Forever
Down Under by S.M. Phillips
Serie:
Down Under #3
Blurb
In
the last few months, Jess has been faced with more obstacles than she
ever thought possible. Heartbreak, loss and betrayal to name just a
few. Will her drama fuelled life finally settle into the happy, care
free one that she deserves or is someone hiding and waiting for the
perfect opportunity to ruin it all?
Life for Max hasn't
exactly been plain sailing either. Now that he finally has someone in
his life that means more to him than anything he has ever known, one
thing is for certain, he's not going to let anyone get in the way of
his new found happiness, no matter what the cost.
Demons
are released, pasts are exposed and their future together is only
what they make of it.
Teasers
Excerpt
"I've
got a few errands to run Angel, but I promise that I'll make it up to
you later."
"You
bet you will, Mister. How long will you be gone for anyway?" I
ask, already missing him.
"I'll
only be a few hours, tops. Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go
and see your mum? We could go tomorrow, or even later this
afternoon?"
I'm
hesitant for a moment before I gain enough strength to reply. "I'm
not sure, Max." Uncertainty is evident in my tone, even though
I'm trying my best to hide it. My chest feels heavy at the mere
mention of my mum. I'd love nothing more than to go and see her, to
wrap her in my arms and tell her that everything will be okay. I'd
love to see that she's getting better, to let her know that even
after everything that I'm still here for her, but I can't. She won't
take my calls and down right refuses any visitors.
My
only comfort right now is knowing that she's in the best place and
receiving the best possible care, and it's all thanks to this
devilishly kind and handsome man stood beside me. I'd refused any
kind of offer from him previously, because the way I see it, she's my
mum and I should be the one to make sure she has everything that she
needs. I guess her stubborn gene runs prominently in my veins. I
remember clearly in my mind the way Max looked at me, held me close
and said, "Angel, please. Please allow me to do this one thing
for you. Let me get her what she needs. I don't have a mum to look
after anymore, Jess. I guess I never really have. All I ask is that
you let me help you. I want to help you."
As
much as my stubbornness and pride screamed out for me to say no, and
as much as I wanted to say no, I couldn't do it. I suddenly found
myself unable to say no to him and the pure, raw sadness that swam in
his eyes had me aching for him, aching for his past and the demons
that still currently haunt him to this day.
"Okay,"
I whispered. It was all I could manage, but for Max, it was enough. I
just hope that one day I'll be able to tell him just how grateful I
am.
Bio
Welcome
to the crazy and hectic life that is me: A fun, loving mum of one
special little boy, girlfriend (I'm sure it should be wife by now!!)
and an overall crazy, happy go lucky girl from England.
I
have always had a passion for reading and writing. Wherever I am, my
eBook reader is never far behind, along with a mug of coffee.
I
found myself wanting to write from a young age. I have quite a few
hidden stories on my computer somewhere. Maybe I will have to dig
them out and play around with them at some point.

Escape
Down Under (Down Under 1)
For
Jess Townsend, life is about to get complicated.
Following
on from her split with Josh two months ago, Jess has thrown herself
into her work full throttle, making sure that the one good thing in
her life remains the same.
Suddenly
she is called into an important meeting at work. Absolutely petrified
that she is about to lose her job, she does the only thing she knows
how. Panic on the inside and walk through it with her head held high
on the outside.
Jess
soon discovers she is being offered a once in a lifetime opportunity,
but will she take it?
After
dealing with an ex who can't let go and a broody mysterious Adonis
who won't accept no for an answer, maybe the opportunity of an escape
has arrived at the perfect time.
What
does fate have in store and what obstacles will be thrown her way?
Fallen
Down Under (Down Under 2)
"Fuck."
I slam my fist into the desk before me and feel nothing but rage. I
need to go after her. I need to explain. "But isn't this what
you wanted?" The voice inside my head whispers. "Isn't this
a nice easy way out?"
Everything
Max has done has always been at a cost to others around him. He
wasn't about to make that mistake again. No longer will his selfish
ways punish those close to him. Sometimes it's better to have had and
lost than to never have had at all.
Finally
after what felt like forever, Jess was getting a glimpse of control
over her life again and allowed her defences to come crashing down,
only to have what it guarded to be crushed once again. Now, on the
other side of the world away from her friends, she doesn't know what
to do.
Should
she stay or should she go?
Is
it too late or have they both fallen too far into something that is
completely out of their depths?
OBSESSION
#1
Obsession
knows no bounds...
Anna
Jameson can't wait to escape the hellhole that her cousin has left
her in. Desperate to escape her past, the idea of moving to stay with
Holly whilst she got her head together sounded like the perfect
plan... Until Holly upped and left, leaving Anna to pick up the mess
that she left behind.
Jensen
Blake knows what he wants and will not be told otherwise. Obedience
and control are what he knows best. With demons of his own, he has
spent most of his adult life traveling from place to place the moment
things started to become predictable.
When
Jensen and Anna are pushed together, an instant dislike simmers
between them. Anna hates bad boys. She has witnessed enough of them
to last her a lifetime.
The
sexual attraction between them is evident but will that only make
things harder for them both to handle?
