For the first time since university, James and Roland's paths through life – one drawn in straight lines, the other squiggled and meandering – began to cross…
James Drayton has always found things too easy. By the time he leaves university, he's still searching for a challenge worthy of his ambitions, one that will fulfil the destiny he thinks awaits him.
Roland Mackenzie, on the other hand, is an impulsive risk-taker, a charismatic drifter with boundless enthusiasm but a knack for derailing his own attempts to get started in life.
When a chance encounter in a pub reunites these old acquaintances, it sets them on an unpredictable course through the upheavals of the 21st century, and triggers an unlikely alliance. Against the backdrop of the financial crash and its aftermath, they strive to create something that outlasts them, something that will matter.
Drayton and Mackenzie is a stunningly ambitious, immediately engaging and ultimately deeply moving novel both about trying to make your mark on the world, and about how a friendship might be the most important thing in life.

    Some betrayals cut too deep. Some darkness never fades. 
    Seventeen-year-old Lauren Daniels never wanted to stand out. But when financial hardship forces her to leave her small private school for the elite halls of Reddington High, she’s thrown into a world where money rules, secrets fester, and popularity comes with a price.

Lauren soon learns the truth: in Reddington, friendship is a game and losing means destruction. 
    A cruel betrayal shatters her world, leaving her drowning in trauma, lies, and manipulation. The only person she has left is her mother—her last tether to the girl she used to be. 
    But Lauren is done playing by their rules. She’s not just going to survive. She’s going to overcome. 
    A gripping psychological thriller packed with drama, chilling suspense, and the twisted ties of betrayal and revenge, Hours of Darkness is a haunting tale of power, deception, and the darkness we all carry inside.

    He broke his own rules for a one-night stand. Now he wants more, but her heart belongs to a rival he can’t beat. 
    I don’t do one-night stands. But when a blue-eyed chanteuse knocks me off my feet, I break my own rule. When I wake up the next morning, though, she’s gone, and I have no way to find her. 
    Lily’s trapped in a past she can’t escape. One night of passion with me seemed to help her forget—until dawn broke. She ran without looking back. When chance has us bumping into each other in front of a strip club (it’s not what it sounds like), she realizes she’s misjudged me—and maybe even her own heart. But she’s not ready to bury her specters, and what started as a one-night stand is threatening to bloom into something that will unravel her carefully laced-up world. 
    Between my obligations to my family and my hockey team, a lot’s riding on my shoulders. I’m struggling to meet everyone’s expectations, and Lily’s a complication I don’t need. I know I should let her and that one night we shared fade into a pleasant memory, but I can’t get her out of my mind. I’m determined to win her over the same way I dominate on the ice: with patience and persistence. Deep in my heart, I think this girl is worth it. The problem is, I’m facing off against a rival I can’t outplay. 
    I have to convince her to let go of the ghosts haunting her, or she just might freeze me out forever.

    Ice wanted only one thing in her life, and that was Levi—and maybe someone who was a blend of both of them. When he asked her to marry him, she was thrilled, but now she’s struggling to pin down a wedding date for fear he’d been caught up in the moment and didn’t really want to go through with it. When the compound is attacked, and they are forced to go on the offense, she realizes what’s truly important. 
      
    Levi is infuriated that Ice refuses to set a wedding date. He’s always loved her, and there will never be anyone else for him. This fact is reinforced as they come under attack by a military group trying to overthrow a government that he aided. 
    As the bullets fly and the body count mounts, who says you can’t have your cake and your icing too!

    "Recommended."- Binge On Books"Outstanding storytelling." - Joyfully Jay ReviewsAngus Donohue doesn't want to be a warlock. He believes draining demons for magic is evil, but it's a dangerous opinion to have - his father is a powerful and well-connected warlock, and Angus is expected to follow the family tradition. His only way out is to fail the demon summoning class. Failure means expulsion from the Warlock College. Despite Angus's best efforts to fumble the summoning, it works. Although not the way anyone expects. Angus's demon, Saka, is a powerful mage with his own need for a warlock. Saka wants to use Angus in a ritual to rebalance the magic that is being stripped from Demonside by warlocks. If Angus survives his demon's desires and the perils of Demonside, he'll have to face the Warlock College and their demands. Angus must choose: obey the College and forget about Demonside or trust Saka and try to fix the damage before it's too late. Whatever he does, he is in the middle of a war he isn't qualified to fight. For readers who like urban fantasy with alternate worlds and forbidden magic.
