Accidentally Perfect
Accidentally Perfect Elizabeth Stevens
Everyone’s convinced the hottest guy in school’s going to ask me out - that Mason and I would be the perfect couple, that he’s my John Cusack. Except, he hasn’t.
One holidays, I find myself hanging out with the resident underachiever, and he surprises me. With Roman, I don’t have to pretend that little Piper Barlow is perfect; even if we’re both in a foul mood, just sitting in silence together is perfectly enough. Until it becomes more.
But, Roman doesn’t do more. Does he...?
What do you do when you accidentally find perfection with the wrong guy?
You fight for it.
'Accidentally Perfect' is a story about finding support in the least likely of places, never giving up, and learning that being the real you is always perfect.
NB: Not suitable for younger readers due to mature content.

Secrets in Time
Troy's Possibilities
Troy's Possibilities Rodney Strong
Do you believe in second chances? What if your whole life was second chances.
Boy meets girl, girl pepper sprays boy. Not the classic start to a love story. Especially when the boy has a condition which means he lives out different possible futures for himself. Some end well, some end badly, but they always end, and he finds himself back alone, with just his friend and flatmate Emily to keep him grounded.
Troy is jaded and drifting, all those possibilities have taken their toll. Then he meets Cat, and keeps meeting her. At first he dismisses it as coincidence, then through a series of events he comes to believe that she might be just what he needs to find balance and make sense of everything.
But in his strange world of possibilities nothing is straightforward.
