Leilani Granger can't stand the person Casper Drake has become, and Casper doesn't even recognise his best mate's little sister anymore. Loving each other is second-nature, but they don't know how not to hate each other either. But, after one night of a deeper connection than either of them were ready for, the lines between the emotional and the physical start to blur. Leilani wasn't the kind to lose herself in meaningless sex. Casper's been doing it for years. It's the only time hate doesn't get in the way. But, the trouble with hate is...it's often not hate at all.NB: This book is intended for older Young Adults readers, 17+. The characters are young adults, but the story contains swearing, references to potential triggering themes such as mental illness and suicide, and sexual content.

You've read Hannibal's side. Now, read mine. Can one person really help you kill the monster inside? Maybe... I'm not a good guy. But, I love my little brother and I will do whatever it takes to keep him safe; the last thing I need is another dead body on my conscience. There were only two things I wanted in life; be there for Matty and lose myself for long enough to get some respite from the horrors of our past. Until I met her; the mud-streaked girl with the ability to arouse my mind as well as...other things. My captain of the A-team, Hannibal is as sweet and smart as she is sexy. But, the monster of my past - the one that created a monster in me - will not die and I can't bring her into that. I try to pull away, to save her from the pain I'll inevitably bring her. Except, my Hannibal's a fighter and she won't give up on me. No matter how many reasons I give her, that thing - that bond - between us only strengthens. Maybe Hannibal's the reason I've been looking for to finally put the monster of my past to rest. Maybe she can give me the strength to finally kill the monster that lurks within me. Could she be my Gray's Blade? A sizzling YA romance about first love and learning to let go of a painful past, this is Cole's story from his point of view. The companion novel, No More Maybes, is from Aurora's point of view; much like the characters themselves, Aurora's version is lighter, cleaner, and sweeter. Read through to the end of Gray's Blade for a sneak peek at chapter one of Aurora's side.

"Jesus loves me. This I know, for the Bible tells me so." For many of us, this sweet song brings back memories of childhood and church. It's simple and it's simply true. Abba Father's Lullaby is just that. It's the simple truth of our redemption told to a child in verse. The story of the Father's love for them that began "Even before He made the world" (Ephesians 1:4, NLT). Scripture says Father loved us and chose us in Christ and decided from the beginning to adopt us into His own family. "The pleasure and the fullness of the Father's heart" (Abba Father's Lullaby). Shortly before the birth of Elizabeth's last granddaughter, a dear friend suggested that she take this precious one in her arms and tenderly dedicate her to the Lord and then, whispering softly in the baby's ear, tell her the story of redemption. On September 8, 2013, Elizabeth did just that, but she got hopelessly lost in the details of our redemption. This was one story she wanted to get right but where to start? Then she remembered a teaching on God's love for us given by one of her professors at Charis Bible College. Professor Meintjes said, "Before the world began, you were His The Father's] plan and intension. You were always God's creation. The love of God is the key that opens everything." (August 3, 2013). Abba Father's Lullaby was born out of the desire for all children, big and small, to know that they are loved.
