⭐ RELEASE DAY for Runaway! ⭐


I’m excited to announce that Runaway is now live!

Runaway is part of the Dreamspinner Press World of Love collection. The World of Love stories are “contemporary romances spotlighting the unique features, qualities and attributes of a specific country as well as the universality of love wherever it’s found.”
Release days are always a little stressful as excitement mixes with nervousness, but I was thrilled to see an early review from a review site that left me with a big smile. Here are a couple of snippets from the review.

“How can I even begin to describe the way my heart feels after reading this book? I loved this story so much, and Nate and Damien even more. I need so much more of these two characters because I was in no way near ready for their story to end. I could easily read a whole series of books about these two men and their lives. It was a wonderfully beautiful second chance love story that had my head and heart seduced from the prologue. I fell completely in love more and more with each word I read.”
“I know I’m going to sound like a broken record, but I cannot compliment the author enough for writing such a fantastic and heartwarming story that gave me all of the feels. It was a brilliantly thought out story of self-acceptance and following your heart.”

So a big thank you to OptimuMM book review site for making my release day feel extra special 🙂
As part of the release, I’ve arranged a little blog tour where I share more about my beautiful city of Sydney where a lot of the story takes place. I’ll link to the various blogs at the bottom of this post so you can follow along if you are so inclined.
There’s also a giveaway where you can win a $10 Amazon gift card. Click here to enter.

Blurb

Dr Nathan Powell is ready to settle down near his family, and hopefully find the man of his dreams. He returns to the small coastal town where he grew up, but while life is simpler than it was in the city, there are also complications—like patients’ reactions to an openly gay doctor. And like running into Nate’s first love, Damien, an out-and-proud local business owner who is unwilling to be any man’s dirty secret. The reunion reignites old desire even while it stirs up Nate’s guilt over the way things ended with Damien.
When Nate’s nephew runs away, Damien accompanies Nate on his mission to find the young man. The drive to Sydney, and the search of the city, gives Nate time to reconnect with Damien—and to wonder if he made the right decision years ago—when he determined a future for them was impossible. Is a fresh start realistic for two men in their forties? But before he can ponder the second chance they’ve been given, Nate must locate his nephew.
World of Love: Stories of romance that span every corner of the globe.

A story about chronic pain, healing, forgiveness, A story about chronic pain, healing, forgiveness, and choosing love every single day.
If you love romances with emotional depth, Riding the Waves is for you.💙 

𝘼 𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨…

Owen Hewitt thought he had weathered every storm life could throw at him, but the last twelve months have tested him like never before. His six-year relationship with Sebastian Carmichael, the love of his life, is crumbling under the weight of Owen's injury-induced depression and chronic pain. Once a vibrant and active partner, Owen now feels like a burden, believing he's holding the younger Sebastian back.

Desperation sets in when Sebastian, seeking solace and clarity, retreats to their holiday house on the Tasmanian coast. The distance between them feels insurmountable, and Owen fears it's the end of their love story. But as nature unleashes its fury in the form of a devastating tsunami, the end of their relationship might be the least of their worries.

𝘙𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 is a story of love's endurance against all odds. It has themes of natural disaster, rescue romance, hurt/comfort, and the dynamic of an age-gap relationship.
