The Wrong Boy

Big house, smart school, horses, swimming pools…Grace Foster-Bryce’s life looks like something out of a glossy magazine. Jay Jones (aka JJ) is a graffiti artist living on a scruffy London council estate.

What could bring these two together?

Grace’s idyllic life comes crashing down when her father is jailed for fraud, and she moves with her mother and little brother to a run-down house backing on to JJ’s estate. When she’s bullied, JJ comes to Grace’s rescue and the two strike up an unlikely friendship and fall in love.

When a crisis occurs, their differing backgrounds threaten to split them apart. Against all odds, can their love survive?

Ibiza Summer

At sixteen, Izzy longs to be like her older sister Ellie. Ellie seems to have everything Izzy would like - a devoted boyfriend, highlights in her hair, a glamorous life style, loads of sophisticated friends, and at twenty- two she is treated like an adult by their parents. However, for her birthday, Izzy receives the gift of a lifetime. Ellie is going on holiday to Ibiza with her friends and she offers to take Izzy with her! At last Izzy has a chance to hang out with an older crowd and do all the things she’s dreamed of…

Izzy uses this as a chance to pretend that she is much older, and she manages to catch the eye of Rex, one of the DJs on the island. But can she keep up the pretence of being the same age as her sister? Falling in love with an older man might be ‘cool’, but it has its hardships. And then a tragedy reveals everything to Izzy…
