"Working as a maid on a luxury yacht certainly isn't Urvi's idea of a dream job, but she needs money—fast. As a student at the Royal Academy who's been cut off by her family for choosing music instead of medicine, she needs every penny of the exorbitant fee the powerful advertising executive, Jack Bailey, is willing to pay. So what if she thought Jack was asking her out but offered her a job instead? So what if she thought they had a connection during all those late-night chats they had at the bar where she works? Jack and his mega yacht are clearly more out of her league than she realized. A bit of banter with a barmaid obviously meant nothing to him if the cold shoulder he's now giving her is anything to go by. Urvi can't afford pride if she wants to survive, and, with the way her diabetes control has been lately, survival is fast becoming her number-one priority. Maid for Advertising is a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers contemporary romance novella."

Sticks and Stones: A Broken Heart Series Standalone

"For Lou, it was always Dylan. She loved him from the moment they first met across a cadaver in the dissection room at medical school. The most gorgeous man she'd ever laid eyes on, with more Welsh charm than you could shake a stick at; she was a goner. But Lou, despite her beauty, was just too extroverted to interest Dylan, who was convinced that a quiet, shy girl, like Lou's best friend Frankie, was much more his style. 'Have at it mate but I've got two words for you: high maintenance.' 'Don't think I'd mind putting in the hard yards maintaining that piece of arse,' one of Dylan's more disgusting rugby mates replied. 'Well good luck to you,' Dylan returned, looking completely relaxed now that they were discussing Lou and not his precious Frankie. 'I like mine heavy on the sweet and light on the ball-breaking bitch, but each to his own.' After overhearing that exchange, Lou buries her pain and pines for him in private, but she can't give up their friendship. One night, eleven years later, she finally gets what she has been longing for, but the next morning, she realizes he was too drunk to even remember. For Dylan, it was always anyone but Lou. A born surgeon, Dylan resents having to down his orthopedic power tools for a six-month spell in Elderly Care. He thought that at least working with Lou would make his skiving easier; after all, she'd always helped him out before. And so what if he's been having these weird dreams about her since he woke up in her flat? It's not like he'd ever actually go there. When he mistakenly believes that she's put his career in jeopardy, he loses control, and his vicious insults, publicly made, cut Lou to the bone. It's only after he loses Lou's warm smiles, dry wit, boundless energy, and outrageous banter from his life that he realizes the extent of his stupidity. Maybe sticks and stones can break bones, and that's something Dylan's surgical skills can deal with. But when it's a heart he's broken… This book is a full-length, standalone contemporary romance with an HEA and no cliffhanger."

Beyond Repair: A Broken Heart Series Standalone

"Everybody loves Katie. With her bubbly personality, her beauty, her never-ending supply of care and support for her patients and friends, and her huge sense of fun, there's very little to dislike. Yes, she's a bit scatty, she tends not to sweat the small stuff (like an engine light on her dashboard—that is, until her Mini won't start anymore), and she can talk the hind legs off a donkey, but none of that stops most people from thinking she's pretty damn adorable. Well, most people, other than Sam, that is. Sam is anything but bubbly. His surly demeanor is the complete opposite of Katie's, and over the six years that she's known him, one thing has become very clear: Sam cannot stand her. The fact that he makes her nervous doesn't help. Around Sam, her verbal diarrhea is out of control, the snort that she tries to hold in when she laughs refuses to be suppressed, and her clumsiness assumes clown-like proportions. If only he weren't quite so intimidating, she might be able to act like a normal human, but his sheer masculine beauty is enough to throw her off before she's even spoken to him. Then there's the way he looks at her—like she's something he's scraped off his shoe. The combination is enough to short-circuit her brain. Katie may be bubbly and bright, but unfortunately, her past is not, and it's started leaking into her present. She hides her fear from her friends, but when Sam finds out the danger she's in, for some reason, he is furious. Then again, there's a reason Sam is the way he is. He has his own demons to contend with since leaving the Special Forces. The last thing he wants is to spend time with the one woman who cuts through the numbness and actually makes him feel again. But he simply can't stand by if Katie is in danger; he can't allow her to be hurt. Unfortunately, there are other ways to be hurt, and by getting closer to Katie, Sam may inflict more damage than her past ever could. Because Sam is damaged, and some things are beyond repair. This is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy with its own HEA and no cliffhanger."

Unworthy: Unperfect, Book 2

"Unreliable, irresponsible, unpredictable, unaccountable—Yaz knows how her family views her. She was never like them, though. Never academic enough, never serious enough, never really good enough. He was different. Heath was the one who stuck up for Yaz when she was a child. As her brother's best friend and ten years older, he had been her hero—always defending her to her family, always seeing the best in her—he made her feel worthy of approval. As her childhood adoration morphed into full-blown teenage love for her idol, and Heath grew from the good-looking boy she knew to the devastatingly handsome emergency department doctor he is today, his attitude seemed to change. For some reason, her quirks went from charming to annoying—her alternative worldview from refreshing to ridiculous. In fact, there are a lot of things about her that Heath seems to now find ridiculous: 'You look ridiculous, Midge.' 'All this alternative therapy crap is a ridiculous waste of time.' 'Your obsession with windsurfing is getting ridiculous.' 'That ridiculous bike of yours is a bloody health hazard. When are you going to grow up and get a car?' Having gone from worthy to unworthy in Heath's eyes, Yaz convinces herself that his cruelty has killed her childhood crush. After one humiliation too many, she finally cuts ties altogether. By the time Heath starts to see all that he could lose, it might be too late. Maybe it's not Yaz who's the unworthy one after all? Unworthy is a full-length brother's best friend, secret crush, unrequited love, enemies-to-lovers contemporary romance."

Unperfect: Unperfect, Book 1

"When Mia shows up for the interview at a well-known architecture firm, she only has 27p, a squashed loaf of bread, and a jar of peanut butter to her name. She needs this job., even if she is scared to death of the owner of the company. Max has made a name for himself as that grumpy northern architect off Dreams Homes (the most popular property design programme in the UK) after he told the famous host that designing affordable, environmentally friendly homes 'wasn't rocket science' and that most of the other projects featured on the programme were for 'right poncy bastards who want to spend a grand on a shite tap.' It turned out that the whole gorgeous-but-rough-around-the-edges-Yorkshire-man vibe was just what the country was looking for. The episode had gone viral, and Max was the new, extremely reluctant, pin-up of the building industry. To Mia, huge, grumpy men aren't sexy; they're simply terrifying. She knows from experience that even men of average size can be dangerous. If she weren't so desperate, she'd run. She's used to running. Running away is Mia's special talent, together with invisibility—survival techniques she's perfected over the years. So, she'll put up with Max and his moods, ignore him calling her a teen emo freak (he's not to know that her black hair used to be honey blonde or her heavy eyeliner isn't by choice), and just bloody well jog on. Just try to survive. Try to hide. It's easy to hide when nobody really sees you. But what happens when Max finally opens his eyes? Unperfect is a full-length, contemporary, grumpy boss office romance."

Beg, Borrow or Steal

"Jamie is proud of everything he’s achieved. A consultant anesthetist and the Medical Education Director – he’s a pretty big deal. So when one of his medical students falls asleep, right in the middle of a tutorial, he is furious. He’s a bloody good teacher, damn it! Maybe he could have been a little more understanding. Maybe he didn’t have to try and humiliate her. But the shock of how beautiful this particular student was when she finally opened her eyes, and his inappropriate reaction, only fueled his anger. He’s tired of lame excuses from wild party animals burning the candle at both ends, and he’s going to make an example of this one. For Libby, pride is a luxury and beauty is currency. Pregnant at seventeen and an aspiring doctor, she couldn’t afford to be proud, so she cashed in on her looks instead. She will beg, borrow or steal to achieve her dreams and give her daughter the life she deserves, even if she has to forgo sleep – even if she has to leave her dignity behind. Only now that she’s not just sitting in lecture theatres like her first two years of medical school, now that she’s working in a real hospital, Libby is realizing that the thread she’s been hanging onto for so long may be about to snap. The last thing she needs is to have riled the gorgeous, judgmental Head of Medical Education. But there’s only so far you can push yourself, only so much pressure you can be under until you break. Libby’s been on that cliff edge for a while; her health may just tip her over. A kick in the shin from a four-year-old girl and a confrontation with her tearful, exhausted mother soon forces Jamie to see what a bastard he’s been. Libby may not accept his help, but he’s relentless when he wants something, and it’s not long before he realizes that this mother and daughter belong with him. So when a stag night he’s on ends up in the best strip club in England and he sees who the main attraction is, his reaction is explosive. Despite everything, Libby finds she still has some pride left. This man has made her feel small twice now. He won’t be getting a third shot. No matter how gorgeous he is, no matter how persistent …"
