'For almost a decade, successful 37-year-old Samira Broderick has used her bustling LA practice as an excuse to avoid a trip home to Australia. She still resents her meddling Indian mother for arranging her marriage to a man who didn't stick around when the going got tough, but now with a new job Down Under, she's finally ready to reconnect with her. And while she's there, a hot international fling might be just what she needs to get out of her recent funk.

'Aussie stuntman, Rory Radcliffe, has been hiding his stutter for years by avoiding speaking roles. When a job he can't refuse comes up as a reality show host, he knows he'll need some help for the audition: a dialect coach. But he finds himself at a loss for words when he discovers it's the same sexy woman with whom he just had a mind-blowing one-night stand...

'Samira can think of many reasons why Rory is completely wrong for her: he's ten years her junior, for one, and he's not Indian—something Samira's mother would never approve of. Even if things were to get serious, there's no reason to tell her mother ... is there?'

'He's as handsome as I remember: broad shoulders, piercing blue eyes, hair the colour of burnt toffee.

'The man who once meant the world to me. The reason I fled eleven years ago. I've never told anyone the terrible mistake I made that night. The secret we share. I'm still haunted by the crashing waves at the bottom of the cliffs, the blood...

'But what is he doing at my sister's house?

'And then I see her. My baby sister. She smiles, she tips her hand so I can see the ring. And his arm slides around her waist, pulling her close...'

'Cashel Burgess’s PR team have come up with a plan to show his ‘softer’ side by entering a Valentine’s Day competition to find Australia’s most romantic couple. The hitch? He doesn’t even have a girlfriend. But that’s not about to stop him...

'Gardener Lucy Grant hates Valentine’s Day. But when Cash makes her an offer too good to refuse, Lucy finds herself half of the most cynical couple in Australia! The only problem is — when a man fakes it this well, a girl might be tempted to turn fiction into fact...'
