Behind the Lines - Coming 2026
Some relationships don't fit neatly into the space other people leave for them. The Lines Trilogy follows Mia and Joe through the joy, the cost, and the quiet courage of choosing each other anyway.
Her mum used to date him. That's the part Mia doesn't mention when she tells people about Joe — the controlled, quietly commanding man who came back into her life on a Tuesday night and hasn't really left since. She's twenty-three. He's older. The history is complicated. What happens next is not. What unfolds between them is unexpected, intense, and entirely theirs — if they can navigate everything and everyone standing between them and something real. Mia's Taboo. Book 1 of the Lines Trilogy.
Buy NowThey found each other. That was supposed to be the hard part. Mia and Joe are together — openly, deliberately, against the odds. But getting there was the easy problem. What comes next is harder: living it, defending it, and holding it together when everything around them starts to pull. Old wounds resurface. New pressures arrive. And the question that wouldn't stay buried — whether love is enough when the world keeps asking them to prove it — is about to get its most difficult answer yet. Reckoning with Demons. Book 2 of the Lines Trilogy.
Pre-order Now →The final chapter in the trilogy. Will Mia have a happy ending?
Coming SoonJoel Hicks writes emotionally charged fiction exploring power, desire and the consequences that follow unconventional decisions — while staying true to real life experiences that could be yours.
His work focuses on complex relationships and the tension between control and vulnerability. Drawing on a life lived between the UK, Europe and the United States — across careers in project management, IT, tourism, real estate and a spell as a sailboat skipper — his stories examine what happens when ideas that started out clear begin to blur.
He came to fiction late. With a family background steeped in literature, writing had always been in his orbit, but Joel didn't start putting his own stories down until his late fifties. He hasn't been able to stop since.
