Blurb
Poe
Halliday was an accident. A chance meeting that changed my life forever.
My mother didn't have secrets; her secrets had her. After she disappeared, I
had nothing.
Or so I thought.
When the invitation arrived, the opportunity to learn about my mother's past
was too great to pass up. Heading west to meet an aunt I had never heard of, I
knew I was taking a risk, but I craved answers. Instead, I ended up with more
questions, and now the dark history of this town threatens to tear me apart.
It's all about him.
I knew this was a mistake.
Stella
Bradleigh was a distraction. Something to play with when my shadows got too
dark.
I spent my entire existence forced to live a life I didn't want. There was only
one way out.
Or so I thought.
When she arrived, none of us had any idea what it meant. Meeting the beautiful
stranger with the mysterious past, I thought she would be a good time, and then
I could just throw her away like all the others. Instead, she consumed me, and
now she's made me question everything I know to be real in my life.
It's all about her.
I knew I was a mistake.
Sometimes
what seems most fragile can't be broken.
★ Folkestone Sins is a series of
interconnected duets.
Fragile Things is the first book in Stella and Poe's duet, and the first book
in the series. This is a dark, mature high school/new adult romance. It
contains situations and flashbacks that may trigger some readers, language that
may be offensive, and scenes of a sexual nature (all consensual).
Recommended for 18+ only

Excerpt
"Can I
help you?" I ask dryly without standing.
"Don't
you get snotty with me, you trashy bitch," she hisses back at me.
"Who do you think you are? There are rules here, and low-class sluts like
you follow them or else."
Snotty?
Me?
Momentarily
taken aback by her hostility, it takes me a few beats to register the rest of
her words. Trashy bitch, I can handle. Low-class, well, she's not entirely
wrong. But slut?
Nuh-uh. No way, no day.
I stand,
pulling myself up to my full five feet eight inches, and get nose to nose with
Fascist Barbie.
"Look,
princess, I'm sitting over here, minding my own business. What the fuck have I
done to offend your delicate sensibilities? Nothing. You don't fucking know me.
So. You. Don't. Get. To. Call. Me. A. Slut." I fire each staccato word at
her. Though I’m genuinely bewildered by this girl’s unmistakable hatred towards
me, I am also seriously pissed off by her shitty attitude. "Back the fuck
up, Barbie, and leave me alone. Shoo." Flicking my fingers at her
dismissively, I stand my ground, waiting for her and her minions to leave. To
my surprise, she leans in even closer, her cloyingly sweet perfume wrapping
around me like a candy-scented lasso.
"That's
not how it works here. You don't get to just show up out of the blue and jump
the line." She peers spitefully down her clearly after-market nose at me.
"There are rules, and just because you're a Bradleigh, don't think they
don't apply to you.”

Author Bio
Samantha Lovelock is a sarcastic cow with a decent sense of
humour, darknesses hidden in mind-closets that occasionally Jack-in-The-Box her
unsuspecting ass, and a love and loyalty for her friends and family that runs
deeper than any ocean. Her guy means the world to her, and so does her cat;
sometimes even in that order. Her Mum is her hero, hands down. She proudly
wears the crown of a Queen of Innuendo, and of Name That Tune, and has never
met a cliff hanger she didn’t like. She lives in the foothills of the Canadian
Rockies with her British cowboy and their Norwegian Forest Cat, Winston
Churchill.

"Then a chance run-in with a beautiful dark-haired stranger who rose to my unspoken challenge showed me a brief glimpse of the other side; what it was like to feel alive."
5 Not All is What It Seems Stars!! What a FABULOUS debut novel... my jaw is still on the floor!!!
Stella has had a rough 17 years, to say the least, her mom has left her and she now lives alone in an apartment that's seen better days and works as a waitress. After receiving a mystery package, she's flown to Folkstone, CA to live with her aunt (her mom's sister), where her life is changed. But things are what they seem in Folkstone, people have deep seated anger when Stella arrives, especially when she throws a wrench into certain peoples lives. She meets a great group of friends and falls for the bad boy Poe, who wants nothing to do with her, well at least that's what he wants her to think. When things bubble to the surface and she sees what's really going on in this mysterious town, is she willing to stick around??
There's no way this is a debut novel!!! This book reads like it's from someone who's written a million books... I can't even begin to tell you how great this book is! I loved the twists and turns this book took, I'm hooked! I can't wait to see what's going to happen next! And I can officially say you have a fan in me!!!
