Hideout
Rae did something bad. Really bad. So bad she can’t stay where she is since everyone will be after her – the coppers, the gangsters and worst of all her former bosses. She has Xiu. The lone star in the darkness she freely walked into. He gives her what she needs most of all – a hideout in the midst of the serene English countryside. The peace and quiet to come to terms with her actions. Only there happens to be someone else hiding out too. Someone just as haunted and just as terrified as she…

About the author
Billy London
34 books270 followersAh, poor Billy. The only girl between two boys who each have nearly a foot on her. Didn't stop her from starting physical fights with them. She still thinks she can take them. So while she used to hide away in her wardrobe to read a book or four, she started to question why the heroines in those books would just lie there and take it. No, not just sex, but downright James-Bond-backhand-slapping, do-as-you're-told-woman, inappropriate lie there and take it.
She couldn't understand it. These women were just playing that mental woman from Coming to America, Miss “Whatever You Like” who barked like a dog and hopped on one foot. Billy didn't want to do that. Definitely not because one empty-headed fool with different anatomy told her to. So she started to create characters and worlds where the women could own their sexuality, their intelligence, their right to turn around and say “jog on, mate” without apology.
The small problem was that other people wanted to read what she was had written. “Er...why?” didn't cut it as an answer. After years of prodding and pleading and come on and for goodness’ sake, what's the point otherwise, she closed her eyes and pressed “submit.” Actually, she had Prosecco, limencello and white wine, then pressed “submit.” Who would have thought people would actually enjoy reading about the crazy characters who live in her head? But they have done, and Billy feels rather proud of that connection with her fellow man.
Billy lives in London with the most patient family in the world and doesn't forget for a minute how lucky she is. Well, she wouldn't mind a BBC adaptation of one of her novels... Ooh, with Richard Armitage!

Another Hit....
Another great story, what took so long??? I really love Ms London's work. She tells great stories. Please keep them coming. I did however feel bad for X. He was a good guy. Hope he finds his HEA. He deserves it.

Unexpected
Don't assume anything. A lot of people will not be what you think they are.
I was sad for my guy. I was rooting for him but he did not get the girl.
