A NEW STANDALONE ROMANCE
~~~AUTHOR ANNOUNCEMENT~~~
You wonderful readers have been calling out for more words. And I have written them but I just can't get them to you quickly enough through the traditional route. For this reason, and after lots of kicks up the butt from my indie author friends, I have made the decision to become a hybrid author. In other words, I am going to bring you an indie title between traditional deals.
So...I am ecstatic to tell you that my new standalone novel, Scarred by You, will be released on 24 October 2016.
I can't tell you what Scarred by You is about, just yet. But I can tell you it is a dark, angsty, passionate romance. And I can tell you that you are going to get ALL the feels with this one.
*If you are a BLOGGER/REVIEWER and would like to support the reveal of the blurb and/or cover, or if you would be interested in reviewing an ARC of Scarred by You, please use this form to express your interest: https://goo.gl/forms/srqynBtY1Qbe0ego1

SCARRED by YOU - Blurb Reveal
Hi everyone!
I am thrilled to reveal the blurb for my new standalone romance novel, SCARRED BY YOU, coming 24 October 2016.
Welcome to your first sneaky peek at Clark Layton and Dayna Cross. I hope you like it.
~~~
Their past will become their future. Their scars will be reopened.
Clark Layton has the world at his feet. He is the CEO of one of the largest oil companies in the world and he has a fiancée most men would kill for. Then why, the night before his wedding, is he still thinking about everything he lost when he walked out on Dayna Cross?
Dayna didn’t intend to take the helm of Subsea Petroleum. But events beyond her control left her no choice. And she can handle it, mostly. She can juggle the long hours, the chauvinistic men, and a broken heart. What she can’t deal with is Clark Layton swanning back into her life and threatening to break down her walls.
They are rival CEOs and they are in a dogfight for a lucrative new pipeline. But as truths of their past begin to surface, business won’t be the biggest battle they enter into.

Praise for Scarred by You
"Holy crap this is a GREAT book! The overall feel was kind of edgy with a dangerous overtone, and I just kept waiting for Clark and Dayna to get together AND for shit to get ugly with their business interests. And both happened in spectacular fashion." The Romance Reviews (5* TOP PICK)
"Scarred by You is a soul searing, heart scarring story of love, loss, pain, hurt, deceit and lies. Everything about this book was explosive. Everything about this book was intense. Everything about Clark and Dayna was raw, passionate & powerful. [I]f I could I'd rate Scarred by You so much higher than 5 stars." Bookalicious Babes Blog (5*)

BALANCING THE SCALES
“Carter's writing style is absolutely brilliant.” —The Romance Reviews
A Hotshot Manhattan Attorney.
Drew Harrington knows exactly who he is—a legal shark with a love ‘em and leave ‘em attitude that works just fine in his cutthroat world. He’s on the cusp of promotion to named partner, but only if he can prove to his colleagues that he has a more human side.
A Sweetheart of a British Patisserie Chef.
Becky Fletcher is running from her past, so the last thing she’s looking for is love. What she does want is a friendly face in a cold city. Her sunny outlook is the sweetness Drew never knew was missing from his life.
One fateful meeting at a bagel cart.
They sound like a match made in heaven—or is it a car crash? If they have any chance of finding happiness, Drew and Becky are going to have to rethink their life plans. Until then, is there really any harm in having some fun between the sheets?
All’s fair in love and lox!
#BalancingtheScales is the first book in the #BritsinManhattan series and can be read as a standalone novel.

READ THE BLURB
A high-intensity personal trainer
The secret to Brooks’ success as a Manhattan gym owner? Being motivated to disprove everyone who doubted him long ago. He’s not about to let a perky newcomer like Izzy tarnish his reputation. Even if watching her lead a salsa class on his premises is fuel for some very unprofessional fantasies . . .
His beautiful British rival
Every time Izzy slams Brooks in her fitness blog, her book sales soar. But when their escalating media feud forces them to be up-close-and-personal for two weeks, she realizes there’s much more to Brooks than that incredible body.
And a competition that’s got their hearts racing…
Soon Izzy and Brooks are finding all kinds of creative ways to work up a sweat. A passionate workout is easy, but can their rivalry give way to a lasting partnership?
