ABOUT THE BOOK -
Two years ago, Kaidence Hadaway thought she had met the man she would spend the rest of her life with.
But when Mitchell Stevenson lost his job a year later and has to move in with her, she is thrust into a life of abuse.
Without her parents around and with her friends gradually driven away, she takes the punishment she feels she deserves until fate brings a police officer to her door, who makes it his mission to rescue her.
But just when she decided it’s time to get out, Mitchell discovers the secret she’s been hiding.
Will she make it out alive? Or will she be so close only to fail?
TWISTED FIXATION (Part of the Illusive Lovers Series) - mybook.to/TwistFix
ABOUT THE BOOK -
Single parent Olivia Cavanagh has been happily raising the child she had in her teens. Content with her life, she has no desire to date.
When her teenage daughter, Andrea, signs her up on a dating app, a past trauma causes Olivia to hesitate. But after a month of badgering, she agrees to meet police officer Warren Jacobs for a coffee.
Olivia enjoys the sweetness of her new romance, unaware she’s being watched from the shadows. The stakes are raised when a dangerous individual from her past is released from prison. Both of her watchers are determined to have a piece of her, but it’s only when Olivia goes missing the severity of their attention is realised.
But which of the men in her life has taken her, and will Andrea find her mother before it's too late?
**Also available in Kindle Unlimited - as are all my books**

Excerpt of After You've Gone
Here's a taste of what you're in for with my latest release, After You've Gone.
Buy link - mybook.to/AYG
Walking into the dining room, she found breakfast spread out on the twelve-seater table, the same as every morning. She picked a strawberry from the bowl of fruit that had been prepared by the kitchen staff. ‘I plan to sit outside this morning,’ she told Sarah, the server standing by waiting to be set to task.
Sawyer was aware she was being a brat and she didn’t care. The only thing that she was able to control at this point were the staff – the rest of her life was planned by her husband. She had to fall in line with every single whim Hunter had, playing the dutiful wife she had never truly been, even when they were newlyweds.
Walking outside, the summer sun didn’t help the hangover that knocked against her skull, but she refused to sit inside. The house triggered her anxiety because it screamed of the invisible shackles she wore around her ankles. If Hunter Livingston had his way, she would be contained within the walls forever, only to be brought to life when he needed her. But Sawyer had never been one to conform – at least not since her parents had promised her to the man she was now bonded to.
This was her life, she just happened to have it with the wrong man. As far as Sawyer was concerned, she should be married to Leighton Sinclair, the boy she had been dating in school. But Abraham, her father, had deemed him unsuitable for her because her mother had slept with his father when they had been teenagers. And, of course, there was the small matter of the deal Abraham had made with Oscar Livingstone, Hunter’s father, to get him out of a difficult position.
Walking to the table on the patio behind the house, Sawyer watched as the staff rushed to set breakfast out in front of her. The large parasol provided much-needed shade from the brightness of the sun, which helped her hangover somewhat, but she felt the dehydration at the back of her throat. Sawyer reached for another strawberry to bring life her tastebuds, which were awaiting her coffee laced with a medicinal shot of courage – the shot that would help her withstand sitting across from Hunter while they ate.
Waiting for the appearance of her husband, she grabbed a croissant to soak up some of the lingering alcohol she had drunk the day before and broke a piece off. Hunter was due to leave on yet another business trip and then she could go back to bed. His extended trips away were the only reason she had made it two years into the marriage.
After getting hitched, Sawyer had been expecting to be able to continue her relationship with the love of her life behind her husband’s back to dull the pain of her loveless matrimony. When Leighton took the offer to join a band who spent most of their time on the road, she had had to settle for the occasional rendezvous whenever he wasn’t on tour – and lucky for her, he was coming home at the end of the week.
