Forced to choose between the life she wants and the man she loves,
Cassia opts for fame and fortune. But it's not enough—one taste and she's
hooked again...
Despite her success in the Sydney art world, Cassia yearns for the
idyllic life she once lead with Jake in their shack over looking the Pacific Ocean.
Seeking closure she falls, like an addict, straight back into his arms, and out
again equally quickly. Not only has he taken up with his brother's wife, but it
seems they have a child. Truth is, Jake's living a lie, sworn to secrecy, and
hamstrung by the debt he owes his estranged family. But one glimpse of Cassia
and he knows he cannot live without her. Her fey, artistic character and
magical body possess his imagination and his heart. Can he convince her to
trust him long enough to save the crumbling remains of their relationship?
Georgie can run but she can't hide from the man who stalks her
dreams and throws her ordered life into a tailspin.
Emotional entanglement is not on Georgie Martin's to do list. She
has turned her back on her sophisticated Sydney lifestyle, determined to
renovate her parents old flower farm and her shattered ego. However, the
challenges prove more than she bargained for until a madcap scheme comes to
fruition and the Protea Boys are born. The team of handsome hunks solves her
farming problems, but their leader presents a different kind of challenge - their
first spark of attraction ignites a passion she cannot ignore. Tom Morgan likes
his women "pretty and entertaining," not "efficient and
driven," but the threat of being co-opted as a wine waiter or worse, chef
in his brother's restaurant encourages him to take up what he sees as the
highly amusing challenge of managing the Protea Boys. It is the perfect
distraction while he waits for a new assignment - or so he thinks until he
realizes he has found the one woman he cannot run away from.

photographer Xander Fitzgerald takes a shot of Jeanie Baker, his ISO settings
hit red alert and no one’s life is ever the same again.

town girl happy running the Café Cinématique with her grandmother—but with
Xander’s arrival her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself

new life is at once both terrifying and strangely liberating, and in Xander’s
company she blossoms into a woman she hardly recognizes. But the sophisticated
life of Sydney is full of smoke and mirrors and when her past comes back to
haunt her all she wants is to head home, back to passionfruit pie and her
grandmother’s warm hug. Xander discovers he can’t have his cake and eat it too.
He has to make some serious decisions, but is he prepared to give away
everything he has worked for to win the woman he first glimpsed through the
lens of his camera?
MATILDA’S FREEDOM by Tea Cooper
An unconventional woman clashes with colonial society in this
spicy and sweet Australian-set historical romance.
His carefree bachelor days over, Christopher Matcham returns to
Sydney to take responsibility for his mother, two stepsisters, and the family
property. Fortune smiles on him when he is introduced to Matilda Sweet, a woman
in need of work. Though unusual, Christopher senses that her fresh ideals and
positive outlook can only benefit his sisters, so he hires her as a companion.
By the time they arrive at Christopher’s family home, the two are fast friends
but Matilda’s unorthodox ways and her convict heritage make her a second-class
citizen to the family. Christopher has responsibilities, and they include an
advantageous match. A breeches-wearing, fish-pond-swimming, plain-talking
convict’s daughter will never figure in. After all, romance is a luxury the
upper classes cannot afford…
