First Love's Second Chance by RebeccaSherwin

Two best friends. One Christmas. No one could predict the heartbreak and tragedy that was to tear their friendship apart. Jenna Rivera is a successful, business management graduate and London-based entrepreneur. But it wasn’t always that way; she was born in a small town near the sea and filled her childhood with surfing and fishing in rock pools. Stuck in a city that overwhelms her, in a relationship that is more convenient than passionate, her heart is still where she left it, broken, many years ago. Deacon Reid lives in the small seaside town he grew up in, and inherited his father’s property development company after his death. While managing a million pound company and avoiding everything his life was before his father died, he tries to replace the girl who ran away and ruined him for anyone else, so long ago. Five and a half years after their lives were irreversibly changed, Jenna and Deacon meet again at the house that holds so many memories for them both. Everything that was good about each other disappears, replaced by feelings more intense and powerful than either ever thought possible. In the process of healing, grieving and learning to love again, they consume each other; and their entwined lives turn into an affair of lust, love and jealousy. Can they put everything at risk and take the plunge again, knowing they could be heading for a heartbreak that neither of them recovered from before? For readers 17+

High Tide by MackieJay

They say you don't know what you're missing if you've never had it to begin with. The Johnson sisters would beg to disagree on that one. They've spent the majority of their young lives being tossed around the foster care system like debris in the ocean, struggling to catch their breath, stuck in a current not knowing whether to swim up or down. When they finally get the chance at a family after living so long without one, it's not so easy letting those walls down and risking it all. Charlie and Lydia Tanner know what they're missing too, and that's a family to call their own. After struggling with infertility for the better part of the sixteen years they've been married, they've finally been approved as foster parents. They're ready to give these two girls their chance at a happily ever after, but we all know it's easier said than done, especially with a skewed system breathing down their backs. Follow them as they go through the ups and downs of parenthood and know this: family doesn't always mean blood, just like blood doesn't necessarily make a family. Cover by: MackieJay #Wattys2015
