A fangirl tattoo artist finds herself falling head over heels for the client she never saw coming… Loud, brash, and tattooed Sophie Kincaid has always been the odd one out with her stylistic choices. She's as far from 'girlfriend-material' as can be, and she has no idea why that upon meeting calm, stoic and beautiful Tommy (aka Russia) Ivanov that she wants to hold that role in his life. It could be the fact that despite his impeccable style he doesn't look at her like she's some party girl only looking for a good time, or maybe because he seems genuinely interested about her work, about her as a person. Maybe it's the fact that Sophie always goes after what she wants, even if she can't have it. When Russia's past comes calling, Sophie has to wonder if the quiet, controlled and image-conscious man will fight to have her in his life. Can Sophie find love with a man who seems to be her total opposite?

She’s a California beach town girl, what does she know about London high society? Life used to be bliss for Chelsea and Jeremy, working together at home for the first months with their new baby. Then they relocated to London, Jeremy’s resumed his law career, and Chelsea’s never felt so out of place and alone. Being part of her husband’s prominent Pearce family has a whole new meaning now, and she’s thrown into a society she’s totally unsuited for. With her quirky beach vibe and the mishaps she’s prone to, she just isn’t making the cut. But being a social misfit could spell disaster for both Jeremy’s career and their home life. (And it’s screwing up her romance writing too.) How can they ever return to that bliss if she can't be the kind of wife she thinks he needs? The High Tea & Flip-Flops series consists of four books. Each book is a complete story ... no cliffhangers. However, I suggest you read them in order as the books follow the progression of Chelsea and Jeremy's relationship. Book 1: High Tea & Flip-Flops Book 2: Love & Liability Book 3: Open & Honest (Sometimes) Book 4: Always & Never

This is the second book of poetry that I have written. I have had friends experience some of life's greatest challenges. They shared with me their stories, and I have written poems about those events in their life. If you are going through a tough time, I would hope my poems encourage you. If you need a laugh, I am sure that you can find one or two funny stories as well. Have fun reading and trying to figure out the Thoughts on My Mind.

Sheila O'Flanagan's unputdownable bestseller THINGS WE NEVER SAY is a must-read for fans of Marian Keyes and Veronica Henry. Abbey Anderson is stunned when she comes home to find her boyfriend has left her. She has never needed her mother more, but that door is firmly closed. Abbey is feeling very alone - then a charismatic Irishman appears on her California doorstep, with an astonishing revelation about her family. Soon Abbey is on a flight to Dublin, looking for answers to questions she never knew she should be asking. Across the Atlantic, Fred Fitzpatrick's adult children are oblivious to the shock heading their way. They're focused on their father, who is increasingly cantankerous in his old age. Sometimes it's only thoughts of his fortune that make it bearable to be with him. But Fred's story is not the open book they all thought it was. Nor is his will. As a shadowy crime emerges from history, Abbey and the strangers about to become part of her life will say, and do, things they never thought they would.
