Riverstone Ridge
Mandy Magro

After making a mistake that felt like the end of the world to her teenage self, Nina Jones fled the small town of Huntingvale. Now sixteen years later her beloved adoptive mother, Bea, has passed away, forcing Nina to return and decide whether to sell her family home, Riverstone Ridge. But even though Bea can’t be there to help her through it all, she’s left Nina five letters, one sent a week, to finally share the secrets she’d been unable to reveal in life.

For Logan Steele, Nina’s return is the catalyst he’s needed to finally move beyond his tragic past and start living again. But only if she stays. When mysterious and increasingly worrisome accidents start happening around the homestead, both Logan’s cop instincts and his protective feelings toward Nina spur him to investigate. Will he be able to piece together the puzzle of the past in time?

And with dark family secrets emerging from Bea’s last words rippling into the present day, how will Nina find the courage to be truthful to the one man who has always held her heart?

Forced to defend herself and a friend from assault by an evil man, she flees downriver on a paddle steamer. With death at her heels, Maggie begins to realise that a man like Sam might be just who she wants in her hour of need. As for Sam, well, Maggie has always been what he wants.

The further Maggie runs, the more she discovers there are some things she cannot escape…

Diamond in the Dust
Mel A Rowe

Is love worth stealing home for?

Drowning in a dusty landscape of broken dreams, a damaged world champion softballer searches for a lost family connection. So crossing paths with the cheeky but charming caretaker, Alex, isn’t what Verily expects to find on her Aunt’s outback farm.

Alex is torn between selling his soul to join the family business or daring to dream of a bigger future. With Verily holidaying at the farmhouse, she’s a curveball he’d love to catch—but she’s also a risk to his heart and homelife he’d rather avoid.

Finding himself in a jam, Alex herds Verily into a wild scheme that could propel his dreams into fruition. Until a feud between old friends threatens to derail everything.

With her return tickets booked, can Alex convince Verily to stay or will they find themselves on opposite sides of the globe forever?

From dusty cattle stations to flourishing mango orchards, welcome to the Elsie Creek series, set in a place where the summer never ends.
