When your world, your life and all of your hopes and dreams for the future are ripped out from under you, how do you go on? Death without dying is not only the most painful kind of death, it's also the most painful kind of life and I don't know if I'm strong enough to live it. I spend my lonely days and nights trying to make sense of what my life has become. Do I have the strength to move forward into the light, or should I just let the darkness take me? I'm Georgia Rae Layton McCarthy and this is the story of me, just me. I'm no longer a part of an us, it's just me. Alone. By myself.

The Story of Me

Carnage

DECEMBER 1ST... A time to reflect and remember for Georgia and also, she's decided, this year will be a time for change. Starting with high emotion on the anniversary of the day that changed her life and ending on a loud, raucous and raunchy Christmas night, we get a little dip into the lives of some of the Carnage Series favourite characters. This is Book 5 in a series. The other 4 books should be read before this one.

A Carnage Short Story

A Different Kind of December

Resolution picks up exactly where Saviour left us all hanging! Having left an abusive marriage at 45, Lauren can hardly believe that she has found Gabe, a 35 year old blonde buff sex god, their instant chemistry has convinced him that that he wants to change his serial shagging ways and to make what they have found permanent, he knows that he loves Lauren but relationships are a whole new concept to him and he doesn't always get it right. Lauren, still reeling from the abuse she has suffered at the hands of her ex husband is not convinced that jumping straight into another marriage is the right thing for her, despite how much she loves Gabe, the sex is amazing, they have no problems there, with Gabe she is growing in confidence and trying things in the bedroom (and every where else) that she never even considered during her marriage but they have known each other for just 10 short weeks and already they have been through enough drama to last a lifetime. Lauren has once again been beaten and humiliated by her soon to be ex-Husband, Gabe has revealed he was sexually abused by his Step-Mother as a teenager, and Gabe's ex is threatening to stop him seeing his daughter. Will Lauren listen to taunts from jealous exes and her own self doubt; or will the love (and lust) Lauren has found in Gabe's arms be enough for her to let go of her painful past to build a future with Gabe. Resolution is the conclusion of Gabe and Laurens story, it will take you on a roller coaster of emotions, with some steamy and erotic sex scenes, just to keep your pulse racing, like Saviour, some scenes are gut wrenching, it will have you laughing, crying and wanting to not only hug Gabe and Lauren but also wanting to shake some sense into them. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Resolution

Lauren is married to an abusive husband and is terrified of him; she is ashamed of this fact and has never revealed it to anyone, not even her closest friends. After a night of drinking vodka and shots she finally unloads her secret to her besties, and her friends convince her to leave her husband the following morning. Into the same bar as Lauren and her friends, walks Gabriel Wilde, out for a few Friday night beers with his brothers. Gabe is a single, serial shagging, commitment phobe, he is introduced to Lauren by a mutual friend and the attraction is instant and electric, his interest is spiked even further when Lauren refuses to go home with him. The two exchange numbers and agree to meet the next morning so Lauren can view a rental property that Gabe owns. On returning home that night, Lauren is brutally attacked by her husband and escapes into the night with just the clothes she's wearing and her mobile phone. Over the coming weeks, Lauren builds a relationship with Gabe, both slowly revealing the damaged side to their personalities, everything about their relationship is intense and the sex is explosive but will it be enough to save them from their pasts. Saviour rolls with the times to explore the powerful emotions of today's relationship
