Summary
Carla and Lisa are officially head over heels and completely smitten.
But going from a holiday romance, where the only thing they had to worry about was Pam wondering off alone, to real life, which means learning how to merge two high-powered careers, navigate their nosey local community, and handle the best (and most delightfully overwhelming) in-laws on the planet – there's bound to be some comical mayhem involved.
Expect funny chaos, soft domestic sweetness, hilarious family antics, and two women falling deeper in love every single day. The fake relationship is officially over – and the best chapter is just beginning.
The sequel to “I Panicked And Said Your Name”

At seven and a half years old, all Lisa Swain wants to do is sit in her tree and read her book. Unfortunately, William Boyd has other plans for Lisa, plans she doesn't agree with.
Carla Donovan just wanted to hide from her Mam's latest no good boyfriend so she wouldn't be forced into peddling his drugs around the estate but Carla hates bullies more than she hates George. When Carla steps in to help rid Lisa of her pest, the two form an unlikely bond with shared secrets and unpleasant experiences breaking down social barriers.
But when William goes missing and Carla and Lisa are the last people to see him alive, questions are asked and fingers are pointed, changing both their lives forever.

Summary
Lisa Swain is perfectly happy with her life. At least, that’s what she keeps telling everyone.
But when Lisa’s brother Liam and his wife Rachel decide it’s time Lisa got back on the dating scene, Betsy takes matters into her own hands and accidentally names Lisa’s best friend, Carla Connor, as the mysterious woman she’s been secretly seeing.
What starts as a harmless lie quickly spirals out of control.
Because the more Lisa insists Carla is just her best mate, the harder it becomes to ignore how much that friendship means to her.
And maybe some feelings are easier to recognise when everyone else sees them first.

Summary
The pain in her chest becoming unbearable.
The image of Carla’s tear stained face wedged behind her eyelids like a cruel joke.
She leans up against the cold hard wall outside.
The cool air slapping her face like a much needed reprieve from whatever the fuck that was inside.
Her body doubled over, the palms of her hands resting on her thighs trying to somehow ground herself.
Her breathing is heavy and shallow.
The first signs of a panic attack rising through her body with speed.
Tears threaten to spill from her eyes.
What the fuck just happened?
Carla kissed her.
Carla fucking kissed her.

Summary
A delayed flight leads to a chance meeting which might just change the lives of Carla Connor and Lisa Swain forever. Strangers, independently travelling to Ibiza for very different reasons, the two women's paths converge as their plane is unexpectedly delayed. What begins as a way to pass time quickly grows into a tentative friendship with a chemistry bubbling thinly beneath the surface between them. When circumstances grow tense at the hotel, will Carla's presence prove a hindrance or a help as Lisa confronts a problem from her past in the shape of her narcissistic, manipulative ex-wife.
A frivolous, short side project to allow some more light-hearted writing while my other two stories are a bit heavier at present. And a challenge to myself to a) not injure any character so badly the need hospitalisation in this story and b) cram as many tropes in as possible lol.

Carla’s head had lifted slowly, brow arching. “You’re telling me I can’t?”
“You know what I mean.”
“No, actually, I don’t.” Carla had responded. “Sarah’s asked to see me. I’ve got a visiting order. So I’m going to see her.”

Lisa’s insistence that Carla not go to the prison to see Sarah is because she has something to hide

For the second time in her life, Carla Connor-Swain opens the front door and discovers a child.
At least this second time, the discovery is not unexpected.
It feels absurd anyway - where is the social worker?
(Although, Carla reflects, it probably can’t be more absurd than being kidnapped twice within the same year.)
