    About this ebook

    Amy Severn is a brilliant young orthopaedic surgeon who spends her coffee breaks in storage rooms having casual sex with her colleagues. When her conflicts at work grow out of bounds, she seeks out a therapist to help her with her “sex addiction.” Her therapy is so successful that when a naked man walks out of the surf on a secluded California beach, she is pleasantly surprised but otherwise unconcerned.

    Niven, the man whose excellent collection of limbs and musculature Amy clinically evaluated and shrugged, explains calmly that someone is trying to kill her. He is a descendant of star-lords stranded on Earth thousands of years ago, and vows to protect sceptical Amy, and discover who’s trying to kill her – before it’s too late.

    What he doesn’t tell her is that he’s watched her for 15 years, and knows everything about her—especially her demons. But what neither knows is what will happen when Niven discovers that the would-be assassin is someone close to him? And why do they want Dr. Severn dead so badly? Worse still, how does Niven deal with a forbidden attraction to the woman he’s bound to keep safe?

    I'm a writer. That's all that can be said here. I love writing and I absolutely hate marketing. It just goes to show you where your natural talents lie. Writing comes easy. Marketing...that's something I will be learning until the day I die. All I can say about my books is that they're meant to entertain.

      The Whale Who Will Come Soon

      Sep 8, 2021

      The beachfront narrows to an ocherous ribbon, belted by blue, above and below. After a while, a handful of shearwaters appear in the air above the Cat Balou. The birds flash around us; like knife-thrower tricks at a circus. Diving through the water,
