Hi
I like to get out for an early morning walk a couple of times each week. Mostly, I head down towards the beach.
As I trudge through the sand, I often review my current manuscript in my head, and different plot twists or conversations occur to me. I feel a connection with my characters from the Sandy Bay Series, as often they are also going for an early morning walk on the beach, turning over whatever issues are confronting them at the time.
The weather is mild at that time of day, and the scene is lit with beautiful colours as the sun emerges. This is my local jetty, with other early morning strollers admiring the water.
There are a few suggestions for you this newsletter for other stories you might like to enjoy. If you do, don't forget to leave them a review.
regards
Emily

Dating Little Miss Perfect
by Cassandra O'Leary
For today only - reduced to $0.99 from $5.99
The perfect romcom read for fans of The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren and The Hating Game by Sally Thorne . . .
On an anonymous online dating app, LittleMissPerfect meets HotAussie007 and it’s love at first click. In real life, a smart but spiky woman in STEM, research scientist, Dr Eden, meets a laid-back Aussie marketing manager, Finn, at the big pharma company where they both work in California. They're forced to compete for special projects funding, and both their jobs are on the line.
Eden just wants to win at science and in life. It's not happening! She can't stand Finn's too-cool-for-school, nice guy act, or his delectable forearms that keep invading her space. While Finn is stupidly attracted to Eden, when she's not telling him off, he isn't free to pursue her. He's stuck in the worst position in his professional life, and doesn't see a clear way out. He can't tell her the whole truth about what's going on at work or in his personal life. . . or it could all blow up in his face.
When they realise the truth about their online alter egos, dating is off the table. Can they ignore their inconvenient attraction, and work together to take down their unethical boss? Or will intense rivalry cause their IRL work lives and online love lives to collide and explode like a science experiment gone wrong?
Note: Dating Little Miss Perfect is an updated take on You've Got Mail for lovers of online dating romcoms, with added science, cupcakes and old movie references! This new release from award-winning author Cassandra O'Leary is a stand-alone contemporary romance novel of approximately 97,000 words.

Falling for the Forbidden Billionaire
by Lily Cross
As a billionaire ex-SEAL on a covert mission,
My sister called to rescue her best friend – but my enemy.
How could I have known that she would carry my baby later?
I still remember how she almost got me to jail. Everything changes the moment she walks to me. Her beauty silences the nearby airport crowd. She looks at my eyes with a playful smile. Luckily, she doesn’t recognize me.
I'm bound by honor to the crew’s oath: no private relationships outside the team.
Chasing the impossible, that's what sparks my soul, not the dollar bills. Stepping out of line, and everything I've built could fall to pieces. But for her, I'm willing to gamble it all.
In the shower, as she wraps her arms around my neck whispers, I cross lines I never dared before.
Months later, she discovers my identity and flees. The stakes are higher than ever with our baby on the way. Despite her desperation to escape, I must bring her back.
