Nineteen-year-old Natividad--named after her deceased grandaunt, a fact she thoroughly resents-- is not going to win an award for Best in Goal Setting any time soon. She doesn't even know what her goals are, aside from simultaneously pining for and getting over smart, hot, talented, charming Gabe, whose glossy perfection both dazzles and depresses her. Then the universe deals her a wake-up call in three sure steps:
1) she starts an internship at a preschool, where the kids are chaotic but cute;
2) she finds an intriguing, potentially life-changing stash of letters addressed to her grandmother from her namesake grandaunts; and
3) she falls into a weird friendship with Luis, the boy with an infectious smile who seems determined to rescue her from Gabe--and from herself.
Will this wake-up call finally push her life forward, or is Natividad, much like her old-fashioned name, doomed to forever live in the past?

Disaster-in-Waiting NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON AMAZON
WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"Complete

The M.I.L.F. Man
Disinherited trust fund baby becomes an escort specializing in helping older women live their wildest romantic fantasies. (MATURE) CHASTAIN DEVILLIER, 20, is the loose cannon in a wealthy family descended from two very long and very aristocratic British and French bloodlines. As the story begins, he has spent the last year at what we Americans would call a "party school" in Tucson, Arizona, having dropped out of two of the most prestigious Ivy League colleges in the country--and broken up with his latest love. He's both beautiful and brilliant. But he's a GenZ Holden Caulfield who finds academia a crashing bore and his partying peers insufferably inane. Frustrated by Chastain's inability to find himself, his British father has frozen his trust funds and bank accounts and reduced his monthly living expenses to a paltry sum as a "wake up call." Chas, however, discovers a very unusual side hustle to supplement his meager allowance. After a wild night with a feisty older woman--and with the help of a Web cam star friend--he becomes an escort specializing in clients of "a certain age." It's an occupation he thoroughly enjoys. The wisdom of the women he meets and the diverse cast of characters he encounters in this wild new world intrigues and excites him. Until he falls for CIELO SANDOVAL a stunning, street-smart young asylum-seeker whose dedication to caring for the homeless and less fortunate forces him to rethink this risqué career. And whose narrow escape from two cartel-connected ICE agents hellbent on deporting her back to Honduras sends him on the most meaningful--and dangerous--adventure of his young life.Complete
