Sally is a self-confessed player and party girl. Her life revolves around fun nights out, casual encounters and no emotional attachments other than with her best friend and colleague, Becky. When she is faced with a ghost from her past – Gareth – all the walls she’s carefully constructed around herself fall apart, revealing old wounds she thought had healed a long time ago. He wants a second chance, and she’s shocked to find that maybe she’s not as over him as she would want. Meanwhile, her current suitor, Becky and Sally’s charismatic manager, Mark, is keen to take their casual relationship to the next level. Sally’s uncomplicated life is about to become very messy indeed.This novella is a stand-alone follow-up to The Rebound List, which focuses on Becky's journey-- can be read as a standalone / out of order!
EXCERPT:
Another day, another bouquet on my desk. As I walk towards my spot, I note that the all too familiar gaggle of colleagues has already formed. I’m sure they’ll know the circumstances of how the flowers ended up here already. In fact I’m sure people on other floors whom I’ve never met before know all about my stupid fucking flowers. Becky is spinning back and forth on her chair, while talking to Cath and Elaine with a thoughtful, all-knowing look on her face. As I get nearer, she finally spots me and shoos them away before I can overhear. “Morning,” she chirps. “Meh.” I let my handbag drop to the floor beside my desk and eye the flowers. A different florist than the others, and their colours are more coordinated. The last ones looked like Gareth tried his best and did something totally out of character. With these, however, it seems like he had expert help. “I haven’t read the card,” Becky remarks. “You’d better hope you haven’t.” “Read it! Come on, you know you want to!” Goddamnit. I might as well, just to shut her up. The tiny little envelope matches the dark purple of some of the whatever-type-flowers. My name is written on top in a vaguely familiar, neat handwriting. Sally, I realise yesterday’s apology was anything but. If you let me, I’ll do better this time. I prefer a life with you in it, on your terms. Perhaps we can talk it over tonight? Mark I casually pop the card back into the envelope, and drop it into my handbag, before anyone else gets their grabby hands on it. “So? Did the hot guy with the tats from yesterday not believe my story?” Becky asks. “Gareth? No, these are from Mark.” She breathes in through her teeth and scrutinises my face. “Cath had mentioned he’s been acting weird. Do you think he’s jealous?” “I don’t know what he is.” I turn towards my PC, signalling that the conversation is over. Indeed, I’m not sure what to make of this. Has Mark accepted my stance on relationships or is this just an opening to try again? I do wish we could get back to how things were earlier: uncomplicated, but extremely satisfying booty calls along with a seemingly endless supply of intelligent conversation. And laughs, lots of laughs. Men like that don’t grow on trees and I really did enjoy his company, no matter what we ended up doing. Whatever he’s thinking, though, I’ve already made plans with Becks tonight. If there’s one thing I won’t do over this, it’s cancelling an existing commitment. No matter how many flowers end up on my desk. Realising he probably expects some kind of reaction, I do a quick scan of the office, noting that the door to Mark’s office is ajar, but there is no movement in sight. Cath also is nowhere to be seen. They must be in another meeting. So I get my phone out, to get this over with quick. ‘ Hey. Thanks for the lovely flowers. Tonight I’m going out with Becky already, how’s tomorrow night for you? S .’ That’ll do. I put my phone away without waiting for a response. ABOUT HEDONIST SIXCall me “H.” or Hedonist if you prefer. I’m a Romance writer based in London and I’ve always been a dreamer, though it didn’t occur to me to write down the stories I kept dreaming up until 2012. You’ll not find flowery language and poetry in my work. What you will find though is believable characters, none of whom perfect, going through life and trying to find happiness. Just like the rest of us. I first started writing because I craved to see more of “my kind of books” on the shelves. In any scenario, you’ll find me rooting for the underdog. The (emotionally) scarred hero who hasn’t really had much (or any) luck in love. The shy office worker who wants to pursue the man of her dreams, but hasn’t quite mustered the courage yet. All my characters are beautifully flawed and messed up, in a way that makes them perfect for one another.Website | Facebook | Goodreads ENTER THE GIVEAWAY

4.5 Star Review by Ashley
Holy mother of all....I absolutely devoured Just an Illusion- the B Side. If I thought the drama was high in part one (which you totally have to read first) I don't even know what word to use to describe the ride my emotions went on here. THANK GOODNESS this picks up right where Side A left off because I couldn't take the not knowing what happened to Noah and Mel.
I love the way this was written. You could feel the nerves and the trepidation and the love with every word Mel poured onto the paper. So much life happened in this book for Mel and Noah but also the rest of BAD. I really liked the sense of family and how Mel felt like she had one again. And despite her reservations and fears she embraced what was coming to her with her arms and heart wide open. I liked that even though Side B is just as much about the past, that as things came to the present day, I still had no clue who was forcing Mel's hand (though I have a big hunch). But hold onto your hats (and hearts) because the way this one ended left me wide eyed and speechless. Yes, there's your mini spoiler alert...D. Kelly still has more of Mel's story to tell. I can't wait to see what life, fate- whatever you want to call it- has in store for her next. Giveaway$20 Amazon Gift Card Direct Link: http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/b1257f8d12/?

A new career, a new place, and a new man—you’d think after the rough year she’s had, Isla has finally found her stride. Of course it’s never that simple. Some dreams she is building, some dreams are taken away before they have a chance to form. But she never imagined that the one thing she’s worked so hard to realize, could be the cause it all breaks apart.
Ben doesn’t miss his assignments, his life of deceit, or his unsavory associations—but they appear to miss him. Just as he’s beginning to think perhaps there’s redemption for him after all, his dark past casts a long shadow.—and not just on him, but on the woman who made him believe.

Once, I was nothing.
Hungry, abandoned, wandering, and alone. An adolescent street rat fighting for crumbs.
Then a chance encounter changed my entire world.
A man in an expensive suit asked me how much my life was worth.
I didn't have an answer, because I didn't know.
He asked if I thought it was worth killing for for.
Impulsively, I said yes...
He found me, then fostered me, and in the interim turned me into a killing machine. A modern day La Femme Nikita. Now, I only have one mission. To avenge the death of the man who saved me.
There's an invisible war on the streets. Us against them. Family against family. Power against power.
They call me Ghostface Killer because they never see me coming. I understand the weight of that danger.
The hazard.
The jeopardy.
Because now here I stand, three months pregnant with the barrel of a gun pressed to my head cause I never saw him coming...

Stella Santos is fine.
Maybe something terrible happened to her that she can’t even remember. And maybe it drives her crazy when her friends treat her like she’s on the verge of breaking because of it. Maybe it feels even worse when they do what she asks and pretend that it never happened at all. And maybe she’s been getting harassing emails and messages for months from people who don’t even know her, but hate her all the same. But none of that matters because she’s just fine. For Ryan Blake, Stella was always that girl. Vibrant and hilarious and beautiful. He wanted her as his best friend. His more than friends. His everything and anything that she would give him. Which these days is a whole lot of nothing. She gets angry when he’s there. Angry when he’s not there. Angry when he tries to talk and when he doesn’t. When Stella devises an unconventional art project for one of her classes all about exploring intimacy—between both friends and strangers—Ryan finds himself stepping in as guinea pig after one of her subjects bails. What was supposed to be an objective and artistic look at emotion and secrets and sex suddenly becomes much more personal. When he hits it off with another girl from the project, Stella will have to decide if she’s willing to do more than make art about intimacy. To keep him, she’ll have to open up and let herself be the one thing she swore she’d never be again. Vulnerable. ✦Add it to your Goodreads ✦Don’t Miss All of Cora’s Standalone Rusk University Series Titles!
