About The Star Attraction:

Can daydreams become reality?

American Star Mendoza is living in her dream location, Edinburgh, a place she discovered in British novels while growing up. Employed at a trendy city centre coffee shop, the pink-haired, tattooed young woman spends her days fantasising about the handsome, suited businessman she serves daily. He’s totally out of her league but a girl can dream, right?

Fin Hunter is tired of striving for his father’s elusive love and approval, and fed up of following a life path of his old man’s making. When things go too far he decides enough is enough. Realising it’s time to stand on his own two feet, Fin chooses to follow his true passion – music.

When the handsome stranger stops calling in to Star’s coffee shop she’s bereft. But when he shows up again in the most unlikely of places she wonders if her fantasy could now become a reality?

Or is the attraction of opposites doomed to fail?

The Girl in the Scarlet Chair

Leave a Comment

About The Girl in the Scarlet Chair:

She was unlucky in love, recently separated and desperately searching for the man of her dreams. For Clarisse, life became so lonely that she fell in love with his picture on a dating site. For Harry, recently divorced, it carried risk and uncertainty? In this heart-rending search for passion, he travels to Manila, and the city of our affection to meet Clarisse; a woman of immense beauty and problematic past.

“That chair in the photo you’re sitting in…it looks like an antique,” Harry looked straight into her almond eyes and didn’t squint.
“Oh yes, I remember that photo—of all the photos I sent you I’m surprised that’s the one you remember the most?”
“Not important. Don’t worry about it… it’s just a chair.”
“No, tell me. What is it about the chair you found curious…or was it the person sitting on it that took your fancy?” Clarisse smiled and then paused. She wanted an answer and was not going to give up easily.
“Well, its the colour to be honest—never seen a chair with that colour before?”
“You’re very attentive for a male.” She adjusted her posture and leaned forward. “I don’t often get asked that question but since you asked nicely… it’s scarlet.”
“I thought scarlet was an old name?”
“Ha-ha. I think you have been watching too many movies. And by the way, its made of leather—very old leather.”
“It’s old?”
‘Belonged to my grandmother and it’s been in the family ever since.” Her face lit up with a childhood smirk as she gazed into the distance.

In this journey of cross-cultural love, Harry leaves his western-centric norms behind. He is immersed in the city of affection—vibrant, alive, bustling and enjoying the pleasure of being. But will Clarisse have the courage to tell him everything; her past secrets, fears, and inhibition. She has never dated a foreign man before and how will this relationship play out?

This time it’s not just a picture on a dating site and they don’t have the safety of distance to rely upon. They have five days to decide if they are made for each other before Harry leaves back home; or will the mysterious chair of desire decide their fate?

Multi-million-copy bestselling author Willow Rose’s new mystery series ensnares ex FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas in a confounding murder case.

When twelve-year-old Sophie Williams went on a Girl Scout summer camp, she never returned home.
Three months later, her body is found inside her sleeping bag in the most frequented area of Cocoa Beach, and the town is outraged.

The girl isn’t just any child. She’s the town’s most beloved surf idol, and it was believed that she could be the next Kelly Slater.

As another child, the son of a well-known senator is kidnapped, and the parents receive a disturbing video, FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas — who has just returned to her hometown, divorced and out of a job — plunges into the investigation, breaking her promise to her children not to do police work again.

Local law enforcement, with her old flame Matt Miller in charge, are the ones who ask for her help in a case so unsettling that only she can solve it. But the deeper they dig, the deadlier it becomes for Matt and Eva Rae. Soon, everyone she holds dear is in grave danger as this case hits a little too close to home.

Three girls disappear on prom night at the local high school. One of them is the prom queen.

Eva Rae Thomas is chasing her long-lost sister when detective—and boyfriend—Matt Miller asks her to join the investigation of the three girls’ disappearance. They were last seen walking home together after the dance.

When the body of a young girl shows up in her backyard, Eva Rae knows she can no longer watch from the sidelines, and soon she realizes not only is she involved in this investigation, she’s also this killer’s target.

-her newfound love,

-her freedom.

She’s looking for the man they call the Iron Fist. The trail has led her to Miami.

Meanwhile, Miami is under attack. Hundreds of passengers in the Metrorail are exposed to a deathly nerve gas on a peaceful Monday morning.

But by the time she uncovers the chilling truth of how it is all connected, it might be too late.

Secret Admirer by Harlow Layne

Her love could set me free from the shadows…

Seeing Coco Becket for the first time, made my heart start beating again. It changed everything.

Before her I had no purpose, no reason to live.

She was the most beautiful woman I had ever met, I couldn’t help but fantasize about kissing her plump lips or having those sky blue eyes staring back at mine, seeing beyond what I truly was. Broken and ashamed.

My desire for her ran deep, deeper than I expected it too. She was a Goddess and I was simply caught up in her glow, I couldn’t say no. Not to her kindness, and not to my need to be near her.

CoCo was the good in life where I was the bad. She became the sun to my never ending darkness.

When a mysterious situation brings us together, I discover that I’ll do anything to keep her safe. Even if it means risking my own life, to save hers.

Because before her, love was just a word I’d heard in passing…and now I’ll destroy anyone that tries to take her, or that love away from me.

I Eat Men Like Air by Alice Berman

A ferocious and compelling mystery-drama for the #MeToo era in the vein of The Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll

With the snow falling fast on a New Hampshire mansion, seven 20-somethings assemble to celebrate an upcoming marriage in a debaucherous weekend that will change their lives irrevocably. The lavish trip to celebrate Will and Jessica’s upcoming nuptials brings together a cast of characters who know each other from Ivy League schools and childhood Upper East Side haunts: Lulu, an LA-based Instagram influencer; Maxie, a former Park Avenue princess, now Midwestern housewife; Yael, an ER doctor from Ohio; Rob, a colorless Wall Street trader; Will, a morality-obsessed lawyer; Jessica, his perfectionist bride-to-be, and Alex Sable, a lawless bon vivant. Alex, son of a billionaire hedge-fund scion, was the sole witness against his classmate in a serial rape trial 15 years ago, which seems to follow Alex wherever he goes.

By Will and Jessica’s wedding day, four months later, Alex Sable would be dead. In that same house, in a bathtub filled with his blood.

Can Tyler, a well-known podcast reporter, pry his way into their closed-door world, and parse through the secrets that connect the seven like a web? As Tyler attempts to find the truth behind the months leading up to Alex Sable’s dramatic death, he follows the bridal party – whose lives have spiraled in wildly different directions – through the events that brought them to a fateful night.

Told in dual time lines, the months leading up to the wedding and the investigation thereafter, I Eat Men Like Air is a riveting look at the unraveling of a friend group punctured by violence, and a chilling depiction of the rage that festers when it’s kept secret.
