Ready for a Hot Aussie Night?
Coming November 23rd!!
The second book in The De Luca Sisters trilogy. And the book that broke my writer’s block!!!
What’s cooking for Christmas? A hot serving of insta-lust with a side order of fake fiancé.
Life-long anxiety isn’t going to stop Elisa De Luca from enjoying her sister’s Christmas engagement party. She’s got a process, and as long as things don’t get too chaotic she’ll be okay. And then, she suddenly finds herself engaged to a hot, hot, hot Aussie—five minutes after meeting him—and chaos is the word of the day.
Super-chef Angus Daniels doesn’t do relationships, but the second he meets Elisa De Luca he’s drawn to her. Big time. When the shy American inexplicably saves him from a sharkish TV producer hellbent on making him the titular star on a bachelor show, Angus begins to question everything he thought he wanted.
A fake engagement requires a fake relationship, but it doesn’t take long for Elisa and Angus to realise there’s nothing fake about what’s happening between them. But when reality feeds baggage, and anxiety nibbles at certainty, love at first sight might not be enough for a happy Christmas. Or a Happy Ever After, full stop.

***A Note from Lexxie: Insta-love is the name of the game in The De Luca Sisters trilogy. That powerful moment that shakes both people to the core and changes everything for them in a single look. Buckle up. Things are about to get fast and wild and fun.***

Along Came An Aussie
Bria De Luca lives life without a safety-net. As a professional skydiver, she’s always ready to take a leap of faith. Even a bad landing that breaks a few bones, and a breakup that shakes her confidence a bit, isn’t enough to stop her from living her life full throttle. When she meets a hot Aussie at a Halloween party, she’s ready to ditch the costumes and play a little trick and treat.
Owen Blackthorne is in the States to visit his sister and to try and keep his mind off a life-changing phone call he’s waiting for. When the most amazing woman he’s ever met grabs his attention at a rooftop party, he decides she’s the distraction he was looking for.
Neither of them are looking for anything serious, and love at first sight only happens in the movies, so why does whatever’s sparking between them start to feel so…significant?

Love and Other Responsibilities
Randi Lockwood is kicking butt. Her teaching career is going great, she’s on track to finish her Master’s degree and she’s fine with being single at thirty-five. And then BAM, suddenly there’s a single dad and a whole lotta unexpected feelings in her life. Seriously, why the hell does her heart get all gooey over the guy? And how does she cope with the fact he’s everything she didn’t know she wanted, with a whole lot of baggage thrown in?
Being a widower and raising two daughters at forty-two isn’t easy, but Aussie Brody Thorton is doing his best. His kids are the focus of his life, and that’s the way it should be. Anyway, he has no time for romance. Even if everything about his daughter’s high school teacher makes his heart hammer. True love only ever happens once. Right?
What happens when love comes with other responsibilities? Because Brody’s memories of the past and Randi’s plans for the future might destroy any hope of happiness for them as a couple. And that’s only the start…

Undeniable
Chase is tough, snarky, witty and fiercely loyal to her family. She is also hearing impaired, which makes the world around her sound like white noise a lot of the time. But that’s okay, she can deal. It’s not like she’s actually deaf, and she’s learned to lip read…when it suits her.
What she can’t deal with is guys like Caden, who think their looks and charm will win her over. They won’t because Chase has zero interest in pursuing a relationship with someone who’s leaving the country soon. What would be the point?
Well, there is the fun they have together. The way Caden shows he cares about things greater than himself, like abandoned dogs. There’s his smile, his eyes and his wicked sense of humor.
In fact, if Chase ever admitted it to herself, she might say Caden is just about perfect.
But how could a perfect guy possibly ever want someone who isn’t?

Unforgettable
Brendon Osmond’s an optimist, a fitness geek, a man with a plan and the drive to achieve it. He’s sure he knows everything there is to know about his life and where it’s headed—until he gets one brief text.
A text from her.
Amanda. The girl who broke his heart.
‘Thinking of you.’
Just three little words, but they’re enough to make Brendon drop everything and head half way around the world to see her.
Acting only on gut instinct, nothing can prepare Brendon for the truth he’s about to learn.
A truth Amanda kept from him for almost two years. A truth who has Brendon’s eyes and claims his heart in an instant.
A truth that comes with a devastating diagnosis with the power to destroy everything he never knew he wanted or held dear.

For Raphael, life is all upside. He’s on the fast track to success and nothing can stop him—except his unexpected love for a girl who’s convinced she’ll hold him back.
When Maci and Raphael are drawn irresistibly together, they’ll both have to redefine everything they thought they knew about life, love and happy ever after.

Always…Lexxie
After years of being published under the pen name, Cherie M Hudson, the Always series is finally becoming Lexxie Couper books. Yay!
But why? When I wrote the Always series, I didn’t think they were essentially Lexxie books. They were written in 1st POV for starters, had younger characters, and dealt with some very non-romance issues. But the more the years have passed, and the more I’ve read over these three books, the more I’ve realised they ARE Lexxie books. Because when it comes down to it, I wrote them. And who am I? Lexxie. Right?

The Good Girl in Trouble
I was going to marry Ronnie Underwood.
And it was going to be the best moment of my life. The truest moment of my life. Nothing would ever top this.
She deserved something incredible and incredible was what I was going to give her.
Pulling all the strings I had, plus asking my friend Dr Lila Winchester to pull a few of her own—which, given Lila’s interesting past CIA life, were impressive and influential—I’d arranged the most amazing, intimate wedding on the most beautiful, secluded beach in Key West. Who knew an ex-cage fighter, gang member and blackmailed criminal informant could be so…well, romantic?
