'At 18, Julia Jones left for the city with a head full of grand plans for an exciting life that certainly didn't include her home town of Middle Point on the coast of South Australia – or Ryan Blackburn.
Fifteen years later, she's forced to put her big city life on hold and go home to finalise her mother's estate. When she runs smack bang into Ryan, the town's new champion, the sensible thing would be to head back on Melbourne as fast as her stilettos can carry her.
But Julia finds his offer of a helping hand and a hot body too good to refuse. What she doesn't realise is that saying goodbye to her home town – and to Ry – will be so much harder the second time around.' (Publisher's blurb)
'From Escape's queen of ro-magic comedy comes a sweet, emotional contemporary romance about the pleasures of making a wish and seeing it come true.
'When Dr Sylvia Greene makes an impromptu wish at the Tarrin’s Bay Wishing Festival, it's the most out of character action she can think of. Hers is not a life of wishes. Hers is a controlled life of order, plans and preparation…of science and research and diagnosis and treatment. But her past has been weighing on her mind, and decisions made long ago have far-reaching consequences.
'A week later, the daughter she secretly gave up for adoption at sixteen arrives in Sylvia's small coastal town with secrets that can't be shared. Between feelings of guilt, gossip, and a growing attraction to an emotionally unavailable colleague, Sylvia's well-ordered life is soon thrown into chaos. She is no longer alone, and for the first time she feels as if her world is open to possibilities.
'They say be careful what you wish for, but, for Sylvia, the unexpected consequences may be just what the doctor ordered. ' (Publication summary)
