'A secret marriage to a not-so-secret agent.

'Former butler Mae Valentine accepted the risk-filled life Major Hamish Kitt led when she married him. He’s out of the field now, teaching other spies how to be spies, until an accident—or terrorism—drags them to tulip fields and sex shops in charming, deadly Amsterdam. It’s tea instead of coffee, nasty little plants, and bar full of monkeys. Soon, Mae wonders if she and a man who will always be spy can ever settle down and grow old together. As treachery unfolds and bodies pile up, Kitt begins to have doubts too.

'A wife. A dog. A home. Three things he never knew he wanted. Can a spy have a happy life, happy wife, or will Mae’s resurrected past destroy it all?'

'A dead butler. A dead spy. A randy little dog.

'Reproduction wines, counterfeit handbags, forged art, and sham relationships trap Mae in a web of phonies, frauds, and liars—with Kitt the greatest liar of them all.

'Spies come back from the dead in movies and books, but this isn't film or fiction and Mae isn't sure what to believe after a spy says, 'I love you,' and everything, including her own life, is nothing but a ruse.'

'A widowed former butler.

'A disagreeable spy.

'A tray of tempting baked goods.

'Trapped in his new home by a healing serious injury that could end his career, Major Kitt's more surly than usual, and his moodiness doesn't shift when his landlady drops by expecting a favour.

'Mae Valentine knows her new tenant is a tad mysterious—turns out he's also a bit of a prick. She's of half a mind to turn around with the Chelsea buns she baked, but that would be impolite.

'It's clear neither one of them suffer fools. Soon, these two professionals find surprising common ground, a service arrangement that suits them both, and changes their lives forever.'

'A butler. A spy. A toilet brush. A romantic suspense cosy spy-thriller-mystery with a dash of grittiness and humour. It's Charade meets Remains of the Day.

'After three years in the employ of a former British army officer turned Risk Assessment Specialist, widowed butler Mae Valentine is familiar with Major Kitt's taste for scrambled eggs, bourbon, and brawling. Kitt knows of Mae's fondness for order, her beloved dead husband, and the millions the man left her in trust. Their easy bond is tested the day Mae kills the man sent to murder her and the trust fund vanishes. 

'Soon, a volcano, a hand roasting in an oven, and a fish named Shirley accentuate sinister machinations that involve Mae and the missing money. To keep her safe from women in ugly shoes, homicidal bankers, and Mafia henchmen, Kitt risks exposing his true profession, which doesn't trouble him as much as being in love with a woman who's still in love with a dead man. If he can't protect Mae, he'll lose the best butler—and scrambled eggs—a spy ever loved.'

'A love of ‘70s bubblegum pop music isn’t the only unusual thing about William Murphy — being a six-foot-three albino also makes a guy stand out. Will’s life is simple and he likes it that way. But when he meets his new next-door neighbour, complicated begins to look rather attractive.

'Caroline’s trying to put her past behind her and grab life by the balls, which means finding new friends besides her dog, Batman. Will offers her neighbourly friendship, and as they bond over old movies, Caroline regains her confidence and unexpected love blooms.

'But real life’s not like the movies, and their cute romantic comedy goes all Fatal Attraction when her vengeful ex shows up. Will learns that nothing about Caroline is quite the way it looks, and his simple life turns more complicated than he could ever imagine.'

1 y separately published work icon Driving In Neutral Sandra Antonelli , Chatswood : Escape Publishing , 2014 7678886 2014 single work novel romance

'A new, quick-witted, quip-heavy romance for grown-ups from Sandra Antonelli about facing your fears — because love is the greatest risk of all.

'Levelheaded Olivia Regen walks away from her car-racing career and the wreckage of a bad marriage to take on new work that’s far removed from the twists of racetrack. Her new life is about control, calm and the good friends that she adores.

'But her first task on her very first day involves getting up close and too personal with her claustrophobic boss, alone in a broken elevator. Her unconventional solution for restoring his equilibrium shocks them both and leaves Olivia shaken.

'Determined to stick to her plan, Olivia drives headlong into work and planning her best friend’s wedding, leaving no room for kissing, elevators, or workplace relationships. But Emerson is not one to be out-manoeuvred. Can he convince Olivia that her fear of falling in love again is just another kind of claustrophobia – one that is destined to leave them both lonely?'

The woman ruined his brother’s life. Now that she’s back in town, Dominic’s afraid she’ll drag up the past, the secrets, and the pain.

This basic renovation becomes a major life refurbishment for them both.'

'By day, Willa is a mild-mannered scientist; by night, she's on the trail of stolen classified documents. Technically that makes Detective John Tilbrook on her side, but Willa has secrets she can’t share.

'John is instantly fascinated by the new physicist on the block, even though Willa keeps her distance. A fan of coincidence and happy endings, John has plans for the secretive scientist with the wicked sense of humour.

'But Willa has more than her heart on the line – her best friend is at the top of the suspect list for espionage, she’s having trouble leading her double life, and somehow her hair just turned purple. As days speed past, Willa’s life unravels as she struggles to come to terms with her unexpected feelings for a man she just met. John’s a big fan of happily-ever-afters, but will he believe in love and happiness when Willa divulges the real reason she’s in town? Will he break the law he’s sworn to uphold — for love?'
