The 5 Boroughs Series - Book 1
Donna Giannino knows what it’s like to “walk through the fire”. She’s a survivor. She has the scars to prove it. And although her physical scars have mended, it’s the wounds to her soul that won’t heal. Once full of life, she’s isolated herself from the world outside of the thick walls she’s created for herself. Unable to overcome her past, especially the night that left both her body and her spirit broken; she’s living a half-life, where the only way she feels safe is in her little bubble. After all, there’s wine and chocolate there.
By day, she’s an editor at a publishing company in Manhattan. By night, she’s a Brooklynite shut in. The only variances are scheduled ahead of time and only happen if they involve her family or one of her close friends. It’s the only way she feels safe. But is living a half-life really living? How do you make yourself whole again? How do you learn to trust again? How do you overcome the fear left behind after a brutal attack?

The 5 Boroughs Series - Book 2
Five seconds. Apparently that’s how long it takes to come to the realization that your girlfriend of five years is nothing but an illusion. And once that illusion is stripped away all that remains is an ugly soul crammed inside a filthy hateful psycho.
​
Sam Cooper is a down to earth kind of guy. He’s not overly cautious, but he’s also not one to throw caution to the wind. In all his thirty-six year, the “craziest” thing he’d ever done was go get matching tattoos with his best friend when he was back home in New Zealand when he was seventeen. So when things takes an unexpected twist after his brother’s wedding, he deems himself “off the market” and tries to organize the upheaval that is his life.

The 5 Boroughs Series - Book 3
​
Murphy Cooper is a self-made man. Raw talent and an undying passion for music got him into one of the top ten music conservatories in the world. A head for business got him where he is today, owner of his own small record label that seems to grow by the day.
Alex York is a talented, self-taught musician. She travels around playing small clubs, never staying in one place for too long. It suits her well because always being on the go, means no one knows where you are.
At a young age, Alex learned that trust is hard to find and should never be freely given. So, when her nightmarish past finally catches up with her, can she risk putting her trust in Murphy? Will he hear her call?

The Londoners - Book 2
​
Why couldn’t the past just stay … in the past? Where it belonged. Locked up in its cage in a bricked over vault where she’d thrown it when she’d arrived in London all those years ago.
Matilda Elizabeth Wentworth, the somewhat shy, craven teenager boarded the train in St Leonards-on-Sea. By the time it arrived in London, she emerged as Mattie Sutherland, a woman that refused to be told what to do, how to live, or who to love. Over the last decade, she’s built a new life, created a new family, and she was happy.
Or was she?
A chance encounter with a travel vlogger has her questioning not just what it means to be happy, but what a good relationship looks like. And then she questions everything when she finds out she has a stalker. Is her new friend tied to this man that’s following her around? The winter hols are bad enough, she doesn’t need all this on top of it! And just when she thinks everything is going to be alright, her stalker shows up at the annual New Year’s Eve do she and her best mate Ash have – and he isn’t alone.
