This is a seven-chapter preview of a full-length published novel. Buy links: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQYVSVV Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/breathe-76 iBooks: https://itun.es/us/d_Yajb.l Check out the companion novel, Whisper! Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks.​ ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.

Althea Tala Fernandez has always lived life on her own terms-wild parties, late-night drives, and endless freedom in the heart of Manila. BGC was her playground, and rules were meant to be broken. But when her rebellious streak finally pushes her parents too far, she's sent away to the one place she swore she'd never step foot in-her grandmother's house in the quiet, sleepy province of Aurora. For Althea, it's a nightmare. No nightlife, no luxury, no friends-just endless rice fields, slow afternoons, and a town where everyone knows everyone. But things take an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with John Ethan del Rosario-the ever-smiling, ever-reliable son of the barangay captain. Ethan is everything she isn't-calm, responsible, and deeply rooted in the simple life she can't stand. At first, she finds him annoying, always teasing her, always getting under her skin. But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that his easygoing smile hides something deeper... something she's curious to uncover. As the days pass, Althea starts to question everything she thought she wanted. Because maybe-just maybe-this little town, this boy, and this unfamiliar life aren't so bad after all. But can a girl like her truly belong in a place like this? Or is she just passing through, destined to leave and never look back? A story about love, self-discovery, and the unexpected magic of second chances-welcome to Aurora, where even the most lost hearts can find their way home.

Seventeen year old Erica is determined to have fun but most of all a holiday romance, and to lose her virginity before going back for her final year at boarding school. She's determined to discover sex before her best friend Jessica does. Unbeknownst to her, for her parents, things are not that different. Her banker father, David, is on a working holiday, with eyes on bedding his new pretty PA and anything else he can get his hands on, with a little fishing and scuba diving on the side, squeezed between family time. Her bored mother, Felicity, who hates the sun and beaches, makes a very unwelcome discovery, is forced to reevaluate her life, and in seeking revenge faces a sexual awakening of her own. Nothing, of course, is easy or ever goes according to plan, and each of them experiences rollercoasters of ups and downs, frustrations and surprises amid the friendly, cocktail laden bars along Seven Mile Beach. But with the help of Sam, a loud and upfront woman that her parents would hate, Erica finally achieves her goal. So do her parents. But not all is what it seems. There is a truly horrifying connection between their lovers that will destroy their lives. Dark secrets and hidden desires lead to the ultimate question: Can we really know anybody truly?

Romero, struggling to push through the day to day life of his world: court bills, money, family, money, the past, money, his own mind, and more money. Carmen has been pushing to become a lawyer her whole life; wanting to be taken seriously in a field dominated by men is not easy though, and if putting up a front to be taken seriously is what it takes, then so be it. A certain struggle comes with feeling as though you have to act a certain way versus who you really are. Except a sensitive heart of gold can't be hidden behind a brick wall forever. Two people, walking across the same tight trope on opposite ends, trying not to fall. One going against the law and one trying to be the law. One born with a silver spoon and one suffering from the abrasions of life. Both trying to survive in worlds not made for them. Except everything in this world overlaps; bridges connecting different lives and stories. It's just a matter of realizing you're not too different from the person on the other side of that bridge.
