My life story and to encourage and inspire others to never give up on their dreams

Here is a short sample from the book:

How many years had it been since David asked her the question that had changed her life? It seemed like yesterday but was actually almost ten years before, ten long years to come full circle to this point in her life. Suddenly the plane felt smaller and her throat had gotten tighter, she licked her lips and tried to close her eyes in order to calm down, was she really going home? And what was going to happen when she got there?
Her mind went back in time to the first time they met, she was thirteen and she was in a phone booth with her friend Roberta, he drove by on his bike, he had black hair and blue eyes, dark blue like the sky on a stormy day. Then he smiled at her with such a sweet smile it took her breath away.
She nudged Roberta.“Did you see him? He smiled at me” Without missing a beat she said, “No, you were mistaken, he was smiling at me” Roberta always thought everything was about her, but Deja knew that smile was for her and her alone, it was a smile that stole her heart and would change her life forever.

    What he did to her by S M Mala

    0 out of 5

    Conor’s life consists of drugs, drink and getting dirty with as many women as possibly. He doesn’t care about the size, shape or colour as long as they want uncomplicated fun then he’s happy. For him love and relationships come with dire consequences and that’s not how he wants to live his life.

    To Conor’s dismay, he finds his married boss Marcus, is having a fling with his very own sister Debs, and Conor has been asked to cover the trail by lying to the boss’s wife. The only problem is that he works with Neve and she’s no pushover.

    When everything comes out into the open, his loyalty to friends and family are put to the test as people he thought he knew well are not what they seem. And when an ex walks back into his life he is once again ruled by the snake in his pants knowing she’s more than a handful to deal with.

    Conor begins to find his simple hedonistic life being taken over by other people’s clouded judgement on their need for love, while he tries to avoid the same thing happening to him.

    Except ‘love’ is creeping up on him in an unexpected place that he would just about do anything to avoid. And temptation is going to lead him and his loved ones into trouble with serious consequences.
