Salvation (Heal Me Series Book 1) by Stephanie John
Powerfully passionate, breathtakingly sexy and completely addictive. This is no ordinary billionaire romance. Read the first few chapters of my debut novel here! Available on Amazon and FREE in Kindle Unlimited! Blurb: A chance meeting turned my world inside out. Intelligent, sexy, and rich. With a dash of roguish charm and a cocksure smile, Nathan Blake is the ultimate fantasy. He can have any woman he wants with only a glance. And he wants me. My past has left me broken and humiliated, wary of men like him. I cut myself off from the pain, moving thousands of miles away to escape every reminder, determined to start anew. I've been second best before. It isn't happening again. One kiss and I'm caught under his spell, drawn to him with every breath I take. I can't resist. The passion that explodes between us becomes an intense connection neither of us thought we'd share. Or need. The suffering inside me reflects his - a pain I know he feels, but can't bring himself to reveal. I have no idea his love can heal me - that mine can heal him... ...if only I can let down my guard for him and trust. Salvation will take you on a captivating sensual journey of finding, fighting and finally giving in to a love that is clearly meant to be. Intended for mature audiences over the age of 18 due to the sexual content and explicit language used throughout. Please note that even though this story is set in the United States, it is written from the POV of the female lead who is English, therefore British English vocabulary and spelling has been used.Complete
A Little Too Late
I came to the wild, beautiful edge of the world to outrun my past. I never expected love to wash up with the tide and anchor my soul. My name is Evelyn Rhys De la Cruz, and Sonaville, Cornwall, is my desperate gamble-a clean slate after a nightmare I can't speak of. Here, with the sea's rhythm as my only comfort, I vow to keep my bruised heart safe. But then they appear, a man and a boy who shatter my quiet resolve, each a breathtaking pull I never anticipated. One with eyes like the tranquil sea at dusk, his spirit as free and easy as the ocean breeze. He promises a seductive calm, an escape into a life unburdened, where every moment feels like a sun-drenched dream. And the other who's surprisingly grounded, his gaze holding the deep, steady wisdom of the ancient cliffs. He offers an anchoring stability, a profound understanding that whispers of a forever I stopped believing in. I came here for peace, not a beautiful, agonizing choice. Now, caught between the tender pull of two opposing hearts, my past threatens to reclaim me as I discover that some desires can't be outrun. Can I ever truly be on time for the love of my life? Or is it already... a little too late?

Shoreside
This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete
