A burning passion that cannot be ignored…
Nine years ago Beth Lawrence was a pretty, fun-loving college student, and the apple of her parents’ eye. That was before she met Niall Joseph, a gorgeous Irish art student who for one hot summer turned her world upside down.
Almost a decade later, Beth is living in London and desperately trying to forget her past. But then Niall walks back into her life, reigniting a desire that threatens to engulf them both.
Faced with a choice between her reliable, steady life and the unexpected joy that Niall offers, Beth finds herself torn. Can they remain just good friends, or is their connection too strong to be ignored?
Broken Chords (Alex and Lara’s Story)
When happy-ever-after is only the beginning…
Lara Cartwright thinks she has it all. Married to a sexy rock star, with a new baby and a burgeoning career, she should be happy, shouldn’t she? But life isn’t a fairy tale and Lara’s perfect world is slowly falling apart.
Alex Cartwright is talented, tattooed and passionate. A family man, he adores his wife and baby, but can’t shake off his need for success. When his band is offered a lucrative tour of the US, the distance growing between him and Lara isn’t only measured in miles. As their baby falls seriously ill, Lara finds herself wondering if Alex really cares for them at all.
Emotional and absorbing, Broken Chords is a story of desire, redemption and the crazy notion that love can still conquer all.
