Finding your Destiny (Never Give Up Book 4)

Finding your Destiny


Finding Your Destiny by Suzie Peters front cover.

Sizzle Rating: Five sex-sizzle flame ratingRomantic Sex and Language

Finding your Destiny features a super sexy hero, who’ll do anything for love.

“… I know I told you I was falling for you, when we were at my flat, but I knew even then it was more than that. I knew right from the moment I first saw you… and maybe even before that, when you were just a voice on the phone, and the highlight of my day. I’ve always known you were different… and that’s what makes it so disappointing that you didn’t believe in me.”

Destiny

What do you do when the man of your dreams pings into your ‘inbox’?

You flirt a little… that’s what you do.

I was running from my past and scared of my boss, and Ronan made me smile… all the time. And I wanted to feel special. Just for once.

Now I’ve met him, and he’s perfect. In fact, he’s better than perfect and I’m so in love with him, I can almost forget all my problems… almost.

Ronan

What do you do when you’re forced to go on a lecture tour with a man you despise?

You make the most of it… that’s what you do.

Especially when you discover that his assistant, who you’ve been flirting with for the last few weeks, is the woman of your dreams.

Now we’re together, I don’t ever want Destiny to leave again… only that’s the problem. She lives three thousand miles away. But I’m willing to give up everything to make this work…

Finding your Destiny is book four in the Never Give Up series, but can be read as a stand-alone story with no cliff-hanger, and a guaranteed HEA.

This is a dual POV story with graphic sex scenes and adult language.

A note from Suzie…

“This is the first of my American-based stories to feature a British hero, and I loved exploring his perspective of falling in love and doing whatever it took to make it work.”

Looking for Love (Never Give Up Book 3)

Looking for Love


Looking for Love by Suzie Peters front cover.

Sizzle Rating: Five sex-sizzle flame ratingRomantic Sex and Language

Looking for Love – a single dad hero, who’ll never give up on the woman he loves.

Standing this close to her is hard. I want her so much, it hurts. My body craves her, like oxygen. But I can’t escape what she’s done. It’s messing with my head so much, I can’t even think straight. The urge to kiss her is almost overwhelming. But at the same time, I’m so angry, and so scared. Who is this woman who’s caring for my daughter? Who is this angel who’s gotten under my skin, and stolen my heart?

Cara

What do you do when you’re on the run, and your only chance for a future is to lie and cheat?

You lie and cheat… that’s what you do.

That’s what I did. Because I had no choice.

And now I’m safe, and for the first time in my life, I have a chance at happiness. As long as Max doesn’t find out the truth…

Max

What do you do when you’ve been lied to and cheated on before, but you really want a second chance, to see if you can love again?

You take a chance… that’s what you do.

That’s what I did, when Cara walked into my office, and into my heart.

Only now I’ve discovered she’s not what she seems to be, and all the lies that went before feel like nothing compared to this… because Cara’s caring for my daughter. And I don’t even know who she really is.

Looking for Love is book three in the Never Give Up series, but can be read as a stand-alone story with no cliff-hanger, and a guaranteed HEA.

This is a dual POV story with graphic sex scenes and adult language.

A note from Suzie…

“Although this is a six part series, Looking for Love completes the Crawford family stories, and I loved telling Max’s, and looking at the relationship between him and Colt… and where it all began.”

Chasing the Dream


Released
16 July, 2021

Chasing the Dream by Suzie Peters front cover.

Sizzle Rating: Three sex-sizzle flame ratingSizzling Sex and Language

Chasing the Dream – a dual POV story with graphic sex scenes, adult language, and a bad-boy hero, who’s willing to change for the woman he loves.

“Well… you’ve learned quite a lot about me this evening then, haven’t you?” I say, smiling at her. “You know I’m a private person – except where you’re concerned; that I had a fairly mixed up childhood; that I probably still let my dad and my feelings about him have too much influence over my life. And that I’m completely honest.”

And that with you, I’m in real danger… serious danger…

Eva

What do you do when you’ve got no experience with men, but you meet the man of your dreams? You know the type? Tall, dark, handsome, built like a god…

You fall head over heels… that’s what you do.

And that’s what I did, even though he’s my boss, and sleeping with him could have been the biggest mistake of my life.

Except, falling for him wasn’t my biggest mistake. Trusting him was… and it ended up costing me everything.

Chase

What do you do when you’ve got a reputation with women, and an angel walks into your life? No… not an angel. A damn goddess.

You learn how to be romantic… real fast. That’s what you do.

And that’s what I did.

Of course, I didn’t expect to fall for her. I didn’t expect to want ‘forever’ too… and I didn’t expect rejection. Not after she’d slept with me…

Or that losing her would hurt so much…

Chasing the Dream is book two in the six-book Never Give Up Series, but can be read as a stand-alone story with no cliff-hanger, and a guaranteed HEA.

A note from Suzie…

“This was a lovely book to write, mainly because a lot of it is set in the Caribbean, and who wouldn’t want to lose themselves, writing a love story, surrounded by azure seas and soft white sands?”

Taming the Storm (Never Give Up Book 1)

Taming the Storm


Taming the Storm by Suzie Peters cover.

Sizzle Rating: Three sex-sizzle flame ratingSizzling Sex and Language

Taming the Storm – a dual POV story with graphic sex scenes, adult language, and a stormy, hot Dominant hero with a rule book all of his own.

“I still want to dominate you… I still need to dominate you. Sexually. But because it’s you… and because I’m in love with you, everything else is different. The rules don’t matter anymore.”

Bree

What do you do when you’re fresh out of a divorce from a man who wanted to control every inch of your life, but your brother’s need to keep you safe means he’s just as bad?

You escape… that’s what you do.

And that’s what I did, until my brother’s gorgeous bodyguard caught me… and threatened to spank me if I didn’t behave myself.

Now I can’t stop thinking about him and all the things he could do to me… if only he wanted to.

Colt

What do you do when the woman you’ve been in love with for over a decade is finally free, but you know she’s wrong for you? Or at least, you’re all wrong for her?

You keep your distance… that’s what you do.

And that’s what I did, until Bree’s impulsive escape made me threaten to spank her.

Now I can’t get the thought out of my head… and I don’t want to.

Taming the Storm is book one in the Never Give Up Series, but can be read as a stand-alone story with no cliff-hanger, and a guaranteed HEA.

A note from Suzie…

“I loved writing this story, probably more than any other to date (although I have a feeling I say that every time I finish a book!). In this instance, I just enjoyed writing about a man who’s willing to be tamed… to throw away the rule book… for the woman he loves.”

Days of Summer: An emotional, uplifting romance for lovers… everywhere

In Days of Summer, Kit and Summer have known each other all their lives – except they’ve never met.

Struggling under the weight of his guilt, anger, and sadness, Kit is incapable of connecting with anyone. He’s closed himself off from the world, buried himself in work, and wrapped his smothered daughter in cotton wool. But a tragic death forces him to return to his childhood home, where he meets the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen, forcing him to question everything that he’s avoided about his life.

The woman is Summer, the ray of sunshine who is exactly what Kit needs to bring him back to life again. Fighting his feelings – and Summer – every step of the way, she vows to help this broken man as best she can… No matter what.

Until one day, he goes too far…

Will Summer ever forgive him? And can he forgive himself?

A note from Suzie…

“Days of Summer was the first book I sat down and wrote from scratch after my husband suffered two strokes. We were lucky: he survived. But our lives changed completely and I wanted to write something about accepting that things don’t always go to plan… that sometimes life just is what it is. And this is that book.”

Never Too Late – a deeply moving story of love, loyalty and second chances.

It was a meeting that only lasted an hour, but it was a meeting that would change their lives. Forever.

To Adam, Jenna was young, beautiful, and shy, and he fell for her so hard and so fast that to him, she would always be ‘the girl’. To Jenna, Adam was perfect… the most handsome man she’d ever seen, especially the striking tattoo that adorned his back, earning him the nickname ‘the wolf man’; at least in her mind. But a series of misunderstandings meant their plans for the following day never happened, forcing them to go their separate ways, to very different lives.

Fifteen years later, Adam has been through a series of relationships, always looking for something ‘more’ and losing a lot along the way. Jenna has come away from her ruined marriage a broken woman, choosing to protect herself behind a wall, burying herself away from life… and men.

What happens when fate reunites them, and they find out who they truly are? Will Adam be able to break through Jenna’s defences and help her see that, even after all these years, after so much heartbreak, it’s never too late to fall in love… again?

A note from Suzie…

“In this, my third stand-alone novel, I wanted to see what would happen to two characters who were brought together for just a brief time – one hour in this case – and then were divided and lived their separate lives, only find each other again many years later.”

Time for Hope – an inspiring, uplifting story, guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

In Time for Hope, timing is everything. Especially when you know time is running out…

Time for Hope – Hope Nelson is lonely. After the tragic ending of her first marriage, all she wants is someone to love her, to share her life, and – above all – be committed to her, but she’s starting to think that’s just the stuff of her favourite novels, not her reality. It doesn’t help that she lives in a tiny rural village in Cornwall, where there are no single men under the age of sixty, or that she rents out a beautiful holiday cottage designed as an intimate getaway for couples… Constant reminders that both life and romance are passing her by.

When Logan Quinn takes a last minute booking, arriving alone and looking utterly gorgeous, she starts to think her luck might have changed. Until he reveals he’s recently broken off his engagement… just two days ago.

Looking for a quick escape from his broken relationship, the last thing Logan expects is to meet the beautiful owner of the cottage and fall head over heels. All he has to do is convince Hope to give him a chance, to trust him, and to show her that anything worth having is worth waiting for.

Should be a breeze.

Except all is not as it seems.

Because Hope has a secret and, while they say love is blind, this secret could tear them apart before they’ve even started.

A note from Suzie…

“For my second stand-alone novel, I wanted to create a real, old-fashioned romance. And what could be more romantic than writing letters to the one you love… every, single day?”

Finding Matt – sometimes appearances can be deceptive.

Finding Matt is the story of Grace, who seems to have it all, but in reality, has almost nothing, and Matt, who wants to give her everything… and more.

When her husband dies, she doesn’t really know how to behave. He never loved her. And he’s left her with nothing, except bruises and scars, and bad memories… and the hope that somewhere out there, there must be something better than this.

Matt is a self-made multi-millionaire from Boston, and until that night two years ago, everything was pretty damned perfect. He had his fair share of beautiful women, the best friends and a good life… until one stupid mistake nearly cost him everything.

Now he’s done with looking back. He’s done with being scared and he’s done with uncertainty. He wants a future… with someone special. Someone he can trust. All he needs to do is find her…

It’s business that brings Matt and Grace together.

It’s love that holds them there.

But, when someone from the past threatens their happiness, and Grace’s safety, how far will Matt go to protect the woman he loves?

He’ll go as far as he has to… and further.

This is the first book in the Escaping the Past series.

A note from Suzie…

“My first ever novel… I loved writing this one, and creating a really strong couple, in Matt and Grace, who would support each other through thick and thin. And of course, I got to create the characters who would go on to inhabit the rest of the series. What fun!”

Finding Luke – sometimes you have to sacrifice your past, to get the future you always knew you wanted.

Finding Luke is the story of Megan, whose life has been ruled by her domineering father, and Luke… who’s never had to live by any rules at all. Until now.

Megan has never had a boyfriend. She’s not allowed. Her father always made it clear what he’d do to any man who came near her. And with his track record, Megan has always believed him.

Now, she’s taken a job modelling, in the south of France, because she needs the money. It sounds like easy work to her… until she meets Luke; the most beautiful man she’s ever seen. She wants him more than she’s ever wanted anything. But she knows the rules. She can’t have him. Can she?

Luke doesn’t do relationships. He never has. He does women… lots of them. He’s made a speciality of one night stands, because he decided a long time ago that no-one was ever going to get close enough to hurt him.

It seems someone really hates him, though, because he’s being sent to the south of France on a photographic shoot, with just one golden rule… don’t screw the model. Sounds simple? It would be, except she’s the most perfect woman he’s ever seen, and he doesn’t just want to take her to bed… he wants to keep her.

What happens when a man who’s always strived for freedom finally decides he wants to try at forever… with a woman who can only give him ‘for now’?

This is the second book in the Escaping the Past series.

A note from Suzie…

“Luke is, perhaps, the most pivotal character in the whole series and here, we discover who he really is… and how far he’ll go to protect the woman he loves.”
