It's not that she doesn't love him. She just wants him nowhere near her body.
Her heart is telling her to run away. What if there is more to life than this small town? But what sins are worth her freedom?

And The Wedding Is Off! (Now Published so Sample only)
An introduction to her cousin's fiancée wasn't something high on the list of priorities in Grace Forsyth's life. As usual, her cousin had her wish granted, as she forced Grace to organise the flowers for the wedding. Grace assumed that her new fiancée would be a replica of her other husbands. Old, bald, wealthy, blind in their adoration towards her cousin, but at most annoying. It turned out that Alec Matheson fit none of those categories. He looked downright handsome, made her laugh, and was too darn sweet in the way he treated Grace. After their first disastrous meeting, Grace thought it would be best to avoid him. There would be disaster on the horizon if she fell for a man destined for her stunning cousin. When it turned out that Alec was the one in charge of organising the wedding for his father, also named Alec, Grace could relax. She could now explore her attraction for him. Madison continued shoving Grace into wedding organisation, giving Grace too many excuses to spend time with him. When Alec seems infatuated with her, Grace ran with her emotions. An offer of a new home and a life far different from her own seems too good for her to refuse. What happens when secrets denied become fact? How can Grace see through the doubt to the truth? Had Alec fooled her all along? Grace wondered if she would be the one left holding the flowers, but Alec may have some surprises up his sleeve that she would never expect.Complete

The Sound of Glass Hearts {Kellin Quinn} (Watty Awards 2013)
What would you do if you fell in love with someone and unintentionally pushed them so far off the brink that they left you? Would you fall apart? Would you try to get him back? Or could you live your life knowing that you love him with all your heart and all you want is for him to be happy... My name is Hannah Robertson and when things go wrong for me, they really take a nose dive. I don't believe in fairy tale endings where the guy gets the girl and they ride off into the sunset on a white stallion. While it really can sound nice, I just want one thing: I want to fix things with the man who stole my heart. Kellin Quinn and I used to be one of those couples that people would look at and say "Gosh, why don't they just get married already?". We were a disgustingly in love set of people and well, I ruined it. There isn't much to say to that...but I did, I ruined it and I know there is no going back. But when I receive an invitation to Kellin's wedding, I wonder if fate is playing a cruel joke on me. I know it's no longer a matter of if I want him or not: it's more like can I love him enough to let him go?Complete
