Roses: A Distinctive Little Anecdote
Cultivated in the fabulous backdrop of 21st century East London and told with the realest UK urban flavour, ROSES offers a light hearted insight into the flamboyant world of fiction’s cheekiest sweetheart Mz. Bumper Queen.
The MILLION dollar question:
Will Marcia Burton’s love life ever be a harmonious bed of roses?
A girly summer holiday to the raving capital of Ayia Napa ends with self confessed party animal Marcia taking a wallop from food poisoning and bumping into one hell of a chocolicious stranger, Marlon Reid.
Back in London, life for quick witted Marcia better known as Mz. Bumper Queen spins on the carousel of a corporate career, university, sparkly nights out on the town with the girls and those reoccurring kick ass superhero dreams.
Tossed into a blossoming haze of bouquets, slow jams and flirtatious dates with the ever scrumptious Marlon, Marcia’s anxious to bury the recent love traumas of her past but when fate makes a cameo appearance she’s left wondering if the chances of fresh love will bloom with a rosy ending or wilt with dreadful consequences…

The Last Resort
Lena Carver has everything under control-except her dream. As the no-nonsense manager of Rosebay Resort, one of the crown jewels in the Sinclair Hotels empire, Lena has dedicated the past six years to keeping five-star chaos in check. Between demanding guests, last-minute weddings, and her spirited four-year-old niece she's helping raise, Lena's got zero time for distractions-especially not the high-heeled, high-maintenance kind. Enter Avery Sinclair. She's the hotel chain's heiress and a walking HR warning with a trust fund and something to prove. After being sent to "oversee" Rosebay-aka get exiled from corporate HQ-Avery is determined to turn the location into the most profitable in the company. Her plan is simple: maximize revenue, impress Daddy, and earn the CEO title. Her plan does not include clashing with the sarcastic, infuriatingly competent hotel manager who seems allergic to authority and perfectly capable of running the entire empire on her own. What starts as a battle of wills quickly spirals into something much messier: unexpected teamwork, flirty banter, steamy tension in the linen closet, and the kind of feelings that don't come with a corporate playbook. In a place where professionalism is key and romance is strictly off the clock, falling in love might just be the biggest disaster of all. Welcome to The Last Resort-where ambition checks in, sparks fly, and hearts are the messiest rooms to clean.Complete
