Tessa Baker needs to break away from her overbearing and overprotective family, and the best way to do that is to take a job as far away as possible. She wants to be taken seriously, and that means beating them at their own game by succeeding where they thought she would fail. The only snag is her handsome boss, who has the potential to derail all her plans by stirring up feelings that weren't on the agenda. Josiah Shaw wants a capable, low-key manager who won't chase him and whom he doesn't want to chase. Tessa fits the bill perfectly, or so he thought. His life hasn't always been sunshine and roses, but now that he's found stability, he wants to hold on to it. Falling in love when least expected with a woman who wants to spread her wings and fly is not in the game plan. Can Tessa offer Josiah stability and still fly? Can Josiah learn that change can lead to exciting possibilities?

Edited version of "I Sold Myself to the Devil for Vinyls... Pitiful I Know"

A collection of companion pieces to my other stories, written from the male point of view. Companion Piece #1: Will {Away With the Fairies, Chapter 2} Companion Piece #2: Klaus {Every Bookshop Needs a Cat, Chapter 18} Companion Piece #3: COMING SOON!

Poppy Stevens, the youngest of the Stevens family, flew the nest and her over protective family as soon as she could. She has traveled the world and lived independently since she was 18. Now, she's ready to return to her roots, and an extended stay in Scotland, where he mother's family is from, seems the best way to discover her heritage. Poppy decides that the shadow of castle Alfheimr, which was her great grandfather's birthright and was long ago lost, is the best place to start her journey. However, the new laird in residence, Isaac Harrison, distrusts her and makes her visit an uphill battle. Isaac, a former Army man whose career is in search and rescue, prides himself on his toughness. However, he is unsettled by the small redheaded ray of light that enters his life and upsets the delicate balance of his newly formed life. He knows he is rude and distant toward her, but he senses the power she has to change his life yet again. When an unexpected turn of events threatens to rip Issac's new life apart, will an alliance with Poppy be the best way to save it?

Sybil 'Billie' Harewicke's life leaves much to be desired, starting with her ridiculously old-fashioned name. She's a rational, dull person - who had the misfortune of being born into a family of local witches. Her main interest in life is the Library Science - and they had just closed the library in her home county of Fleckney. She works in the only bookshop in the county - while everyone expects her to join the family business of fortune telling and potion brewing. Even the one ability that she allegedly inherited from the generations of self-proclaimed psychics, is the least useful out of the Seven Harewicke Gifts! It's holiday time in Fleckney, which means extra work for Billie, both with her family and at the bookshop. When she's offered to escape both and to work in the Bjornsson Art Fund for two weeks before Christmas, she couldn't be happier. She's always dreamt of getting her hands on the magnificent library of the Bjornsson Hall. Except, it turns out that the job has got nothing to do with bibliothecography - and is a nightmare! And a rowdy, unsophisticated crowd of filmmakers arrive at Fleckney to scout locations and research the scene. The only consolation is that none other than Archie Billingsley is among them. He's everything a celebrity should be: handsome, eloquent, prone to spontaneously quoting Shakespeare, and calling his fans 'darling.' He's just starred in a highly successful Austen adaptation, and there are rumours of an upcoming Chekhov stage play. Among other guests of the Hall are Billingsley's agent, an eccentric director, a dozen of crew members, and Eric Dair, an actor best known for playing every thug, mafioso, and terrorist in pretty much every latest blockbuster, at home and across the pond. Billie is hardly enthused at the prospect of interacting with the motley crew - but at least it'll allow her to avoid the local obsession with holiday romance and finding their true love on Christmas! Bah, humbug!

Heath and Teagan only agree on one thing: they don't want to be in a relationship. Teagan, who is busy finishing her law degree, needs a break from the stress of living up to her parents' expectations. Heath is following his passion and starting his career as a physical therapist, but his family's drama is tearing his life apart behind the scenes. As members of the same friend group, Heath and Teagan will be around each other plenty during wedding season, whether they like it or not. With no time or desire to date, the two come to an agreement: pre-scheduled hookups through the summer or until something real comes along. A situational relationship, otherwise known as a situationship. Their arrangement seems perfect. If their past doesn't come back to bite them.

Fiona is a Beastfolk druid fleeing her abusive master in hopes to reach the border with the Northern lands, where she could find a mage to free her of her slave seal, which gives her owner full control over her life and death. In the woods she's attacked by bandits - and saved by a bear. She's quite sure that her magic wouldn't have been powerful enough to establish such a strong bond with a wild animal - and doesn't the bear seem a tad too intelligent?

Jocelyn Burns returns to the county of Fleckney after ten years of building her teaching and education administration career in Bristol. She's divorced, disillusioned in romance and any sort of closeness, and set in her ways. When she's approached by a former pupil of Fleckney Comprehensive, Alexander Fergusson, a wunderkind mathematician and an owner of several lucrative businesses, including an ice cream parlour; Jocelyn is determined to resist the temptation, despite the magnetic attraction between them. How does one avoid melting in the arms of a man who is proficient in sugar and spice, and masterfully handles the cold? {The story is set in the imaginary county of Fleckney, just as the rest of my stories; but can be read independently}
