Beauty from Pain

JACK HENRY AND LAURELYN’S STORY: BOOK 1

They agreed on three months... ​but their love ignored all boundaries.

​
Jack McLachlan has it all—wealth, power, and the title of Australia’s most eligible bachelor. But life at the top comes with its fair share of complications, and Jack has found the perfect solution: carefully arranged, no-strings-attached relationships that last just long enough to keep things fun.

No emotions. No messy breakups. Just three perfect months.


Then Laurelyn Prescott walks into his life.

The gorgeous, fiercely independent American musician is everything Jack didn’t know he was missing. She challenges his rules, breaks down his walls, and turns his world upside down. What starts as a casual arrangement quickly becomes something neither of them expected—something that changes everything.

Jack’s rules were meant to keep his heart safe, but Laurelyn makes him question if some risks are worth taking.

Irresistible and utterly unforgettable, Beauty from Pain is a story about passion, heartbreak, and a love so undeniable, it shatters all the rules.

JACK HENRY AND LAURELYN’S STORY: BOOK 2

How do you move on when he’s every song you sing.

​
After Laurelyn Prescott walks away from the love of her life, she returns to Nashville to pursue the only dream she has left. Determined to find a distraction from the pain of losing Jack Henry, she immerses herself in her music. But with her old life comes old acquaintances and new expectations. When Laurelyn refuses her record producer’s outrageous demands, she finds herself without a career—until an unforeseen opportunity presents itself. From there it’s a rocket ride straight to the top where Laurelyn finds the success she’s always dreamed of. Will it be enough to bring her the happiness she so deserves, or will the absence of Jack Henry leave her wanting more?

Jack Henry McLachlan never expected to fall in love with Laurelyn Prescott—but he did. After he foolishly let her slip through his fingers, he spends three months searching for her, but their reunion doesn’t come easy. The woman he finds isn’t the same one who drifted away without a goodbye. No longer an insecure girl on an Australian adventure, this Laurelyn is a successful musician with a promising career. Her dreams are becoming a reality, and Jack is terrified his American girl won’t have a place for him in her new life.

With only a month to convince her otherwise, will it be enough time to make her visualize a life beyond the glitz and glamour, a life that includes him?

ALEX AND MAGNOLIA 1: BOOK 4

They agreed on three months… but neither expected to fall.

Alex Sebring is a former professional rugby star—and a man with nothing left to prove. Fame, fortune, and adoration were once his everyday normal… until injury ripped him from the game and the headlines turned brutal. Now, he lives in quiet exile.

No press. No relationships. No complications.

He’s content to lick his wounds in peace.

Until her.

Magnolia Steel is in Australia on a three-month work assignment. Just career focus… and maybe a little fun on the side. She never expects to connect with a stranger from behind a wall in a blind-dating suite. No faces. No names. Just voices—and something that feels dangerously real.

At the urging of his best friends, Jack and Laurelyn McLachlan, Alex proposes a deal: three months together, no expectations, no labels. But what begins as a simple arrangement turns into something far more complicated when hearts get involved.

They promised it would end when she left. But what if walking away is the one thing neither of them can do?

Your favorite Australian caveman and his American girl return—a decade later—with a fresh twist on the love story that started it all. Meet Alex and Magnolia.
