Kate is a novelist and a dining columnist. Lorne is a lawyer, a prominent wine writer and an incognito restaurant reviewer who, since his teens, has believed he's asexual.
Playmates when they were toddlers and friends ever since, they are now thrown together by increasingly dangerous circumstances as the Mob targets them. The intensity and closeness trigger Lorne's deeply buried sexuality and Kate's long-suppressed desires. Will they be able to set their passions aside and focus on evading and entrapping the Mob?

Spilt Wine
David's buying trip in France is interrupted by the disappearance of a friend and millions of francs worth of wine. When he stays behind to assist and comfort his friend's wife, Catherine, their lives are threatened. As the danger intensifies, they are drawn closer together, uncovering buried traumas, insecurities, and longings. Set on the Burgundy canals and in the French wine trade of the 1980s, Spilt Wine is a crime thriller of mounting tension, realisation, and passion. Although this is a work of fiction, most of the locations, many of the adventures, and some of the characters are real or rooted in reality. David's behaviour and relationships are shaped by his autism, alexithymia, and asexuality, all of which were far less understood when this story is set, and I write of these from my own experience. The reminiscences, stories, and timeline draw on events from my own life, though some have been rearranged to suit the novel. Fortunately, the crimes and the criminals are fictional, and any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental.Complet

Finding Kate
[COMPLETED] Kate's a serial dater, and she likes it that way. Free food, guaranteed conversation, and best of all--no feelings. After years of hardship, she is perfectly content to roll through her life in mediocrity and fake personas. But when a handsome waiter steps in on a particularly bad date, Kate's imagination runs wild and she follows him home, lured by his intense interest in her. She should have stuck to her rules, she should have run; Kate wasn't the only pretender in the city. Now stuck between curiosity and fear, she will have to decide what's more valuable: uncovering the secrets of her pursuer or her life. Author's Note: "Finding Kate" started out as a short story contest piece for Writer's Digest. After winning recognition by the magazine, and sharing it on my website, it quickly grew in popularity. What was supposed to be used as a fun writing exercise has blossomed into a sexy, fast paced, plot twister of a novella. Be prepared to laugh, gasp, and fall in love as you stay up to date with Kate here on Wattpad or on my site, Chase Your Darling.Complet
