Chapter One From Next to You New suit. New neighbor. New love. Will's simple life just got complicated. --Coming July 25 2016

A story based in Outback Queensland. Where once a thriving bush community lived their lives, logging wiped out their existence. This story sees a resident returning to her beloved bush in response to a message from her husband as he died. In this sacred place, will they be together again?

Sometimes you're not ready for love Reid McGrath is drunk and intends to stay that way. It's what a man does when the world he built gets ripped out from under him. Where women are concerned Reid is twenty-eight going on fifteen. Clueless and he knows it. He's never seen anything like the girl who dances around a pole like it's electricity and she's its primal spark. Zarley Halveston might dance under shimmering lights in a barely-there costume, but it's not the life she trained for. She can't see the brooding man in the back booth, but she knows he's there every night wasting himself. He's toxic, and it's not her job to care, until the night he collapses at her feet. Reid thought he'd hit bottom when he was sacked as CEO of his own company, but knowing he'd needed the kindness of a stranger for support, and realizing that stranger was the girl who danced at the dive bar he'd made home, shook him up. An apology, a thank you, a new start were in order, and maybe if Reid could convince Zarley he wasn't a total asshole there was hope he might put himself back together. Can the sacked CEO and the sexy dancer be good for each other, or is what they want from life too different to make a match?

Incognito inspecting the souk as a local Sheikh Zafir noticed a young woman - a foreigner to his country been watched by men. He whisks her off into the desert for her protection. The desert and sun weren't the only thing sizzling between them. Katrina Williams was not what she seemed and he planned to find out what and who she was and why she was in his country. Katrina is on a mission to find her missing sister and many were out to stop her to find protection in a stranger's arm.

Eli Jackson has just married the woman of his dreams. Sure, it was part of an online RPG and not exactly real, but he totally dominated the wedding battle that followed and his lady wife was very impressed. Eli never imagined that his meddlesome older brothers would find a way to make him and his gamer girl meet in person. He never figured on costume designer Zoey Daniels being such fun. Together they’re dynamite, but Eli’s not looking for a real relationship and Zoey lives only for the day. Besides, no one falls in love this fast. Do they? That's the story blurb and I'll be uploading Chapter One on Friday May 1st 2015 (A lovely date for starting something!) From then on I'll be adding more story parts every Tuesday and Friday until the story is complete. I aim to give each chapter a subtitle that's part teaser, part summary. As in: gamer girl - chapter one whereby gamer girl Zoey realizes that her gaming buddy Eli has older brothers who should be shot. Hint: not a problem I'll also be swapping out cover designs a lot - mainly because I can't stay away from the glorious beast that is Photoshop. I'd love to hear cover comments as well as story ones and seeing as I'm new to wattpad I'd love some recs when it comes to places to ogle and improve on coverart. A final note on spelling. I write for three different markets - The UK, the USA and AUS. This story is set in Australia so Aussie slang it is, but the spelling is American English. Realize with a 'z' instead of realise with an 's'. Humor instead of humour. Gray vs Grey. Fun times. See you on Friday!

"Wanna see me naked?"

A little Heyeresque comedy of errors I wrote for the Harlequin Boards writing challenge.

A deep, seductive kiss. That's all she wanted from him. No romantic obligation, just his mouth on hers and the rain trickling down their hot skin.
