Eliza’s Gift
By Rachael Herron
Only one thing stands between Abigail and her dream life.
And it’s cowboy-shaped …
When Abigail Durant inherits a cottage from her friend, the world-famous knitting guru Eliza Carpenter, she sees it as her chance to start anew after the terrifying end of her last relationship.
Only problem is, the cottage is slap-bang in the middle of a sheep ranch owned by Cade MacArthur, Eliza’s tall, dark and infuriating nephew.
Cade’s a man’s man, a cowboy through and through, and he’s none too pleased there’s now a young – albeit very pretty – woman living on his property. And that’s before she tells him she plans to turn her new home into a knitting shop …
With battlelines drawn, city girl and cowboy go head to head. But soon, with the sexual chemistry fizzing between them, both start to question the real nature of Eliza’s gift …

Lucy’s Kiss
By Rachael Herron
Lucy never forgot ‘The Kiss’. Or the bad boy she shared it with.
Now, 17 years later, he’s back – and, dammit, he’s still sexy as hell …
As owner of The Book Spire in the sleepy town of Cypress Hollow, Lucy Harrison isn’t used to too much excitement. But in one night all that changes when Owen Bancroft walks back into her life and sparks – quite literally – fly.
The question is, does he even remember their one perfect kiss?
And, perhaps more importantly, does she really want him to?
Then, when a secret stash of books and lost patterns by world-famous knitting guru Eliza Carpenter is discovered in the Bancroft family home, the pair is thrown together once more. There’s no denying the electricity between them – but this time will ‘bad penny’ Owen prove to be heart-stealer or heart-breaker?

Free-Falling
By Nicola Moriarty
Sometimes you just have to let go …
The fiancée
Belinda’s life is in free-fall after the sudden death of her fiancé Andy. But then ghostly signs begin to appear which suggest he might not really be gone. And Belinda begins to tumble even further.
Will his final parting gift be enough to save her?

Evelyn McGavin, Andy’s mum, is also struggling. She copes with her sorrow by shoplifting (once), hating Belinda (constantly) and jumping out of a plane. In her skydiving instructor, Baz, she finds an unexpected friend. But why is he so agitated when he hears how Andy died?
Two women, both united and separated by grief.
And yet still linked in a most unexpected way …
Free-Falling is a beguiling tragic-romantic comedy – of heartbreak and heroism, grief and ghostly dreams …

Bella’s Run
By Margareta Osborn
Bella Vermaelon and her best friend Patty are two fun-loving country girls bonded in a sisterhood no blood tie could ever beat.
Now they are coming to the end of a road trip which has taken them from their family farms in the rugged Victorian high country to the red dust of the Queensland outback.
For almost a year they have mustered on cattle stations, cooked for weary stockmen, played hard at rodeos and outback parties. Dancing through life like a pair of wild tumbleweeds.
And with the arrival of Patty’s brother Will and
Bella’s cousin Macca, it seems love is on the horizon too …
Then a devastating tragedy strikes, and
Bella’s world is changed for ever.
So she runs – from the only life she has ever known.
But can she really turn her back on the man she loves?
Or on the land that runs deep in her blood?
