This year, Susie Miller has just one thing on her Christmas list; to have the most magical holiday experience with friends and family after they all spent the last one in a pandemic lockdown. She doesn't expect her car to break down in the snow, leaving her stranded at the home of her gruff boss, Henry. Or the call that forces them to self-isolate together for two weeks. Determined not to let circumstances get her down, Susie decides her festive plans aren't unravelling, just being rewritten. Roping in a reluctant Henry for festive fun and favourite traditions, she decides to teach him the magic of Christmas and maybe even get through that gruff facade to discover the man underneath! ----- 50K Challenge Longlister - 26th December 2021 Featured on StoriesUndiscovered April 2022 #tsc22

Eleven years later, in the city of Oxford, he met her again for the first time... In 1870, Jack Cade is admitted to the new-breed stronghold of Pandemonium, a colony of people just like him: descendants of the vanished demon race, all of them extraordinary in little ways, and deranged in much bigger ones. There, he falls in love with Ellini Syal, a shy, insular woman who spends most of her time scampering barefoot over the Edinburgh rooftops. In 1881, he meets her again, but has no idea who she is. All he knows is that there are dark, horribly suggestive gaps in his memory, and that Ellini is running from something she refuses to talk about. Can he work out who she is and what she's done in time to save her from the creatures pursuing her? Can he save himself from the amnesia and the creeping indifference that are eating him up piece by piece? Or is amnesia preferable to the kind of memories he will have to unearth? The Great Ellini is the first book in the epic historical-fantasy-romance The Powder Trail, a series where the past and the present meet, part, and reunite with explosive consequences.

Hated by her lineage, Iliya Dalaminai dwells in self isolation, awaiting the day her cousin marries so she might escape the Throne. Feared by the Gods, Sorein Chakrine's crown is mainly a relic put on display at royal ceremonies to ward off evil. When Souls escape the Aphyre and wreak havoc in the streets of Chiori Faire, the Solstice Festival becomes a haunted front line for the undead. With the Royal Guard struggling to gain control, Iliya and Sorein find themselves thrust in the middle of an ancient investigation. Constantly at each other's throats and lost in the conspiracies beginning to corner them, the race to seal the Afterworld and return the Souls to rest quickly morphs into something much darker. A trial to prove their innocence. As more and more evidence surfaces against Sorein, the irreverent Fae Prince might just wish he had never stepped foot on Chiori's shore. Leaving Iliya to pick up the pieces of her crumbling country the only way she knows how. Stowing away. | Cover By Starrdust | | Hades and Persephone meets Cloak and Dagger | | 2023 Wattys Shortlist! | | 6× Featured |

🥇 Wattpad Amby Award Winner - 2023 Top Pick in Romance.🥇 ♥︎ Ren: I have to admit it... I never got over Giovanni. I thought I had moved on, even married another man. But just when I had my life all neatly put together, it all broke apart. Now, I'm nearly thirty, freshly single, and living back home with my mom in California. Then, as if by fate, Gio walks back into my life, his gaze licking up my body like fire, and Zap! All it takes is one look to feel the intense connection surging between us again... and I know he feels it, too, but whenever my heart leaps forward, he immediately takes two steps back. I give anything to be with him again, but will a man stay with a woman if she can't give him a family? ♥︎ Gio: At seventeen, Lauren captured my heart and soul. I naively believed we were soulmates until she shattered that dream and left New York, detonating a bomb of past trauma and heartbreak that turned my world upside down. My life spiraled into chaos, but since my recent diagnosis, starting therapy, and the right medication, I've finally regained my balance. Then she drops back into my life out of nowhere, primed to fuck all that stability up, and I'm supposed to jump back in where we left off? I don't think so. I'd be foolish to risk it, right? I'm so scared for her to discover what I already know-she wouldn't want the man I am now.

A young priest makes a deal with a sexy demon to reject his faith and lose his purity in order to save himself from being sacrificed to a looming, all-powerful God. * * * All that young priest Abel Atherton wants is to become an exorcist, but that dream is shattered when he and the only family he has left are attacked by a powerful demoness. To complete the exorcism, Abel unleashes a sacred power unlike anything the Chapel has ever seen. With the Dead Moon rising and no sacrificial lamb to show for it, being this Holy is dangerous, and a target joins the feathered wings on his back as Abel is declared the next sacrifice.
