I Can’t Pretend Anymore

dinneylatch
Matilda Rose Harper, a clumsy 17-year-old city girl from Sydney, gets sent to live with her grumpy uncle in the dusty outback town of Wattle Creek after her parents catch her sneaking out one too many times. There, she meets Jack Thomas Flynn, a cheeky 18-year-old sheep farmer’s son who dreams of escaping small-town life to surf on the coast. At first, they clash—Matilda thinks Jack is a rude country boy, and Jack thinks Matilda is a stuck-up city brat. But when they get stuck working together on a crazy town project (building a giant wombat statue to attract tourists), they start to see each other differently. Through funny mishaps, big fights, and quiet moments under the stars, they fall in love while figuring out who they want to be. Along the way, they deal with jealous exes, wild animals, and family secrets that threaten to pull them apart.

1000 WAYS TO KILL MY CHEATING HUSBAND: THE SCHIZOPHRENIA ROMANCE

1000 Ways to Kill My Cheating Husband: The Schizophrenia Romance Till death do us part. She takes that as gospel, etched into her soul. Not a promise but a command. A law. A binding truth she whispers like a prayer in the dead of night. Elizabeth doesn’t understand love, not the fragile, conditional kind that mortals speak of. But adoration? That, she knows intimately. She adores her husband with a devotion so fierce it borders on worship. She drinks in the sight of him like he’s the last drop of water in a dying world. He is hers, only hers. His laughter, his touch, his thoughts, even the breaths he takes while he sleeps beside her. She burns for him, her desire as endless as the oceans and as consuming as fire. And if another woman dares to look at him, if their gaze lingers a second too long, if they think they can taste even a crumb of what is hers, she will end it. She will end them. She will end him. Because what is hers stays hers. Forever. But here’s the twist: Phil would never betray her. Never. He loves her. But you don’t know that. You, the voices in her head, have seen the way he smiles at strangers. You’ve seen the late nights, the private phone calls, the scent of something unfamiliar that clings to him when he walks through the door. You feed her obsession. You feed her madness. And she feeds you right back. Because Elizabeth isn’t just a woman. She’s an empire. An heiress to unimaginable wealth, a daughter of power, the queen of a kingdom she can burn down with a snap of her fingers. This world bends to her will, even in her insanity. And her husband? He is bound to her by law, by blood, by destiny. Phil doesn’t know it yet, but he belongs to her. His kind eyes, his gentle hands, his foolish heart every inch of him is hers to adore, to love, to destroy. Phil’s job is simple: keep her sane or die trying. But here’s the cruel joke, he’s not just her psychiatrist. He’s in love with her. Stupidly, desperately, recklessly in love. And if he’s not careful, he might just die in love with her.
