A gritty, suspenseful romance novella.What's really worth fighting for, when one second is all you have left? Norman Smithson is at the end of the line. His wife left him, women don't look at him, he was made redundant, and at forty, he could be just that little bit slimmer. He would be a has-been if he'd ever been a 'was' in the first place. He's not the Alpha male of the 21st century - or of any century. He was the chubby oddball who used to sit silently at the back of the class so he wouldn't get picked on. Rosa is a dreadlocked, tattooed and pierced twenty-something, who uses her image as armour to keep everyone away from every broken thing about her. But her past is about to catch up with her ... at the exact moment Norman finds himself in completely the wrong place, at the worst possible time. One gunshot, one scramble for life, one unlikely couple, one very long night ... can one damaged woman and one ordinary man, find the extraordinary in the very last second they're given? NOTES: This is a novella at just under 40,000 words, packed with emotion and heat. Contains strong language and mature situations. Written in British English.

With the help of Evie Gold, the kind, young woman who found him, he starts a new life - a second chance, a clean slate. A bond burgeons between them. But disturbing dreams of dark deeds become waking recountings. A blackness is uncoiling - seductive, familiar and dangerously provocative. An ancient craving stirs; an old addiction rises. Nothing is as it seems, and as reality crumbles, Luc finds himself asking, not just who he is, but... Who is Evie?

Basking in beaches, sunshine, old friendships, and the south coast summer breeze, this is the second book in Dianna's heartfelt romance series set in Cornwall, about loving big, living big, and trusting big. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith... Pippa knew her life had all but ended seven months ago, when she answered the phone call no one ever wants to receive: her husband had been in a fatal car accident. Left physically and mentally disabled, David now sits in a care home while she struggles to keep herself together as she brings up their three kids. And on top of the grief, there's the guilt... she should be there for him, too. One Christmas alone, one Valentine's, one spring, and now summer's nearly over... Can she face it all again? Jimmy's known Pippa since before they were teens. Best friends with her younger brother and two years her junior, she's never had eyes for him, and when she fell in love with David, Jimmy finally accepted she would never be his. In fact, he swore off committed relationships altogether, for his path took him down a different route. No one needs to be burdened with the cross he chose to bear. But his torch for Pippa never went out. And maybe someone, somewhere, knows it, for words scribbled down and said out loud in a moment of desperation, might just be working their magic, about to shine a light on everything they could have ... if they're prepared to take a leap of faith...
