Ask Me For More

By: Elise K Ackers

When Olivia Law returns home for her best friend's wedding, it stirs up a lot of unexpected memories - not all of them good ones. Liv has a history here she'd prefer to forget, and a life in the city she wants to get back to. She certainly doesn't expect to find herself attracted to the bride's elder brother, Cal O'Hara. Cal remembers Liv as the trouble making friend of his little sister. He doesn't expect to be faced with an incredibly sexy grown-up version. But Cal has been hurt in the past and is not prepared to risk his heart again. Certainly not for someone who is leaving town in a few days. Nothing is certain in this delicious tale about escaping the past. Ask Me for More is a poignant story about finding love where you least expect it.

Her deadline is Christmas – she doesn't want to spend another holiday by herself. Just as she decides her strategy, she meets Matt, her downstairs neighbour. They become unlikely friends, with Matt an amused bystander as Cora tries various methods in search of a man. Then something strange happens. Matt, who spends his life avoiding commitment, begins to feel jealous of the men Cora is dating and his resolve to never fall in love begins to crumble.

This is a book about finding love in unexpected places, and I enjoyed the story.' - Book Savvy Babes 'THE MAN PLAN is by turns hilariously funny and filled with heartfelt emotions.

The Road Less Travelled

By: Elise K. Ackers

Dana Ryan is a nomad. Her address is the world and the world has been good to her, but a short-notice invitation to her kid sister’s wedding suddenly shifts this very world on its axis. Chelsea Ryan is eighteen. Fresh out of high school and still living in the same tiny town Dana fled three years ago, she’s been nowhere and done little. She doesn’t know what the world has to offer, and she intends to marry her first and only boyfriend. Enter Dana: the voice of reason and experience. But their reunion is fraught with secrets and surprises. Dana’s parents are welcoming but distant, the groom-to-be is no longer the boy Dana remembers, and the best man is the boy she almost gave up the world for, but left behind. It turns out life back home has gone on without her - infinitely more complex than she could have imagined. And as the wedding approaches, Dana realises her nomad ways have cost her a lot more than just foreign currency.

Summer Return

By: Elise K. Ackers

He'll never come back to stay, unless someone asks him to... Funerals can bring people together who are best kept apart. Ethan Foster, home to mourn his sister–in–law, finds himself as unwelcome as ever in the town that once meant the world to him. For more than a decade he's been saddled with a bad reputation – a drunk, a deserter – and he's lived with it, will keep living with it, because the only way to clear his name is to share his secrets. But the secrets are not his to tell and their telling would destroy the family he loves and the woman he's never forgiven himself for leaving behind. Samantha O'Hara once loved freely, but now she doesn't. Now she leaves before she's left and keeps her vulnerabilities tucked away. But when Ethan Foster walks back into town, finally looking at her the way she always wanted him to, she finds her hard–won armour developing chinks. She can't – won't – have anything to do with any reinvention Ethan is going through. But maybe this isn't a new Ethan... Maybe he's the same Ethan she fell in love with all those years ago. And maybe, just maybe, this time their love will be strong enough to make him stay. *Originally published as Ask Me To Stay. Expanded and revised edition.
