*WATTYS 2024 SHORTLISTED*

Ellie did the 'True Love' thing and it left her heartbroken. Now her dreams are smaller: win a BAFTA, convince her mother she's okay, and don't kill her infuriating colleague Nas. And definitely don't kiss him. 

'I am suddenly aware of his hand on my waist. Has he always been this tall? Has he always smelled of smoke and cloves and warmth? My brain is collapsing. All it can think is NAS IS TOUCHING ME. His lips are coming down... Or mine are coming up... Does he want to kiss me? Even worse, do I want him to?'

[2024 WATTYS SHORTLISTED] [18+] In the picturesque lakeside town, the calm waters mask the storm within Juniper Jenkins' heart. Betrayed and broken by her cheating boyfriend, she flees to the sanctuary of her friend's lakeside house, to work remotely for the summer. What she doesn't expect? Running into Wells Hansen-her rival from the Seattle Sun Times-of all people. And of all places, he's running the only coffee shop in town with decent Wi-Fi. She's sworn off men for the summer-pinky-promised no boys-with her two best friends. So there's no way she's breaking that pact. Not after what just happened. But fate doesn't care about pacts, and Juniper keeps bumping into Wells no matter how hard she tries not to. She resents him, and the feeling seems mutual. At least, that's what she believes.

But could he help her if she told him her secret? ***** Two years ago, Princess Adelaide was forced into hiding after her father, King William IV, was killed in a carriage accident that also took the life of her mother and brother.

However, when she's employed by the dashing Duke of Kingfield, she soon discovers that he not only believes that the princess is alive, but also that she could be the key to saving England. Is Adelaide willing to come out of hiding in order to prove him right? Or are her growing feelings for him worth giving up her claim to the throne?

In Drunken Matrimony ✔️ by ForeverAimee_

[WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST] Oliver Osborne is known to most as impulsive, nonchalant, and just downright stupid. That said, it came as no surprise when he accidentally tied the knot in Las Vegas two years ago. What is surprising is that he was stupid enough to do it again. Introducing Hallie Evans; the daughter of a business tycoon who is most often stuck up, tense, and about as much fun as a dead fly. It took a lot for her to be convinced by her friends to take the weekend enjoying herself around a roulette wheel in Vegas. Apparently, it takes much less convincing for her to marry a charming and arrogant stranger. It's just a shame that what happens in Vegas, doesn't stay there. That shit follows you home. - #1 in Funny This book can be read as a stand alone, but character cross overs occur from my first book, 'Mr and Mrs Nemesis'. Be prepared for lots of swearing. A shit tonne. - Soon to undergo slow grammatical editing and minor plot changes.
