Bella Hunt thought the worst life got was the nanny quitting. But then she lost her job and found herself waiting for her husband to run off with his secretary to round off a trio of travesties. Going from being a high-flying fashion PR manager to a stay-at-home mother of three turns out to be a rather rude awakening, and Bella finds herself desperate for adult conversation and her own income. Her best friend and self-appointed life coach Rachel thinks starting up her own business from home is the perfect solution, but Bella couldn't do something like that, could she? **Have Your Cake and Eat it has been edited, given a new cover and an epilogue added, and is FREE worldwide for Kobo, Kindle, Nook and iTunes**

That is the understatement of the century. (c) 2015 determinants [Book #1 of The Unfortunate Weddings Series] [#3 Short Story; 13/11/2015]

There were three things that Dawn was certain of: 1) she's tall (she stands 5'10 which is really tall for a girl and according to her, well, she's basically a giraffe), 2) her best friend is getting married and 3) she believes that she'll never find true love. But things started to change after she spilled hot coffee to this strange man named Eric who is: 1) he's short (he stands 5'7 which is really short for a guy), 2) is actually her neighbor and 3) lost his belief in love. Will they find their way together to believe in something again? (Copyright © Flores, Catherine 2015)

A surfing safari down the coast of California, a few shocking and rather unpleasant secrets, and four inevitable relationships that seem doomed to fail - this is where six salt-encrusted, surf-stoked teenagers find themselves as they rocket down PCH in a beat-up Volkswagen surf van. Alana Walker was born and bred in the waters of Ventura, CA. She's known as the best surfer at C Street and has a heart for God. Cole Anderson, on the other hand, hates anything that has to do with church and loathes being second-best to a girl, especially when that girl is Alana. So when these two get stuck on a month-long surfing safari, they find that their relationships - and more importantly, their faith - is about to be compromised. However, the old saying still rings true: opposites do attract. [ adventure #3 ] SEQUEL: CAUGHT INSIDE

Elisabeth was coming home for her sister's wedding to be the Maid of Honor. If she would've known what the Best Man, William would've been like though, she probably would've told her sister no and give it to her soon to be witchy sister in law- Carolynn. William loved Chase like a brother but having all the mothers throwing their daughters at him, Will was about to ditch the whole thing and just send the Jean and Chase black plane tickets on his private jet to anywhere they want and pay for the honeymoon, then he met Elisabeth, Jean's sister, a spit fire that would rather kiss a frog than be in his presence.
