Catalina's world fractures when her mother announces they are moving to Italy for a man she has known for only two months. The wedding is just thirty days away, and Catalina must move early to bond with her new stepfather and his twenty-four-year-old son, Ambrose.
Upon landing in Italy, she discovers that at eighteen, she is legally allowed to drink. Seeking an escape from her mother's suffocating plans, she heads to a bar, fueled by frustration.
After several drinks, she meets a man, and the connection is immediate. They end up together, spending the night in a haze of impulse.
The morning brings a brutal awakening. As the sun hits the room, they both realize the truth: she has spent the night with the man who is about to become her step-brother.
Terrified by the looming wedding, they strike a desperate deal: they will sabotage the union. They must act fast to dismantle the marriage before their parents make it official.
But as they conspire in the shadows of the Italian countryside, the forced proximity pulls them closer. Their secret, illicit connection soon outweighs their goal of breaking up the wedding. They are trapped in a countdown; if they fail to stop the nuptials, they will be living under the same roof, and the stakes of their chemistry will become an impossible mess.

Ignitable
Sophia is sat in a bar with only a large glass of wine for company, quietly nursing a broken heart. When a charismatic stranger approaches her, he's not only confidently funny, smart and intriguing... he's undeniably attractive. That night, for the first time in a very long while, Sophia feels womanly and wanted. This mysterious stranger not only makes her laugh, he ignites something within the very unwanted parts of herself. He ignites something that makes her willingly want to go against all that she thinks she is. ~ Cade Lapley is a ruthless barrister: equally so in his personal life. He is suave, sophisticated and wealthy, with emotional baggage almost as big as his oversized ego. When he meets the just dumped, Sophia Hale, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. He is feeling something, and Cade Lapley just doesn't do feelings of any kind. Yet somehow, this lost-looking woman ignites something within him; a place that has been dark and uncaring ever since he was a little boy. He knows he is playing with an emotional fire, and will more than likely only get his fingers badly burnt. Yet still, Cade finds himself unable to leave this woman alone. He knows he should. Not only for Sophia's sake, but more selfishly for his. Only, he can't. One man. One woman. Together....

Officially Us
Cheating parents, black eyes, torrential downpour and caffeine addictions by the fireside - perhaps not your typical recipe for success in enduring romance. But it seems to be working out well enough for Ruben Foster and Sadie Blake. Or so Ruben thought . . . Ruben fell for Sadie instantly. She was intelligent, focused and driven, beautiful, sweet and caring, with a sense of humour which would make even the most seasoned of comedians chuckle freely. But there was also a darkness surrounding her life which terrified Ruben, but which he would have willingly endured if it meant getting to be with the girl he loved and giving her the life she deserved. But will Sadie let him? Or will she push him away to protect him from that darkness she can't escape from yet? 'Officially Us' is the second novel in the 'Rise and Fall' series; however, this delectable novel can be consumed entirely in isolation.Complete

how to fix a bitter man
Tony Wilson was a man no one could reach. Bitter, angry, and drowning in his vices, he built walls of whiskey, smoke, and cold indifference to keep the world at bay. People didn't try to fix him-they knew better. He was too far gone. Then came Justine Hubert. Soft, warm, and full of hope, she was everything Tony despised. She smiled when she shouldn't, cared when it wasn't deserved, and saw something in him he didn't believe existed anymore. This isn't a fairytale of instant change. It's a story of light against darkness, hope against bitterness-and the question of whether even the hardest hearts can be softened. (i'm so bored so idk enjoy or not idc xx)Complete

Hexel
Luna Murphy is the kind of woman who leaves a mark without trying. With curves that make heads turn and a smile that could knock the wind out of you, she's soft on the outside, but fire underneath. Her striking green eyes are expressive-full of mischief, tenderness, and strength-and her wild, dark waves often fall into her face no matter how many times she pushes them back. She's the girl who'll cook for you, laugh at your dumb jokes, and then sing like sin itself if you hand her a mic. Luna doesn't chase the spotlight, but when she steps into it, she owns it. Loyal, passionate, and full of love-but she doesn't take shit from anyone. Greyson Ridley is all brooding stares and quiet chaos. With dark hair that's always a little messy, tattoos that trace down his chest and arms, and a jawline that could cut glass, he's every bit the mysterious frontman people fantasize about. His voice? Rough, low, with just enough rasp to ruin you. On stage, he's untouchable. Offstage, he's fiercely private, with a protective streak a mile wide-especially when it comes to Luna. Grey doesn't do casual. When he loves, he worships. He's obsessive, intense, loyal to a fault-and once he falls, it's forever.Complete
