Phoenix - out now

 My new short story Phoenix, is out now at Untreed Reads. The buy link is below.
 

Synopsis:

Alone in a remote Scottish lighthouse, author Dani Maxwell has one thing on her mind: getting her new book finished in blissful isolation. But she hasn't banked on the distracting qualities of her hot landlord...

Excerpt:

The sky grew prematurely dark. The wind howled around the edifice and the sea churned below, dashing itself over and over again against the rocks surrounding the lighthouse. 

Dani Maxwell sat dubiously on the window seat clutching a mug of cocoa and watching the elements do their best to rock her temporary home from its perch. Had this been a good idea? She’d wanted solitude to write her next book certainly, but she hadn’t been able to leave the lighthouse for two days and she very much wanted to explore its environs, to walk, commune with nature while she thought about the tangled plot of her latest novel.

She sighed. If only the rain and the wind would just let up for an hour. If the sun would only peep through the clouds. Was it too much to ask for? She climbed from the window seat and went back to the laptop. She was greedy, she knew that. This was the perfect place. She couldn’t expect the weather too. Not in Scotland in autumn.

A sudden banging startled her from the screen. She cocked her head, listening, trying to work out if the storm was taking the roof off or dislodging the satellite dish.

The sound came again and she realised belatedly what it was. A fist upon wood. A visitor.

She got up, descending the narrow spiral staircase two flights to the front door before she swung open the heavy oak, peering around it nervously. This was the first time in a week someone had knocked on the door.

A tall, well-built man stood there huddled against the rain and wind, the hood of a parka pulled up, a scarf over his nose and mouth so only his eyes showed, pale and almost colourless in the drab light.

“Good afternoon,” he said in a gruff voice, Scots accent virtually impenetrable. “How are you settling in?”

My short festive story is now available in this erotic collection.



Designs on the Boss by Poppy Summers
Genevieve has lived with a crush on her sexy boss, Michael, for two years. He’s married to his job and reclusive, and the rumours about him aren’t encouraging – asexual, gay, plain uninterested. At the Christmas party, she’s nominated to persuade him out of his office to join his employees for a drink. Tapping hesitantly at the door, what she finds behind it isn’t quite what she expected.

But if Heather’s going to buy the lie they’re really a couple, they have to attend the ball as a couple – and with champagne flowing, passions run high, and Eddie and Summer find themselves in bed together. The sex is mind-blowing, but is it simply the result of taking part in a charade? Can their sham love affair turn into the real thing, or is it all just a masquerade?
