FRESHMAN HAS ESCAPED!
Fans of The Freshman, I've got some great news for you!
The Re-Release, Freshman, is out now!
https://www.amazon.com/Freshman-Priso...
It has been updated and re-edited with an extra 12,000 words!
Available in Paperback and on Kindle Unlimited!
Nate Mathews is a murderer.
Alfie doesn’t know the details of his crime, and he doesn’t want to.
All he knows is Nate Mathews is evil, and his colleagues at Larkwood prison shudder at his name.
But Alfie has caught Nate’s eyes, and they start flirting in the early hours.
It’s forbidden, terrifying, but arousing too.
One whisper of ‘Freshman’ from Nate, and Alfie’s stomach flutters, and his pulse increases.
Alfie knows if he reads Nate’s file his attraction to the criminal will turn to disgust, but he can’t bring himself to do it.
He likes Nate.
Nate makes him feel wanted, and that’s a first for Alfie.
Is Nate genuine? Or is Alfie destined for heartbreak?
Take Note:
This is an updated and re-edited version of The Freshman previously published by Evernight Publishing.

Rocked to Death is out now!
Can you believe it has been almost a year since I last published something?!
Rocked to Death is the first book of a four part series set in the Flowershop Assassins universe.
It's fun, ridiculous, but has a lot of heart <3
I can't wait for you to meet Stone, Jude, Mickey and Newt!
Amazon.com
Stone Briggs.
Ex-con, big brother, and not a fan of baking. Which was strange considering he owned, Stud Muffins, a reputable bakery in a dodgy part of town.
Stone’s goal in life is to be there for his brothers, and if at all possible, keep them out of prison. Which sounds simple, only… Newt just stole something, Mickey wants to take part in illegal fights, and Jude is keeping a secret.
Things are complicated enough for Stone without Robin strolling into his life and falling at his feet. Not his feet exactly. He falls five metres along from where Stone had his bare butt cheeks against the bakery window…
Why bare butt cheeks?
That might have something to do with the dead man he just wiped off the kitchen walls.
Which wasn’t Stone’s fault.
That was down to the assassin, Donnie King, and Yates Matthews, the crazy florist across the street.
Why did Robin fall?
That might have something to do with the bible that hit the back of his head.
Which was partly Stone’s fault.
If Robin—the priest—hadn’t forced him to take the bible, Stone wouldn’t have thrown it at him.
He didn’t mean to knock Robin unconscious and break his nose. He’s not a monster despite what some people might think.
Stone is just a guilt-ridden guy who runs a stupidly named bakery.
And the ear sliding down the wall has nothing to do with him…

Happy Reading!

Raging Ranger/Flowershop Assassins #3
Raging Ranger is out now!
The last in the Flowershop Assassin series, join Ranger as he pursues 'the one'.
Ranger Keyes, assassin, occasional stripper and full-time hopeful (not hopeless) romantic is determined to get his happily-ever-after. His best mates, Donnie and Yates, have both found love, and he knows it’s finally his turn to step into the spotlight and star in his own love story.
For that, he needs a co-star, and he sets his sights on one guy and one guy alone.
He may have a chip on his shoulder and a permanent frown on his face, but Ranger knows that Troy’s the guy for him. Convincing Troy to go on a date, let alone that they’re supposed to be together isn’t easy. Troy’s guarded, and dismissive and tells Ranger repeatedly he isn’t the co-star in his love story, he’s the bad guy.
But how can he be the bad guy when he’s put butterflies in Ranger’s gut?
How can he be the bad guy when he helps Ranger with his building rage?
How can he be the bad guy when Ranger falls in love with his laugh?
Ranger’s about to find out exactly how…

So Pathetic/Flowershop assassins 2
So Pathetic is out now!
The second book in the Flowershop Assassins series!
(Ranger's book is still to come)
Today is a great, yet nerve-wracking, day.
It's release day!
And what a relief it is to type that!
So Pathetic is here.
Yates is back, and he's still grumpy about his flowers, and even grumpier that he's going soft for tragic case Dylan. (Not that kind of soft, if anything, he wishes that was soft.)
Yates Anderson
Ex-military strategist, part-time assassin, and full-time flowershop owner is one hundred percent focused on finding his elusive mark, Mr Stevenson.
He has not gotten distracted by the young man who wandered into his shop and asked to die. He has not taken it upon himself to look out for this tragic case, and he wants nothing more than Dylan to stop lingering around his shop like a bad smell.
Except, he doesn’t smell bad, he smells like strawberries, and with each encounter, Yates wants to add cream to that equation. His big watering eyes and twitching eyebrows do things to Yates, dirty things. Dylan is pathetic, so pathetic, but what does that make Yates?
He craves pathetic, longs for it in his bed, and once it’s there, he’s not sure he wants to kick it out the next morning. He doesn’t do caring or emotions. He’s heartless, robotic, yet he’s falling for Dylan.
Dylan knows (or doesn’t) just how to play his one last remaining heartstring, and maybe, just maybe, Yates doesn’t want the lonely, cold existence he claims.
Maybe, just maybe, he wants Dylan to be his.
And maybe, just maybe, that one remaining heartstring is going to break…

Three for a Girl is out now!
The third book in the Magpie Rhyme is out now!
The continuation of Chad and Romeo's relationship as Chad tries to balance his love for Romeo and his job as a homicide detective.
Not an easy task when the love of your life is a serial killer...
Synopsis: If they can get through the first case, they’ll get through any—that’s what Chad tells himself. But juggling his career and his relationship isn’t easy.
The monstrous part of Romeo gnaws away under the surface. His dark moments leave Chad uncomfortable, and when they accumulate into an attack, it leaves Chad shaken.
A guilt-ridden Romeo disappears and Chad’s quest for a normal life falls apart around him. He needs Romeo, his monster, his savior and if that means turning his back on a normal life ... so be it.

Bye Baby
Bye Baby is out today!!!
Donnie King my awful assassin.
Elliot Austin my teasing terror.
Description:
Donnie King.
Ruthless, sexy and assassin extraordinaire.
Or at least he used to be.
Now, Donnie’s washed up, drinking himself into unconsciousness night after night. He needs one more hit, one more chance to prove himself, to reclaim some dignity.
Enter Elliot Austin, the blue-eyed, blond.
An easy kill, or he should’ve been.
Donnie botches the hit and wakes up tied to a chair with a knife pressed to his jugular. He waits for Elliot to finish him off, but his young mark does something unexpected.
He kisses Donnie, then speaks over his shoulder as he leaves.
“Bye Baby.”
Humiliated, Donnie vows to end Elliot, but killing him is anything but easy.
He’s gifted at getting away, and is always one step ahead.
He teases, and humiliates, and drives Donnie crazy.
It’s an addicting game of cat and mouse that forces Donnie to climb out of the gutter, and get himself into shape.
Donnie wants Elliot dead, but he might just want him alive that little bit more...
Happy Reading!
