*** Just a few intro chapters - full book available on Amazon, or you can read the original version for free on Wattpad *** Pay your stake. Roll the dice. Do the dare. Getting divorced at twenty-five sucks. Teaching over-confident rich kids when you ought to be designing handbags for Mulberry sucks. In fact, every single aspect of Daisy Fitzgerald's life is one big fail. But when Xander, a veritable Knight-in-Shining-Cricket-Pads, knocks her off her wedge heels, Daisy topples into his world of It-girls, players and Michelin stars. At a party, buoyed up on champagne and escapism, Daisy agrees to play Forfeit, the ultimate game of dares. Round One was a fun way to pass an hour, Round Two wasn't for the faint-hearted, but no one wants to stake £5,000 to play Round Three, not until they're persuaded by a vitriolic social media campaign that's about to go viral. £25,000 is up for grabs, but the game's called Forfeit for good reason. Blackmail, betrayal, revenge... move over Gatsby, there's a new bunch of bored young things in town. *** Caution. Forfeit's rated at PG-13, but it does contain strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. Just sayin'. Cx *** Being open and honest, I'll only be posting the first 30% or so of #Forfeit here. If you like it and want to read the rest, it's available on Kindle. It won't break the bank - 77p, 99c are the launch prices and the Kindle App is free! Keep posted for chances to win signed copies and Kindle freebies. If you feel cheated that you can't read it all for free, the first/ original draft of Forfeit is still on here. It's posted as a book in its own right, but it's also at the end of the new #Forfeit chapters in this version. Thanks for reading. Cx

My name is Julie Quinn and I've been a New Yorker all my life. Life was good. I was swamped with work doing a job that I loved and I was dating the best boyfriend I'd ever had the pleasure to. I have always been a strong-willed and independent woman - or as my best friend puts it "control freak" - and even more after the accident, but what happened on the eve of my 30th birthday was enough to bring down Wonder Woman.

“Wait.” She lays her hand on his chest. “Where will you be? This is crazy….all the things that have happened tonight, that man being killed…I don’t even know how or why he was killed. We were obviously being followed by that car, you were forced to bring me here. We’ve got to talk about all of this. I’m scared and I’m going out of my mind worrying. I don’t know where my friend is. I’ve been taken away from my home, my step-dad? Please can you talk to me? Just for a little while. I know you’re tired, but I need to talk about this." Santo sighs and removes her hand from his chest but he doesn’t let it go. He’s dealt with dictators, warlords, drug dealers and crime bosses. He makes deals with ruthless business men and he’s rescued people all over the world but he can’t seem to rescue his heart from her. He’s falling fast and he doesn’t know how to stop it. He worries if he gets in too deep he won’t be able to keep her safe now that he knows more about what’s going on at La Croix’s. She doesn’t realize how close she is to it and he doesn’t know if she will believe him if he tells her, but he can’t take that chance anyway. “Alright, let me shower and change and I’ll meet you downstairs.” He lets her hand go. “Thank you. I’ll meet you there.” She steps to the side moving out of his way.

The Dustbowl and tequila aren't likely to erase the regrets haunting the Fourth Horseman, but when annihilation is your sole purpose how can you find substance for your soul? "A provocative moral tale as much about embracing life as meeting Death." Sometimes prayers are best left unanswered. After the equivalence of centuries worth of service as Death, the former man is left wondering whether dying would have indeed been a more desirable option. The buzz of phasing in and out of temporal existence and lopping off heads only lasts so long. But when Death chooses to act on an event he recognizes as an "act of God," he discovers his calling to be more nobel than he thought. "Never has Death been so human as a kiddie pool, a folder chair and a bottle of regret. If only the other three horseman could be as easy to relate to."
