Flying with you
Liam Carter has learned not to trust anyone-except himself. After a difficult childhood and a rocky start in life, he has fought his way to where he is today. When he unexpectedly gets the chance to work with one of the country's best figure skaters, he knows that this is his only chance to give his life a new direction. His training partner? Trent Walker. Multiple champion, ambitious, disciplined-and from a world that couldn't be more different from Liam's. Trent seems to lead the perfect life, but behind the flawless façade, a storm is brewing that hardly anyone sees. His biggest battle isn't on the ice-it's against his own father, who can't accept his decisions. What starts as pure training quickly develops into something more. Trust, closeness, desire. But while Liam is afraid to open up, Trent is fighting his own feelings. On the ice, they are perfectly in sync-but can they be in real life? And while Liam and Trent have to prove themselves on and off the ice, a historic decision by the ISU changes the entire sport-and opens up an opportunity for them that never existed before.Complete

Waiting for Everest ✓
Camille Settlemeyer's life revolves around two great natural wonders: Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, and Matt Everest, the boy she's been in love with ever since they met at rock climbing camp five years ago. She might have to wait a few more years before her parents let her fly off to Nepal to scale the world's tallest summit, but this summer Camille's going to hit the road with Matt for one last climbing expedition before they part ways for college. Camille is convinced that a couple days alone with Matt in a beat-up van will make him realize they're destined to be together. What she doesn't account for is Matt bringing along his best friend from climbing camp, Tucker O'Hara, who possess an encyclopedic knowledge of the constellations and a sense of humor drier than the sprawling Arizona desert. Camille doesn't like how much of a know-it-all Tuck is, or how his gorgeous older sister seems to steal every last bit of Matt's attention. But Camille's about to learn that even the best climbers need a compass sometimes. (Commission for Wattpad's promotion of the film "The Best of Me")Complete
Fraser Mountain - Living the snow life
Meet Lexie McGinty. Unfulfilled Graphic Designer at Bostock Bank and according to her best friend Evie 'proper lovely'. Lexie's loves, particularly snowboarding and Labradors - seem to have been filed away in the drawer marked 'Time to get sensible' Navigating through the murk of London life; career, boyfriend, getting a toe (let alone a foot) on the housing ladder is all proving to be slightly underwhelming. So, when the global recession hits hard and redundancy beckons, she's left without a job for the first time in her life. But, as her wise and wonderful (if a little cantankerous) Grandmother would say, every cloud has a silver lining. At least unemployment means boyfriend Henry might get off her back about buying a house. Lexie wishes she had the same pluck as her best friend Evie, who has a million and one ideas about which direction she should go (none of which involve Henry, incidentally.) Then life throws another curveball that sends her on an adventure she never anticipated. The population of Fraser Mountain has just increased by one. When Lexie finds herself far from home in the frigid winter of the Canadian Rockies, she meets a motley crew of ski-bums, handsome ski-patrollers and friendly locals who live the dream, united by a passion for snow sports and mountain life. With no job, no boyfriend and no real plan, can she really fit in and carve out a new life, and find new love, in Fraser, or should she face up to her responsibilities and get back on the grown up bus? _________ Hello! My name is Alex and I wrote this novel based on my experiences when I upped sticks from London to live in a small ski town in Canada a few years ago. I absolutely loved writing this book and I really hope that those who read some or all of it enjoy the story, maybe giggle a few times, and give me some great feedback - thank you!Complete
