Dinner with your girlfriend’s family – what could go wrong?
With Tim Hughes’ luck, the answer turns out to be everything. Darlene invites him to dinner with her brother and sister-in-law. Instead of awkward conversations, Tim finds himself in the middle of a hostile tête-à-tête meant to teach Darlene a lesson.
All families have drama, right? It’s nothing Tim can’t handle… until a dangerous guest from Darlene’s past makes a surprise appearance.
Bible verses will be quoted. The food will go uneaten. But one thing’s for certain: this will be an evening no one’s going to forget.Free Indeed features: opposites attract, a bi man, a woman discovering her inner strength, a second chance at love, found family, nineties vibes, and Canadianisms.

Why should I buy direct from the author?
When I published my first book in January 2020, someone at work laughed and asked me when I was going to quit my job.
There’s this perception out there that authors are wealthy people. And I’m sure the big names (e.g. Richard Osman, Stephen King, John Scalzi, etc.) are doing just fine.
But it’s not like that for indie authors. It’s tough out there. There are great, amazing things about being an indie author. But most of us aren’t making bank.
You know who is making money out of books? Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.
You may have noticed a move in recent years of indie authors selling their books directly to you. There’s a reason for that.
If you buy a book for 0.99 from Amazon, the author gets to keep maybe 0.26 of that. Maybe. It depends on the file size. And they won’t even get that for around 3 months. But if you buy a book from an author for 0.99, the author gets to keep around 0.83. And we get that money within days.
Because that first book I mentioned? Four years later, it hasn’t come close to paying for itself.
If you can’t buy direct, libraries are a great way to get books for free while still helping authors get their fair share.
What's the deal with audiobooks?
This book will be available as an audiobook just as soon as I have the funds available. I'm a big believer in inclusivity and accessibility. Ideally, I want all my books available in all formats. But, from a pragmatic standpoint, they're expensive to produce.
