"I shouldn't be doing this." 
"I didn't ask what you should be doing, I asked if you wanted me to stop."

In the busy, overcrowded streets of London, Eliza O'Connor lives a double life. By day, she makes ends meet as a bartender, trying and mostly failing to keep on top of ever increasing bills and looming debt. By night, she takes to the stage, hustling men as an exotic dancer, doing everything she can to conceal this part of her life from her conservative sister. 

Marko Cruz, a relentless lawyer, finds solace only in his work, his hectic schedule leaving him little time for leisure or love. When fate intervenes through his best friend's wedding plans, their worlds collide unexpectedly. Drawn together by an irresistible spark, Eliza and Marko dance around an undeniable connection that defies the boundaries of their separate lives.

As they grow closer, Eliza grapples with the looming expectations of her sister, the ever increasing hostility of the world around her to sex work, and her fraught relationship with her current boyfriend. How, in all of this, can she reveal the details of her life to someone whose world is so different from hers? Will their growing affection withstand the weight of the secrets she keeps?

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home.

"One year. That's all it'll take. In this marriage, I'll make your life a living hell. You'll hate every second of it, and by the end, you'll regret even knowing my name." "My life's already a mess, Charlotte. Not sure what more you can do to top it. But go on, give it your best shot. Just try not to fall in love with me while you're at it, yeah?" "And now, you may kiss the bride." the officiant declared, sealing the deal. __________________________________________ June Hayes is just another corporate worker-long hours at the office, late-night drinks with friends, and stumbling through her twenties with a mix of chaos and charm. But beneath her confident exterior lies a secret she's fought to keep hidden-a mountain of debt and a past she'd do anything to forget. When her carefully guarded world crumbles, June is faced with an impossible choice: agree to a marriage contract with Charlotte Rutherford, a cold, calculating heiress she's never met, or risk losing everything. The terms are clear-stay married for one year, or until her crushing loans are paid off. ---- Charlotte Rutherford, the CEO of a powerful magazine empire, had her life meticulously planned, right down to her upcoming marriage to Sophie Harper. But her father's ultimatum shattered those plans, forcing her into an arranged marriage with a woman she knows nothing about. As her world unravels, Charlotte must now face a future she never chose. What started as a simple transaction soon becomes something far more complicated. With power, pride, and unanticipated emotions at play, the line between obligation and something deeper begins to blur. The forced marriage they both dreaded might just change them in ways they never imagined. One contract. One year. One question: what if one year isn't enough?
