Sally

Sally Lomax is supposed to be living the best years of her life at the age of 25, yet she isn’t. Hers is a tale of a predictable and homely life.

Fed up with being nice and looking to live out of the convention, she reinvents herself as a femme fatale.

But to be able to let her wild, naughty side free, Sally will need to practice it on someone, and what better person to do it on than the charming, single and aggressively independent Richard.

Sally is convinced she will be the erotic heroine of his life—with incredible sex and no strings attached—until a New Year’s masked ball unearths more than she had dug for.

Chloe

Jocelyn, Chloë Cadwallader’s godmother, left her one last wish before she died; that she should quit her meaningless job and give up on her boyfriend then travel to all four countries that form the United Kingdom during the four seasons of the year.

With the instructional letter first pointing to Wales, Chloë leaves for a farm right at the heart of the Black Mountains where she meets the most handsome man she has ever seen.

As the four seasons unfold—from Abergavenny to St Ives, from the Giant’s Causeway to the Loch Lomond shores—Chloë seems to have fulfilled her godmother’s dying wish.

From not having a man to now having four in her life, Chloë comes to learn about love, lust and the paradox that is life.

Polly

Polly Fenton makes the long trip to America in order to undertake a year-long exchange program as a teacher. Replacing cottage pies with corn dogs is one thing, but trading lives with Jen, her American equivalent, is an entirely different thing.

She is swept off her feet from the moment she steps on American soil; a feeling that grows stronger when she meets Chip Jonson—the school’s athletic trainer.

Spreading across three terms and two countries, Polly is a cheeky story of New England and Old England, loyalty and coquetry, receiving one's just deserts and making amends.

Rumours

Word on the street is that Stella Hutton secured her new job because of her family ties. She is reserved about her past just as much as she is about her new life.

But when a rumor about the selling of Longbridge Hall is propagated, and Stella is called upon to sell the estate, Xander will do whatever it takes to stand in Stella’s way.

Other than being the unconventional home to the Fortescues, one that has been part of local lives for centuries, the estate is also where Xander was raised. His memories and secrets are certainly not for sale.

Will falling in love change all that?

Oliver, an accomplished tree surgeon, may seem to be in control of both his home and business, but he still has deep feelings for the mother of his child, three years later.

But everything changes when she meets Matt Holden—a good looking publisher—and James Caulfield, a menacing landscape gardener who is twenty years older than her.

Although she tries to fight it off, Fen gets deeply intimate with both men into a blur of sex, art and highly regrettable decisions.
