(Wattpad Picks - Up and Coming List - 06.07.2018) There are three things Dalia is sure of about her life. She will always refuse to join her Mother's ranks, her luck is absolute shit, and her boss might be in the running to beat that wench as The Devil. When one giant mishap forces her into a massive debt, she has no choice but to stick it out with a boss that's hellbent on making her pay for it. But is there no more to The Devil than just a brooding demeanor and an ill temperament? Or can he help Dalia finally find a place to ground her? With the Red-Haired heathen on her heels and what she deems as indefinite servitude to pay off her debts, Dalia is about to find out. **Warning** There is strong language included. Possible triggers: Assault, Homelessness, some violence. I will also be keeping any author notes at an all-time low to maintain a steady story flow. Have questions? Feel free to comment or PM me!

And every day since has been a rollercoaster on the brink of derailment. That is until it wasn't. At least not because of me. I was about to learn more about the woman with the smart mouth and the two left feet than I ever anticipated. I just wasn't prepared for the nightmare that had been waiting on the other side of that door... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a companion piece to Crumbling Cakes and is not recommended to be read as a stand-alone.

*EDITORS PICK* "This book has been so amazing I found myself daydreaming about it💖💖 totally worth my time 😃" "This story has had me laughing, screaming, and squealing with excitement. Dexter definitely gives me "dude really?" vibes and I'm so grateful the ending wasn't dragged out. Gaby is painfully relatable and I love her dearly and here I am wishing I had a friend like katya. I don't think I could give this story any more love!!! 💛💛💛💛💛" If you like this book, you can buy it: https://bookgoodies.com/a/B07RD1HRR5 A boy, a girl, a dating guru-what can possibly go wrong?! Gaby's recently split from her boyfriend of ten years and needs to escape fast. Where better than the Highlands of Scotland where she can lick her wounds and recover in peace and quiet? Fate has different ideas in mind. First, there's the rough and ready Jack McAllan who bears more than a passing resemblance to Gaby's favourite fictional Scottish hero. He's an important part of the local community, even if he's failed to impress Gaby so far. Who knew a guy could be so rude and taciturn? Then, there's the mystery of the woman whose home she now inhabits. Kirsty's left too many tantalising clues for Gaby to resist, not least her not-so-secret identity and YouTube fame. But why did Kirsty run, and does it have anything to do with the red-haired Scot who keeps turning up in Gaby's daydreams much as she tries to resist... Featuring kilts, mist-cloaked hills, lochs where the water runs deep, spoilt cats and a little too much whisky, Highland Fling is a sweet, fun-filled romp through Scottish small towns and rural life, finding love, making a fool of yourself and discovering that an overactive imagination leads you into all kinds of trouble... The perfect book for fans of chick lit humour, laugh-out loud romantic comedies along the lines of Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella and Jenny Colgan.

K9 deputy Mac Tullman and his furry partner Rego are going on their first vacation in years with a group of fellow officers and their spouses and a few others friends. The promise of turquoise waters, sandy beaches and females in bikinis sounds awesome to his overworked mind but he may get way more than he bargained for when he purchased the ticket in the form of a deeply wounded chestnut beauty with ethereally green eyes. For Brenna Malloy the scars are healing, both physical and emotional. Partially due to the stubborn love of her self appointed brothers and their families dragging her back into the world that harmed her so badly including taking her on a Carribean vacation. It's been two years since that fateful day, she is slowly learning to enjoy the world again but she still wonders if she will ever learn to trust again much less allow herself to feel love.
