Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

*** A Wattpad #1 and Featured Story *** Pay your stake. Roll the dice. Do the dare. Becoming a widow at twenty-five sucks - big style - so Daisy packs her hiking boots and heads back to the Lake District, to the security of best-friend Clara's cottage in Gosthwaite. It'll be just what Daisy needs - anonymity and a fresh start. What she's not expecting is to meet a veritable Knight-in-Shining-Polo-Boots. Xander's twenty-two and drowning in as much as misery as Daisy, but when he knocks her off her wedge heels, she topples into his world of It-girls, players and Michelin stars. At a party, embracing a night off from mourning, Daisy agrees to play 'Forfeit', the ultimate game of dares. Five friends each toss £100 onto the table and complete their dares. Round One was a fun way to pass an hour, Round Two isn't for the faint-hearted, but no one wants to stake £10,000 to play Round Three - not until they're persuaded by a vitriolic blackmailer. £50,000 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 ***

When Olivia Parker is found dead at a high school party gone wrong, it seems obvious who her killer was. Wesley Owens was found next to her covered in blood. Obviously, he did it. The question was why. With the entire senior class attending the end of the year bash, it shouldn't have been that simple to get away with the crime. There had to be witnesses and alibis, especially in the tight-knit friend group found at the scene. Now, with the eyes of everyone on them, the group has to pick up their broken pieces and figure out what actually happened that night before one of them gets falsely accused. With each step closer to the truth, the friends start to get more and more hesitant to reveal the truth and start to realize no one seems to be innocent. (Featured on Wattpad Picks twice!) (Shortlisted for the 2018 Wattys!) In the process of a rewrite!
