Eleanor Dufresne, 24, never expected her life to lead her to Scotland. Haunted by a tragedy that shattered her family, she leaves behind her French life for the windswept Isle of Skye. There, she meets Lachlan MacLeod a 40 year old grumpy farmer with a heart of gold bearing the weight of his own tragedy and raising his twins.

As Eleanor begins to rebuild her life, despite her grief and doubts, love blossoms unexpectedly. But their happiness is tested by Lachlan's fear to let someone in again and Eleanor's doubt. Torn between her family in France and the life she's building on Skye, Eleanor must face her greatest fears and make impossible choices.

Will Lachlan's guarded heart open fully before their differences drive them apart? And when faced with life-changing decisions, will love be enough to hold them together?

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. This edition has been fully revised with added and edited content.

"Here's the thing though . . ." He trails off thoughtfully and then he looks straight at me. His eyes are steely and that makes me realise the fundamental difference between the young Ryan and this Ryan. He's hardened now. The sweet boy I once knew is probably still in there somewhere but life eventually got to him and he had to toughen up. "I need someone I can rely on. I don't want to take a person on who just decides it's too much hassle a few days or weeks in and just . . . Ghosts me." He finishes. There's a definite challenge there. He's not just talking about the job. He's getting a dig in there about the way I disappeared out of his life. As well as implying I'm generally unreliable . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iona Stewart is pretty sure she's having a premature midlife crisis. Recently made redundant, permanently unlucky in love, and back living with her parents, she's desperate for a change of scenery. So when an opportunity comes up to work in a hotel in the Highlands, it seems like fate has stepped in. The problem? Her new boss is Ryan Thorne. Her former friend. Her first crush. And the boy who broke her heart nearly 17 years ago. She had no intention of ever seeing him again after that night. And it seems he isn't that keen on having *her* around either. Be prepared for nineties flashbacks, many awkward encounters, and *hopefully* a happy ever after . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ❤️Second Place in the Chick-Lit category in The Pink Cloud Awards❤️ ❤️Second Place in the Chick-Lit category in The Hibiscus Awards❤️ ❤️Winner of Best Opening in Chick Lit in the Berry Pancake awards❤️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Complete companion novella entitled "No Reservations: Ryan's Version" is now available*

STILL IN PROGRESS Cooper and Cameron came from two completely different worlds yet shared the same internal struggles. He was a reserved, lonely man who masked his emptiness with a string of fleeting relationships, while she, freshly out of a broken engagement, filled her life with friends to avoid facing her own pain. Cameron despised his cryptic demeanor and invasive curiosity, while Cooper couldn't stand her stubborn streak and tendency to run away when things got complicated. Despite their differences-age, lifestyles, and entanglements with others-the magnetic pull between them was impossible to ignore. They saw through each other's facades, uncovering truths neither had shared with anyone else. As their lives began to intertwine, the question loomed: could they close the gap between them and give in to what they both felt deep down? Or would fear, pride, and unresolved emotions keep them at arm's length, pushing them into the arms of others instead?
