked into a fantastical world beyond our own, look no further! **Read Exclusively On Wattpad**
