⭐ 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.

𝘈𝘹𝘦𝘭 𝘡𝘦𝘭𝘮𝘢𝘯

Stepping in to protect my younger brother was a no-brainer. Now I have to pay the consequences and repair my tarnished reputation. That means facing my demons and spending ten days at sea on a cruise ship. At least it’s for a good cause.

𝘒𝘺𝘭𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯

Thanks to my interfering family, I’m thrust into a world of extravagance and dazzling spectacle. I’d much rather be at home in the vineyard. That is, until I find an undeniable connection with a gorgeous, brooding passenger. Imagine my surprise when I find out he’s an award-winning performer. Why on earth would he want to spend time with me?

It’s only a cruise, a bit of fun, not a life commitment, and as my brother said --we’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a good time—so I’m determined to enjoy the limited time we have. I just wish my heart got the message.

𝘚𝘶𝘯-𝘒𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 is a sweet and sexy story where two worlds collide in an opposites attract, celebrity/ordinary guy, rockstar romance set amongst the fun and chaos of a Pride Cruise.
