{Formerly "Every Bookshop Needs a Cat"}
Anya Ferguson arrives at Fleckney, having lost her job in Bristol. She's determined to support her daughter, even if it means enduring every possible mistreatment from the family of her ex-husband. Except, it seems that fate isn't done torturing her.
When her daughter breaks into a small cabin in the woods in search of her cat, Anya is placed in front of an impossible task to pay off the owner of the cabin for all the destroyed property, including an antique vase that had been in his family for generations. She's ready to be his cleaner and his cook - but what will she do when she's tasked with being his fake-fiancée?
"Paint Me Anew" is the second book in Fleckney Fields Series, but can be read independently. All of my stories take place in the fictional county of Fleckney - so, if you like the place, stay and read about it in other stories.

🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete

Foxtale [Vol. 1] - Ley of the Land
Cael is cargo. Bought, sold, and about to be handed to a buyer who's already paid in something worse than gold-until he breaks his cage and runs into Kymera, a marsh so drowned in wild magic that its rivers glow and its ruins whisper. There he meets Eldinor: a white fox arcanist, alone but for a bad-tempered raven, who tells him plainly that he doesn't belong here and can't stay. Cael follows him home anyway. He has nowhere else to go and the magic waking in his blood will kill him if the fox doesn't teach him to control it. But Cael's old owners haven't given up. A wounded slaver with something to prove, an old mercenary who's tired of the blood on his hands, and an imperial sorceress who sees Cael as property of a fallen empire are all closing in on the swamp, and on the secret Eldinor has buried there for years. Some things you have to face together. And some lies are told out of love. A dark-fantasy found-family story about hope, trust, and the cost of protecting someone from the truth.

But when a new patient crosses his path, a hybrid faerie named Ashton, even he begins to doubt his ability to help this patient. Ashton doesn't know where he is or how long he's been away from home. All he knows is that he shouldn't trust this new human doctor who is trying to help him adjust to life without his wings. Convinced that there is no way to get back home without endangering his entire clan, Ashton has resigned himself to his current predicament and given up on a hopeful future. As Niles tries to connect with this reserved and cautious faerie, and Ashton tries to rebuild his life from scratch, they both learn what it means to trust and move forward.
