Summer Kingsley,
recently single and permanently heartbroken, is barely making it by. Stuck shoving pills up butts, and giving showers to the elderly, she is simply going through the motions of her job with nothing to look forward to when she clocks off.
At least until Herbert, her favourite patient -whether she admits it or not- gives her the best birthday present that she could ever ask for. Concert tickets.
Mason Hayes,
hates performing in Tennessee. Nothing can stop the distaste in his mouth when he looks out into an audience and sees old classmates that treated him horribly or family members that swore he'd never make it. That topped with the pressure of hometown fans is enough to make him eager to wrap things up.
At least until the sexy blonde that's been distracting him all night gains some confidence.

Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

Hating Sean Campbell
Roxy Davis never believed in fangirling. To her, celebrities were nothing but spoiled players in designer clothes, and Sean Campbell, the world's hottest pop star, was the worst of them all. Every headline screamed his scandals, every night a new girl on his arm. But when her best friend drags her across the ocean just to attend his sold-out concert in Sydney, Roxy has no choice but to play along. She expects noise, lights, and wasted time. What she doesn't expect is a chance encounter on Bondi Beach with Maddox Smith, Sean's charming best friend, who makes her laugh, listens, and leaves her wondering if maybe fame has some exceptions. Everything should have ended there. Except Sean notices her indifference. And for a man who lives in the spotlight, being ignored is the one thing he can't resist. What starts as mocking banter turns into fiery arguments, stolen glances, and a dangerous pull Roxy swears she doesn't want. Maddox is safe. Sean is chaos. And Belinda, her best friend and Sean's biggest fan, has no idea that her idol is chasing the one girl who despises him most. In a world where love is currency and trust is fragile, Roxy must decide if Sean Campbell is just another player in the spotlight, or the one man willing to risk everything to win her heart.
