His Replay Girl
If he only had the nerve… Ten years ago, Quinn made the best choice of his life, and the biggest mistake. It’s true, his band, Lionheart, is one of the biggest in the world, but how much does it mean if he can’t tell the woman he loves how he feels?
His Reboot Girl

His Rewind Girl
If he only had a heart.... Cam is as much machine as man. There are days he loathes the CyGes implants that saved his life but couldn't do the same for his family. They replaced his limbs, but now he needs someone to mend his heart.

Late last year, I wrote a contemp romance
novella, called Dorothy’s Red Shoes. I didn’t have an audience in mind, but it
was just one of those stories that called out to be written. Not long after, my
critique-partner and friend, Allyson Lindt, asked me to take a look at a
futuristic romance she’d just finished. The working title was The Tin Man, and
I’m not sure which of us had the lightbulb moment first!
Since we had Dorothy and the Tin Man, we
just needed a scarecrow and a lion, and our story collection – Return
to Emerald City - was conceived. However, Tin Man was set firmly in the
future, around 40 years from now, while I’d written Dorothy in the present day.
We knew that we wanted the stories to all be linked, and to build into a story
arc across the collection, and so I had to make some changes.
