Seacliff is now only available on Inkitt. In 2019, Aidan is a kilt-wearing tour guide on the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh. In 1919, Saoirse is a Great War nurse who's got nothing left to live for - until the sea brings a naked, unconscious man to her feet. Not one easily shocked after caring for the most broken of men in France, Saoirse takes the stranger in and tends to his wounds. Except the man is all kinds of unusual and she begins to question whether he even is a man at all. Is the grief driving her mad or is there more to the world than she ever thought possible? Saoirse hopes to find answers in her Aunt Aoife's diaries, since the gentle giant she rescued from the sea has no recollection of how he ended up there in the first place. * Editors' Choice, December 2020 * an open novella contest entry which grew into a ~75k-word novel completed * prompt: "When something tragic happens, it's often said we lose a piece of ourselves.

Millennial immigrant Ingrid has quasi-settled in Berlin. She's got a place of her own, the beginning of a career and 'a conscience but not a heart,' according to her barkeep best friend with benefits, Remi. Dale is an awkward exchange student, abroad for the first time and powerless to resist Ingrid's charms when a mutual friend introduces them. He gets tangled up with her at the same time as his newfound mentor Oskar confronts Ingrid about the heartbreak she caused him way back when. Trapped between her conscience and her urge to sink her teeth into fresh prey, Ingrid must make a choice. Give the wishful-thinking fool what he wants and tear him to pieces, or let him go and hope for the best? *featured on the reading lists of official Wattpad profiles: @dangerouslove - 'Bad Girls' @WattpadUrban - 'Street Love' @BadassReads - 'The Badass Queen' @ChickLit - 'Adulthood' @Wattpad - 'Community Curator: @grendelthegood' Killer cover by @lxcksmith
