Part two of the Milex Soulmates saga
London 1888, Jack the Ripper stalks the streets of the East End, striking terror into the hearts of men women and children. Boxer Miles Kane dreams of a better life for his prodigious son Max, and does all he can to make enough money to send him to music school - so Max can fulfil the dreams that passed Miles by. But a chance encounter gives Miles the opportunity to perform at a top theatre, accompanying a world-renowned opera singer. There he finds himself captivated by the mysterious and beautiful singer Lady Arabella. 
Across town in Mayfair, Alex Turner lives with his wealthy patron Lord Joshua Homme. Cruel and controlling, Joshua taunts Alex for losing his youthful beauty, and when Alex tries to escape by writing a fantasy book about people living on the moon, he is rejected due to his reputation as a party boy and music hall performer. At the theatre he meets Miles and feels an instant connection. They quickly become best friends, seeing something special in each other. Miles finds Alex's curious, mercurial personality fascinating, and Alex loves Miles' kind nature and the fact he takes him seriously.
The men form a musical act and both see a chance to escape their miserable lives. But their relationship becomes complicated when they fall in love. Miles is forced to come to terms with parts of his sexuality he has previously tried to ignore, while Alex knows to escape Joshua will be virtually impossible.
Will the love forged in our heroes' previous life be enough to keep them together, or will their demons - both within themselves and the people around them, pull them apart forever?

***Book 1 of the Soulmates Series*** In the middle of an intergalactic war for freedom and rights, there exists a distant technologically militant planet called Gav'yx, where next to becoming a soldier, finding your soulmate is everything. So much, that the first thing all Gav'yxians see upon their birth, is the image of their future soulmate on the exact day and in the exact place they're destined to meet them. However, on a futuristic earth - now called Uniterra - the idea of finding one's soulmate is a belief held by very few. Especially when it comes to seventeen-year-old Lane Nishimura, a pessimistic student in the extremely competitive space training program at Unity High, struggling with keeping the secrets of his very mysterious and dark past, his mental health, self-esteem, and slew of trust issues caused by years of failed friendships, bullying, and sub-par romances that's left him all but giving up on the idea of there ever being someone out there destined for him. And then along comes Zuuro; a lovestruck alien from the planet Gav'yx, who's long dreamed of the day he'd finally meet Lane, and of getting what would surely be his happily ever after. However, as he soon discovers, finding romance with Lane is not as easy as he assumed. Because not only does Lane not know he and Zuuro are destined to be together, but due to almost losing everything in his last breakup, and to what he's sure is just another trick being played on him by his half-brother, Darin, he's extremely reluctant to open himself up and risk getting close to anyone again. Will Lane allow love to prevail, or will his mistrust and the secrets of his past doom them before it's even had a chance? Find out, in The Foreigner & The Pessimist, the first installment in the all new Soulmates series.

Celestial London Chronicles #1 Long ago, the sun Xyliath, one of the ancient gods, fell in the first Blood War for peace. Her burning tears formed a flaming sword, which she gave to her son Aurelius. The sword had the power to destroy worlds and create new ones, but above all it possessed a power that no other god had. The ability to kill a god. No man, no hand and no weapon could cut through the skin of a celestial being and take out its heart. The Sword of Xyliath was the only exception. For centuries, the sword was protected by the sun god Aurelius, until it was stolen. The sun god, who has long rivalled the moon god, blames the latter for this and sends his grandson Silthos, the god of love and desire, to capture him. The young god receives support from the most feared deity of all - Aristaeus, the god of blood and war. This unusual partnership is intended to save the world from a possible new assassin of the gods. But the collaboration proves to be more difficult than expected. Silthos' usual charm doesn't seem to attract the god of blood and war, and Aristaeus' penchant for blood and torture even gives Silthos the creeps. Two men - a psycho and an unkissed man who embodies lust and desire. Can they save the world from the power of the sword? Who can they trust and, most importantly, can they trust each other?

So who is Arabella? Some people think it's Miles, some people think it is Alex's former girlfriend, Arielle. But there are others who think differently..... Part one of this saga begins in 2009 when Miles has not seen Alex for over half a year and has decided to friend-zone him. He even has a girlfriend! But when Alex turns up to accompany Miles to an Oasis gig, Miles is blown away to see his old friend and former lover looking like a beautiful girl. As the boys grow closer at the gig, they realise any attempts at friendship are futile. They need to find a hotel, and a zany idea of Miles' to avoid them being recognised, unlocks something in Alex that has been dormant for a long while.
