Praise for Where the Rain Gets In:
"He has fashioned both an engaging casino-sting/caper story and a wiser, psychologically detailed tale of hard-won success, unrequited love and hidden personal pain." - Hugh Tynan, Irish Examiner
"White has described his characters brilliantly and, in a feat that is not easy for any male author, has drawn a picture of an incredibly believable female character. Although White's characters appear to be damaged and hurt beyond repair, this book leaves the reader with a sense that there is hope. Very well written and with such a fantastic title, how could you resist?" - Bibliofemme
"It's a challenging book about a woman who cuts herself. It helps you get inside the character's head and understand self-loathing. It's exceptionally well-written." - Martina Devlin, Irish Daily Star
These are short extracts from my second novel, Where the Rain Gets In, first published in print by Penguin Books and now available as an ebook on Amazon Kindle, Kobo, Nook ibooks etc.

Could he be the one to save her, before it all becomes too much? Ryder didn't leave much falsehood to rumors. A complete playboy.

Everything Hurts
I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.

BOUND (1 of 3)
Arabella Christensen has always known how to survive. Raised in the wreckage of a broken home and trapped in a cycle of addiction, Bella has learned to keep her heart locked behind sarcasm, ink-stained skin, and a lifetime of bad decisions. She's used to the ache, the chaos, the pull of men who promise everything and leave her emptier than before. Then, there's Dylan Barrett. Her best friend. Her what-if. A tattooed twenty-something with too much charm, too many secrets, and a heart that beats louder than he'll admit. Dylan is all mystery and rough edges, but he's someone who sees her when she can barely look at herself. Someone who stays, even when she gives him every reason not to. As Bella fights to stay clean and build a future that doesn't burn her alive, she finds herself caught between the man who's always had her heart, the past that refuses to let go, and the terrifying possibility that love might not be a lie after all. In a world where survival has always meant staying untouchable, can Bella learn to be held? Raw, emotional, and deeply human, Bound is the first book in a gripping character-driven trilogy about trauma, healing, and the kind of love that refuses to let go-even when everything else does.Terminé
