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?

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.

My Best Friends Brother - Book Three in The Forbidden Lust Series "You're my best friends little brother Milo, we can't do this." Looking at me with those f**king gorgeous pale hazel eyes, I know I can't keep holding back from him for much longer, this pull dragging me towards him is too strong. He steps in even closer, his coffee stained breath mixing with my own until the taste of him is all that coats my tongue. "I'm not a kid anymore Josh.." Joshua Jones, everyone's favourite best friend. Losing the love of his life ten years ago meant one thing for him - surrendering to a life alone. Instead he chose to focus on the family he built for himself, channelling all he had into making sure they were all happy, even if he wasn't. Coming back after a few years away from Westbrooke, not too much has changed; everyone was carrying on with their lives, while he stays stagnant. They were having kids, getting married, running businesses... Josh doesn't even have someone to kiss goodnight. He's okay though, really, or so he thought... Until he finds out something definitely has changed - Milo Thompson. The once shy geeky little brother of his best friend is no longer the child he once knew, that right there is a damn man. A man that he shouldn't be drawn too.. A forbidden man... Throw in a crazy teenage sister, overly involved best friend, sexuality confusion, hot business rival, evil ex-sister in-law/fathers mistress and all your favourite psycho's from our original Westbrooke tales.... Then ladies and gentlemen, we have got ourselves a story. *BOOK THREE IN THE FORBIDDEN LUST SERIES! MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST TWO BOOKS AHEAD! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING BOOK ONE (MY FUTURE STEPBROTHER) AND BOOK TWO (MY TWISTED LOVERS) TO UNDERSTAND THE ROAD THAT BROUGHT THESE TWO TO THIS POINT**YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*
