“Ah. Shall I send something over to the hospital?”
“She’ll be home tonight. But I already picked out some things. From, uh, from us both?”
Susannah smiled as she claimed another quick kiss. “I like that. Another level of official. Despite how chaotic it’s been, you’re still not running. From this, or us.”
“Never been much of a runner,” Tess replied. “Not when everything good is right here. Great job, great woman, my best friends, nice house…what should I run from exactly?”
“You make a good point. I’m going to have to make the rounds for a little while. Think you can spare me?”
“Only if you come back every so often,” Tess said. “I am a frequent guest at Midsummer, you know, and I expect a certain level of VIP treatment.”
“I think that can be arranged.” For a moment, as she held Tess’s hand, Susannah considered blowing off the party and sneaking upstairs. Unfortunately, being the centre of attention made sneaking anywhere almost impossible. “And I want to see you on that floor at some point. The world deserves to see your step-perfect Mamma Mia choreography, Tess.”
“That was one time!” Tess called after her.
Susannah was already off and wending her way through the crowd. Midsummer didn’t feel empty anymore. Her step faltered for a second, and she considered the house around her. Within a moment or two, her gaze drifted back to Tess.
The house may not have felt empty anymore, but most of all, it finally felt like a home.

While they’re circling each other warily at St. Sophia’s hospital, Cassie becomes entangled in some shady financial dealings.
Their shared search for the truth draws them closer together, sparking heated moments as they try to see justice done. But in exposing a scandal, can they also find some common ground? How will they both deal with being attracted to a woman they don’t even like?

When poor college student Rose Walsh gives out an inappropriate gag gift at her office Christmas party, it backfires horribly. The gift’s recipient is her boss, the esteemed president of Gio Corp., Vivian Tracey, and the only thing that can save Rose now is her smarts.
Instead of firing her, Vivian blackmails math major Rose into joining her on a business trip to New York to investigate an embezzlement.

A funny, small-town lesbian romance about clashing cultures and daring to dream big.
LA-based English indie filmmaker Alex Levitin reluctantly takes a job in New Zealand to save the “worst movie ever”, Shezan: Mistress of the Forest. Things might go easier for her if she didn’t almost run over the standoffish, beautiful local cop on her first day in town. And it’d really help if her film set wasn’t being mysteriously sabotaged.
When Ika Whenu’s Senior Constable Sam Keegan isn’t trying to stamp out a motorcycle gang drug problem afflicting her town, she’s publicly slamming everything about the exploitative film, Shezan, and the Hollywood blow-ins making it. That includes its nerdy, cute director, Alex, who has woeful driving skills to go with her smart mouth.
Against the stunning scenery and chaotic film-set backdrop, attraction flares between the two warring women as they’re forced to work together to find the set saboteur.
This is a Breaking Character spin-off novel that can easily be read as a standalone story.
