Hi Everyone

We are down to the last couple of days here in Maryborough. Our next stop is further north to the city of Bundaberg where we will be staying for a month.

We have been kept busy here purchasing a new car and catching up on a few bits and pieces. The time ahead should now be a little more peaceful with more sightseeing.

For those in the area, it has now been announced that I will be signing at Love on the Beach Gold Coast on 24 February 2024. It's been a long time since I did a signing and I am very excited for this one. For those who can attend, I will have some extra special swag and watch this space in the new year for when I have a special giveaway for those who can't.

I am busy at the moment finalising the interior of the CEO's Country Gal which releases next month and is up for pre-order. I had fun returning to writing an Australian story and have done a couple of others since, including Diving to the Top.

Until next time.

Thank you so very much for your support.

Elizabeth loved the wide open spaces, isolation, and cattle station she had grown up on in the top end of Australia, but she was ready for a change.

She wanted to dip her toes into the waters of the big city, so Sydney, NSW, was where she headed on her adventure.

Hudson was busy running a multi-billion dollar corporation and had no time for anyone serious in his life. Or so he thought.

He was frozen in place when the gorgeous brunette appeared in his life and was, for the first time ever—speechless.

But, there is more than what meets the eye with this pair and things are about to get a whole lot more interesting when the CEO finds out he’s the new boss of his outback gal.

You know that stress inventory you can take? You get points for each of a long list of disastrous life events? Let’s just say I have lost count.

In the last year alone, I’ve lost my husband (and his brother), sold our home, moved across the country, quietly quit my job, watched my closest friend-slash-sister-in-law move out of the country, and…well, I guess that’s it. Could be worse, right?

So, here I am. My name is Holland Gallagher, and I'm a 27 year old MBA with no job and a broken heart. Which, of course, is when my best friend-slash-mother-in-law Naomi introduces me to her oldest and dearest friend, Kai Ipu. He’s the empirically attractive Black-slash-Samoan CEO of a corporate consulting firm (think a started-in-his-dorm-room company with an eye to making corporations better citizens of the world). But I’m a mess, and he’s significantly older than I am. So, I don’t have to worry about that, right? You’d think.

He just invited me to join his company. I’m never one to turn down a challenge, so here goes everything.

Loosely based on the Bible book of Ruth (but with f-bombs from Kai, Holland’s drunken confessions of adoration, and one spicy sex scene), Holland, My Heart is the first in a collection of biblical women’s stories retold as contemporary romance. Holland, My Heart is an MF, dual POV, love-after-loss, sexy, witty standalone.

When desire and temptation collide, passion consumes.

Forced into an arranged marriage with a man even more dangerous than her father, Chiara Bertinelli is not having it. Nothing will keep her from freeing herself of the shackles of the mafia world. Not even the ruthless man who tries to sneak in her heart. And her bed.

But winning his wife over is harder than he expected. He’s patient and follows a strategy: make her see a life with him is better than the elusive chase of freedom. Yet, she's reluctant to give in.

She’s everything he's wanted in a woman.

He’s everything she has been trying to escape.

Their nights are filled with passion, their days are filled with plotting.

All is fair in love and war.

After eight years of serving in the Army, Cameron Hutchinson is finally home. The lush green pastures and rolling hills of Alabama is a sight for sore eyes. So is the sight of Samantha Kincaid.

Cameron Hutchinson was the last person Samantha expected to see when she pulled up to her best friend’s farm. Once the object of every girl’s desire, including hers, the handsome former high school football star has doubled in size since she saw him last. But that was years ago when he barely knew she existed. Judging by the way his hazel eyes sweep over her now, it's safe to say that’s no longer the case.

Now, with more in common than they realize, fate has led them both back to their hometown. Will Cameron find forever with the farmer’s daughter, or will the guilt and grief he and Samantha carry endanger their future together?

When Joanne McCarthy was given the opportunity to join a company as a Construction Diver, in a world dominated almost completely by men, a long-held dream finally came true.

Joanne was aware the career she had chosen didn’t have a glass ceiling for women that would be difficult to shatter—It had one of solid steel which couldn’t be penetrated.

Or so she thought.

Less than four years later, the respected construction diver found herself in a position she never imagined was possible. Somehow, Joanne had found a way around the steel barrier and was now running her small part of the world.

Boston Canon, a respected scientist, cared about the ocean and the creatures who call the environment home.

When he and his business partner finally received permission to research the ocean and reef nearby a new platform, he was elated.

What he wasn’t prepared for was the beautiful woman in charge. A woman whose work was in opposition to his own.

Can these two find common ground?

Or will their opposing work goals tear them apart?
