Autumn is a of many perfections and of course blemishes. "Keep your head up, and nothing will go wrong" is her motto. She lives her life as a successful visionary, dabbling in writing and freelance painting. An Irish background fuels her passion for whatever she pours her heart into. She has confidence, arrogance and a lot of spice. Sound's like the ideal person for a happy life huh? Guess again. Timothy is a well positively arrogant man with a "heart of gold" as most put it. Although an " entrepreneur of happiness" would be the correct terminology. His philosophy in life is simple: "Live and love and you'll forever be happy" and although he has had a rocky past where love is concerned, he keeps his heart open. He has confidence, uncensored banter and a lot of nice. Sounds like the total package that can handle anything. Maybe not so much. These two have different focal points in life, but have a mutual need. This need can only be suppressed by a quirky doctor with arrogant comebacks and a fiery redhead with a smart mouth. When these unlikely two meet, they find more than what they bargained for. But, somehow between themselves, they find the spectacular thing that will bind them - love. **WARNING: Mild language, sexual situations, violence and clichè love story sequences.

When Agatha becomes the Everard's governess, she's grateful for a way to escape her dark past. That is until her growing feelings for the mysterious Lord of the house begin to present an even greater risk. ***** The Everard's are one of the most esteemed families in Wickhurst. And Benedict, the Lord of Devonshire and the eldest of the clan, is as mysterious and brooding as anyone The Town has ever seen. His face is marked with scars, and no one dares to speak on how he got them. Known to all as 'the beast,' the townsfolk tremble in his wake. But little does he know that he is about to meet his match in Agatha Blair, his sisters' new governess. Agatha is witty, smart and gives him a run for his money when he tries to peel back the layers of who she really is. She truly intrigues him more than any woman he has met but she is a governess and he is a Lord. The Town would shun the union of two people from different stations and any romance between them is surely a recipe for social disaster! But what can they do when the burning hot feelings refuse to relent? And when Benedict uncovers that Agatha is hiding a secret far more dangerous than anything he could have imagined, will love save the day and will Agatha finally tame the beast? *This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series.

It is often said that writing is a skill that is never truly mastered. This is a fact. We learn and grow each and every day in our writing. Maybe it is a tip we read, a word we learned, a video we saw, or just simply a critique we received that helps us grow that day but we learned something and will in some way apply it to our writing. This book is my way of putting the tips and prompts I have left on my profile page in one place. I will add more as well. Enjoy! Happy Writing!

I know you have secrets, secrets you don't want anyone to know, besides Zach. I just kept thinking...maybe if you trusted me, you would have told me. I just wish you trusted me to know those secrets." He turned his head to the right, away from me, and looked at the waves. You're worthless! This is why she left...because of you! My father's words tried reaching me again, but I pushed them out, only hearing my thoughts and Zach's. Baby steps. Trust him, Mae. Trust yourself. "I do trust you," I whispered. He turned his head so fast and looked at me with his mouth open and his eyes wide. That was the first time I spoke to anyone that wasn't my brother or my father in over ten years. And it felt so right.
