Theirs for Christmas

I, Andrew Belmont, am desperately in love with the one man I can’t have.

We’re rugby teammates.
Our parents are married.
And worst of all? He’s madly in love with his girlfriend.

I’ve sat on the sidelines long enough watching their picture perfect relationship, but I’ve seen things others miss. The cracks in their adoration. The sticking plasters they use to hide their discontent. And when Jake confides in me, I can’t help but take my chance. My opportunity to insert myself between them in the guise of helping him keep Sarah.

But I’m playing with fire. The closer I grow to him, the more I fall for them both. My world’s going to blow up in my face and I risk losing them both.

Dark Obsessions

It’s going to be a killer of a good time... Sweet Maggie Hamilton comes from a long line of people paid to professionally end lives. Unfortunately, Maggie is a family failure. Age? Twenty-nine. Kill count? A deeply embarrassing zero. So when her father decides to marry her off to her psychotic ex at thirty to help her take over the family business, Maggie hatches a plan for the world’s worst fake relationship to buy some time. Which is where broad-shouldered, bad-tempered, offensively attractive Roman Ellis comes in. Maggie’s neighbour, who is about as interested in her as he is in a slow, painful death. But Maggie isn’t offering him a choice. With Roman tied to the passenger seat, she’s taking him as her plus one to her father’s second wedding in the Highlands. All Maggie has to do is survive the week without dying, murdering anyone or letting anyone in a house of professional killers know that her serious long-term boyfriend is actually her hostage. Unfortunately for her, Roman isn’t going to make it that easy. Readers LOVE Effie Campbell: ‘Funny, sweet, bloody, and spicy.

How to Kidnap a Fake Date

Two women. One asylum. Deadly secrets.

When nineteen-year-old Ginny’s mother abandons her at Wellard Asylum, she isn’t sick. She’s pregnant. Behind the iron gates patients cower, the rules are broken, and the basement hides evils that would make monsters squirm. Ginny only has one goal: keep her baby safe, no matter what.

Nurse Nancy once believed hospitals were for healing the vulnerable. At Wellard, she’s learned to keep her head down while the powerful play god. That is, until Ginny shows up. Young, scared, and pretty, Ginny gets under Nancy’s skin fast. Protecting a patient means stepping out of orchestrated lines, and Nancy will be forced to choose where her loyalty lies.

As storms gather, Ginny and Nancy are pulled into a tightening spiral of control, lust, and institutional cruelty. And sometimes, the only way out is to become the worst thing you can imagine.

Dark, visceral and relentless, UNWELL is a psychological horror novel exploring the descent into the places we lock people, and the stories we tell ourselves to justify holding the key.

Open the gates to Wellard, but be careful, few ever escape.
