Come-Back

Life isn't always responsible... After his mother tragically dies and his deadbeat father goes off the rails, nineteen-year-old Micky is left to care for his disabled little brother, Flynn. Juggling college, a dead-end job and Flynn's special needs means Micky has to put his bad-boy past behind him and be the responsible adult to keep his brother out of care. He doesn't have time for anything else in his life. Until he meets Dan...

Misdemeanor

Fate can be written in a tea bag too. Mark Johnson is hitting his forties and is stuck in a rut. He's had the same boring office job for ten years, with no motivation or inclination to change it. The same crumbling house for ten years, with no cash or know-how to fix it. And the same Facebook status for five years—it's complicated. It isn't. He's single. He just doesn't want to correct it. That would be admitting defeat. The day a tea bag splats onto his face whilst he's emptying the dregs of his morning cuppa at Macy's Tea Shoppe is the one that makes him question each of his current life choices...the tea bag and that the shop is currently being run by one rather friendly, rather hunky, but rather young Australian named Bradley Summers. Tea has never tasted so good.

Love & Tea Bags

Someone has to be responsible. Micky O'Neill and Dan Peters now live in Wales, bringing up Micky's disabled little brother away from small-minded Heathwood and close to Micky's deceased mother's family. Things are fine...until Dan begins his dream career as an English teacher at the local school and Micky, main caregiver to Flynn, is isolated in a village that only serves to remind him of his mother's absence. With Flynn's health deteriorating and his needs becoming more complex, everything is tested to its limits and Dan seeks solace in a friendship with a fellow teacher, sending Micky into further turmoil. After an accusation is leveled against Micky and it seems he's slipping back into his old ways, he and Dan are torn asunder. To repair the rift, both have to accept responsibility—for life.

Reformed

Love isn't always responsible. After Micky O'Neill is remanded in custody for breaching his court order, his already tempestuous relationship with Dan Peters is tested to the limits. Having to battle their way through a court case that could end with Micky in jail, social workers breaking up the family home and the return of Micky's deadbeat father, it seems everything is set to destroy their relationship before it even has the chance to start. With such high stakes involved, not just for Micky but for once-burned, twice-shy Dan, they both have to learn that falling in love isn't always responsible.

Responsible Adult Box Set

It takes more than a shared past to make a future together. When Kwesi—Kez—Zakari, cardiology consultant secretary at St. Cross Children's Hospital, hears that his aunt's building has caught fire, his settled life is turned upside down. Not only is his aunt now homeless, but he's also thrust back in contact with someone from his past—someone he's been trying to forget for five years...and failed miserably. Callum Wright never seems to get things right. He needs to do one more wrong thing before he can get his life back in order. Instead, he undergoes a literal trial by fire, and choosing the path of good returns his old friend to his life. Kez's council-estate-to-professional-world transformation reminds Callum of how he's never been able to get anything right...least of all his feelings for the man. Kez hasn't got over the reckless act of betrayal that caused their separation five years ago. Atoning for the guilt he still harbours at having turned his back on his friend in the past, he helps Callum get his future in some sort of order—a difficult feat when all those quashed feelings resurface for a man who can't, and shouldn't, ever be trusted. All Kez can do is repeat that this time, he really, seriously, most definitely, won't be fooled again. Reader advisory: This book contains references to drugs, threats of violence and scenes of fire and the aftermath of fire. There are references to male sex workers, homophobic insults and verbal abuse of a disabled character.
