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 Saint Jones [Completed]
A tough-love story, built by insecurities, gets stronger and more passionate in the midst of the ocean. Two different hearts, two different lives, but the same pain. --- Cher McBroom is a young woman with insecurities that goes over her own will. Life has crushed her bad, very bad. She was sadly a victim of a 'natural disaster', as she names it, and this disaster has led to other disasters in her life, creating a rift between her and her future. After years of torture, sadness, and being rejected by all who she thought were her 'friends', she decides to seize her baggage and her pain and embark on an adventure she has never experienced before She wants one thing, loneliness, but a first frail encounter with a young man makes her feel things differently. The mysterious man who wears sunglasses every time is what might be able to allow Cher to live a bit, at least, a tiny bit. Sether, on the other hand, is a young man who has his future in the fog. He doesn't care much about the world, he doesn't care about the women who approach him all the times, he doesn't care about the mockeries he receives regularly because of his hideous sunglasses, he doesn't mind, because he knows the pain, he knows it deeply. Both are solitary birds seeking a shoulder to lean on without even knowing it. They will meet, they will feel the same, they will probably fall passionately in love, but the secrets within them have the keys to their future together. --- Started: 14/11/19 Completed: 5/07/20 Hope you'll love this!
