BRAZEN ENGLISH HUSSY, the papers scream. ‘Killed her lover, fed his body to the crocodiles then buried the evidence!’
Who is this man who nobody seems to know? They call him CROCODILE MAN.

Who is the unknown girl who was with him before he died? Why does she hide what happened on that fateful day? She sits alone in a jail cell – mind is in a daze. She will tell no one her secret.

This book follows the consequences of the actions in the first book in this series, Just Visiting. Susan, an English backpacker, comes to Australia, gets caught in a terrifying relationship and barely escapes with her life.

A fisherman finds a unidentified head in a waterhole in Northern Australia. It seems to be the possession of a huge and ancient crocodile which lives there and does not want to let it go.

The police are called to investigate and they too are awed by the crocodile which lives there. At the same time what first appeared to be a crocodile attack turns into murder.

Susan, now home, discovers she is pregnant. She carries her Australian lover’s child. Another glittering relationship beckons. Engaged to the new man her future seems bright.

But her past returns to haunt her. Slowly and inexorably the truth of what happened in Australia emerges. The police have her photo. They are closing in on her identity.

It seems to Susan that the malevolent spirit of the crocodile which pursued her in the first book is slowly taking her over and consuming her mind. She must make yet more terrible choices in order to save herself and her sanity and to avoid another betrayal.

Latin was a dead language — until the aliens arrived.

Out-of-work Latin teacher and borderline alcoholic Austin DeSantis is determined to spend his final days in the arms of a prostitute — that is if the aliens don’t exterminate humanity first.

But when the aliens land at the Vatican, begin speaking Latin, and reveal themselves to be Catholic, the world turns upside down.

Pressed into service as a translator and thrust into the center of humanity’s first contact with a cryptic alien race, Austin must uncover their true intentions before religious turmoil rips the planet apart. But with Austin caught between the Catholic Church, the US military, and an enigmatic alien AI, he’ll have to decide where his loyalties lie as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

PILGRIMS is a sci-fi retelling of Augustine’s Confessions, mixing a high-concept premise à la Children of Time with the ceaseless pacing and rich characterization of Red Rising.

Clementine McKinnon stopped thinking about her high school sweetheart years ago. Why wouldn’t she? It ended badly, and now that she’s a forest ranger in a small Montana town, it’s not like she’s ever going to see him again. Until she does. His firefighting crew turns up at a town potluck, and when their eyes meet over the dinner rolls, the last eight years evaporate.

Hunter Casden thinks about his first love all the time. His post-marines career as a wildlands firefighter keeps him busy, and he’s hardly ever lonely, but he’s never quite managed to get over Clementine. And now he’s not only in her town, but staying next door? There’s no chance.

Torch is a high-heat standalone romance. It’s for fans of firefighters, small towns, great banter, and anyone who loves a second chance. The hero is a former military fireman who’s never forgotten his first love — who happens to be a forest ranger in the town where he’s sent to fight a wildfire. It’s steamy as heck, has a dog named Trout (the dog doesn’t die), and of course there’s an HEA.

Will their differences drive a wedge between them or can Lady Beatrice and DCI Fitzwilliam join forces to catch a killer before it’s too late?
