CHAPTER   2 The taxi dropped me at Charles De Gaulle airport with five minutes to spare. Their flight would have landed fifteen minutes earlier; nine twenty. Before the cab picked me up, I logged onto my laptop to check if there were any delays. Fortunately, after trying five minutes of browsing, I found that none had been reported. Allowing the girls time to get through passport control, customs and then baggage reclaim, I reckoned on twenty to twenty five minutes before the

*****WARNING: EXPLICIT ADULT CONTENT***** EXCERPT Briggs POV From where I’m sitting, I have a perfect view of my toy. My gaze is glued to her body’s rhythmic movements to the music. The dress she is wearing making her ass look like it’s begging to be squeezed. The tight, strapless dress is pushing up her breasts in a delicious way. My cock stirs. She is a beautiful girl and right now she looks downright delicious. Thoughts of her lips wrapped around my cock swirl through my m

Chapter 7 There’s a Storm Coming A warning email flashed across Della’s phone about an impending tropical storm headed to hit Grenada on the 7th from the Caribbean Weather Alert Network. Damn! Not now. I’ve got to have all staff check supplies and inform guests, should they choose to leave or stay. Della looked at the radar maps closely, and it appeared the storm was on a path that was predicted to hit the island. She knew she had to activate her emergency plan and had to ho

Chapter 1 NEW DIRECTION Seated in the third chair from the door, Mildred clutched her bag that held the folder of recommendations, and in her other hand, the completed application. It took effort to maintain a calm expression as her mind reeled with anticipation. Mildred never expected she would be looking for work at the age of seventy-one, but there was no denying her need when she had to consider hocking her wedding ring to buy groceries. She had loved that old man, but he

A FIGHTING CHANCE An Excerpt Connor Malcolm O’Grady stepped ashore off the ferry at Cairnryan. It was early, far earlier than he wanted to be up and doing. He looked around. This really was the arse end of nowhere. But it got him into Scotland with least attention. He left his home in Ireland to check on his Scottish business interests. He couldn’t understand why his gear wasn’t reaching his distributors. The tip-off from bloody Edna Hope better be right. He hadn’t expected P

'MY 3 WISHES' Typing, typing, typing away...."The Book of 3 Wishes" which I told you about in January, is finally turning into something that looks and feels like a book. But guess what...I'm working with the speed of a turtle. Not because I'm tired. Not because I'm lazy. Not because I couldn't care less about my book. The reason is that when I sort out the answers that people from all over the world have sent to me in age categories, I don't just copy and paste. I read them.

Touch of the Whimsy Prologue Man shaped, but star filled, the figure emerged unseen from the ink-sea, making its way unfalteringly across sand, shingle, and kelp-covered rocks, then onwards into an entanglement of trees. It did not pause, nor was its progress slowed by the dense undergrowth, as it penetrated the black of the night jungle. Nor did it leave any trace of its presence on the fresh wet sand. A stranded starfish, patiently awaiting the turn of the tide, briefly exp

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 9 My blood froze when I rode up to my garage to see the door open.  My gulp was audible as I eased off on the throttle.  The metal shutter was swinging awkwardly in the frame, ripped away and bent to show the strength of the person who had torn it down. My garage lay open for all the world to see, as if my soul was on display.   My bike engine cut out and I drew in a deep breath, dismounting on shaking legs.  I knew who would be waiting for me. “Run or fi

BEYOND THE MIST It was a very hot and sultry summer’s day. The Thompson family were halfway around the UK, on a well-earned holiday tour in their recently renovated camper van. Inside the van, the heat was oppressive – unbearable at times. Adrian turned to his wife, Julia. “If you’re all agreeable, I think we should have a stop for a couple of hours. The heat through this window is overbearing, and even with all the windows down, there doesn’t seem to be a breath of air in he
