It is a sequel to the book Nothing Left to Lose, but it can be enjoyed even without reading the first book. Now, more about the release.

Book Description: Nate Peters is living the playboy life. He has great friends, a great job, no responsibilities, no girlfriend, and he loves it. Nate, being incredibly skilled with a pick-up line, has never failed to get a girl in his life… until one day he meets Rosie York. Rosie is completely uninterested in him. Being unable to stand a dented ego, Nate makes it his mission to win her over. Not used to putting in much effort, Nate is surprisingly enjoying the chase of this off-limits little brunette. Maybe he has finally met his match… But Rosie has a few surprises of her own which will make it remarkably more difficult for him to get close to her.
*Please note that this is a companion novel to Nothing Left to Lose*
The Author My name is Kirsty. I was born in Hertfordshire, England. In 2000 I moved to Norfolk, it was there that I met my husband, Lee. Now, what can I say about Lee, apart from everyone should have one? He's my biggest supporter, and I wouldn't be where I am today without his encouragement and endless support. He is my inspiration behind most of my male leads, I always try to bring a little of him in somewhere, be it his kindness, selflessness, or just his ability to make me feel treasured. In 2005, I was gifted with the birth of my son. He is, and always will be, the best thing I have ever done in my life. As you can probably tell, I'm a very proud mummy. I have always been interested in writing, but after the birth of my son I accidentally came across an amateur writing site. After a couple of months of just reading on there, I finally plucked up the courage and posted one of my stories. I was shocked and overwhelmed by the support of readers on there and they gave me the confidence to get where I am today. In April 2012, I self-published my first novel ‘The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window’. And in October 2012 I took the plunge again, publishing my second novel, 'Always You.' Lastly, if I had to sum myself up in one word, it would probably be ‘daydreamer’ – but unlike most of my school teachers, I don’t necessarily view that as a bad thing. After all, I read somewhere once that books are like waking dreams….

Fun and frolic

It was a Wednesday again and it was time for our play date. All the amazing ladies turned up with their little ones and soon, Sunshine herded them all to his room and left the mamas alone to chat and gossip. I feel so blessed to have these Wednesday afternoons with these lovely ladies because it is such a great stress buster. Like my dear friend Ms Positive described it, our Wednesday afternoons are loud, crazy and full of fun.

This week, my neighbour also joined us with her kid and she had just come back from a couple of months in India. Somehow we started talking about which is a better place for us to live - India or Germany. We all miss India for sure, but we also like a lot of things about life in Germany. We analysed, reasoned, theorised and came to no conclusion whatsoever. We are all human after all and we would like our German salaries, infrastructure, the cleaner air, law and order with our families and friends, celebrate life itself like in India, the spontaneity, the warmth, friendliness and make a new world for ourselves. Since we do not know of such a place yet and it is not within our power to create such a place, I guess we are enjoying a slice of such a life on Wednesday afternoons.

Holi is coming up and we could not find any colours in the Indian stores in Heidelberg. Fortunately, I managed to find some in Frankfurt, although they were ridiculously expensive. Now, all we have to do is go wild and smear everyone with colour on Monday. Holi hai...

The scarf

It is glorious in our region this week with lots of sunshine and nice spring weather overall. On Sunday, Sunshine, DH and I decided to cycle around a little. I have a collection of scarves and stoles which I rarely use. Since it was really sunny, I decided to tie my hair in a pretty fuchsia scarf. After cycling a little while, I pulled the end of the scarf over my nose and mouth because the sun was really strong and I don't use sunscreen as I am allergic to most of them. That is when the weirdness started.

Before I decided to pull the scarf across my face, I got a couple of curious looks from people who were cycling or walking and even some nods or 'hellos', but after, I got a lot of dropped jaws and strange looks. A bunch of men who probably took cycling very seriously by the looks of their cycles, their outfits and shoes, actually heckled me about the scarf. DH was a little ahead when that happened and Sunshine was on a child seat on his cycle. After that, he asked me to stay close to him and avoid such unpleasant experiences.

I am not a Muslim or a hijab wearer, but I believe I got some first hand experience of the prejudice some women have to face for the choice of attire that they make. I used the scarf only as a environment friendly sun block and I am determined to continue to use it despite the not so pleasant experience.

And I should mention that every time things happen that make me lose a little faith in humanity, something good happens immediately after, to restore it. On our way back, we were lost and asked directions to an older couple who accompanied us all the way back, talked a lot to us and tried to fool around with Sunshine. They saw the same scarf that everybody else saw, but that didn't stop them from being so friendly.
