Book Description
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A breathtaking love story—a saga of passion, tenacity, and hope in the face of disaster We first meet Zwazo Delalun, or Zo, during his childhood, in the 1990s, in a fishing village on the western tip of Haiti. An orphan, he travels the island in his youth, finding work wherever he can. One morning, while hauling cement in the broiling sun, he meets Anaya, a nursing student who is sipping cherry juice under a tree. Their attraction is instantaneous, fierce; what grows between them feels like the destiny-changing love Zo has yearned for. But Anaya’s father, protective and ambitious on behalf of his only daughter, cannot accept that a poor, uneducated man such as Zo is good enough for her, and he sends Anaya away to Port-au-Prince. Then something even more shattering happens: a massive earthquake churns the ground beneath the capital city, forever altering the course of life for those who survive. At once suspenseful, heartrending, and gorgeously lyrical, Zo is an unforgettable journey of heroism, grief, redemption, and persistence against all odds.

He pulled the door open. He was staring at a pair of feet floating about a metre off the ground. He looked up at his fathers face, which was near the roof, smiling at him in a very gentle way. Son, I think we need to have a talk.' With those words, Xander's world was turned upside down. Should he stay at school and try for the football team, cope with bullies and stick with his friends or go to 'The Institute'? An ultra-secretive, government centre made decades ago to create super-soldiers, but now a school of sorts, for children like himself. And who are the 'Others'? Who are the rebels from the 'Institute' who are supposedly out there, somewhere in society, watching and planning? As Xander tries to adapt to his new abilities, and failing miserably, he begins to see 'Others' at every turn, suspecting everyone. Do they exist at all, or are they closer than he thinks?

As the single-most powerful vampire on the planet, Xander is the ultimate bored predator with too much time on his hands. He manipulates the minds of immortals for fun and bullies around the Gods, while guarding the secret source of his power, a crystal that can wipe out the planet. But beneath the surface, he’s a shrewd creature who learned the brutal lesson of why there must be a balance between good and evil. An unwilling protector of the playthings known as humans, he knows when and where to use his power – and never to let anyone close enough to betray him. It’s easy to do, since he has the power to read the minds of everyone around him. Except for one: Jessi, an innocent looking woman with an unusual talent who shows up unexpectedly in his life. Her sudden appearance is too convenient to be coincidence or chance. Xander determines quickly that she was sent by someone, but he can’t read her mind to discover why. Jessi’s secret – and Xander’s – have the power to forever change the human world. Intrigued by a new sort of challenge, Xander won’t know how much danger he’s in, until he’s placed his fate in the hands of a woman whose betrayal will cost either his heart or his life.

ALWAYS WANTED (BOOK 1) If someone were to have told me a year ago, that by the end of this year I was going to break up with Ben my boyfriend of five years and leave my family home to move to a different city to start a new life, I’d have told them they were crazy. There was no way something like that could happen....ever! It did happen. Twenty two year old university drop out Marisa Gellys' relaxed lifestyle takes a turn for the worse when she arrives early at Kyle Matthews’ annual Halloween bash to find her boyfriend making out with another girl. Heartbroken she sets off to a brand new city to get away from her family who think she’s made the biggest mistake of her life by breaking up with Ben. For the first time in her life, Marisa’s doing everything on her own and she loves it. A brand new city, a brand (sort of) new job, and a hunky, dreamy late night customer who shows her the kinds of things he likes to do. Welcome to the ride. This year will be nothing like last year. WANTED ALWAYS (BOOK 2) I never said I was perfect.....but damn it, I really did it this time! I fell for his ways again! And the award for dumbest girl in the world goes to.....ME! Again! Twenty two year old Marisa Gellys thought the weekend of her father's 50th birthday party was going to be quick and easy. She couldn't have been more wrong. All thanks to a certain blue-eyed gorgeous...menace, also known as Xander Barns. Her dad's birthday would have to take a back seat, because Xander Barns has his own plans for this weekend and whether Marisa wants to or not, she's about to become a huge part of it. Because Xander Barns always gets what he wants. CALLING FOREVER (BOOK 3) If someone were to have told me right after waking up and finding Xander’s surprise last Saturday, that at the end of this crazy weekend I’d be accepting a position as his Personal Assistant, I’d have laughed and told them they were crazy. It did happen. Who’s crazy now? ME! Marisa Gellys should have erased Xander Barns from her memory as soon as she stepped foot on her train back home. She did no such thing, in fact after being offered a job that included amazing pay and out of this world perks, she was now the king of trouble’s A.K.A Xander Barns’ Personal Assistant. Now all she’s got to do to get paid is to keep that menace out of trouble, which shouldn’t be too difficult, that is until Xander’s equally gorgeous normal fraternal twin brother shows up. Liam Barns does not like his brother. Wanting nothing more than to get attention seeking Xander kicked out of their family’s boutique hotel business, he sets his sights on Marisa, planning to use her knowledge of Xander’s after dark lifestyle to finally show their father who really belongs in the company and who doesn’t. However, actually falling for Marisa, that was a surprise he didn’t have a plan for. Xander Barns Series (Books 1-2-3) is a 111,000 word enemies to partners romance. It contains dark and crude humour, bad language, sexual scenes, and includes scenes that may be offending. Recommended for 18+. This is not a standalone. It is books 1-2-3 of the Xander Barns Series.
