Pack 1
Wallaby Lane by Maya Linnell From interviewing local flower growers to
receiving blue ribbons for her show baking, Lauren Bickford's genuine
love for her hometown is almost as strong as her ambition to become a
radio presenter. But is it enough to outweigh the series of on-air
stuff-ups that have plagued her career?
No stranger to this small
winegrowing region in South Australia's Limestone Coast, Jack Crossley
is the new cop in town. He's traded his city beat for a slower pace, and
as a former local, knows only too well that mischief can lurk around
every quiet corner.
For Jack and Lauren, the course of true love
is not running smoothly. Can he restore order in the town before the
neighbourhood watch vigilantes take justice into their own hands? Or are
Jack's biggest worries much closer to home? Can Lauren's reporting
remain impartial as her attraction to Jack grows? Or will her family's
advice lead her completely astray?
Among the Grey Gums by Paula J. Beavan 1842, Hunter Lucy Stewart's
life turns chaotic when she finds herself caught up in a murder
investigation in order to save her brother-in-law, Joe, from the
hangman's noose. Constable Sam Donovan believes the accusations levelled
at Joe Stewart are suspicious at best and feels compelled to work with
Lucy to find the real killer. Getting to know this fiercely independent
woman in the process is a bonus.
Their pursuit brings them to the
attention of the notorious Smokey Gang, and when Lucy is ambushed on a
deserted bush track and threatened, they realise they must be getting
close to finding out what is really going on in the Valley.
Life
has taught Lucy the hard way not to rely on anyone, but Lucy needs Sam's
sleuthing skills. However, she has secrets in her past, the kind that
once revealed change everything, and the only way she can find out if
she can place her confidence in him, is to trust him. And that's the
hard part...
Spring Clean for the Peach Queen by Sasha Wasley Twelve years had passed since the last Harvest Ball.
I was just eighteen when my hometown crowned me their Peach Queen with a blossom coronet. And I was eighteen when I left.
One
tanked career, one badly timed glamour shoot and one dead boyfriend
later, thirty-year-old Lottie Bentz is finally going home.
Back
in the orchard town of Bonnievale, Lottie embarks on a radical declutter
of her life, Marie Kondo-style. She casts out everything that got her
into trouble: her phone, socials, make-up and a tendency to tell little
white lies – to herself and others. But home has its own issues, not
least Lottie’s staunchly feminist mother, who is furious with her.
When
Lottie lands herself a place to stay in exchange for helping kindly Mrs
Brooker try out the Kondo method, it seems like the perfect farm
escape. That’s until Angus, Lottie’s former Peach King and heir to the
Brooker orchards, makes it clear she’s not welcome – especially when
Lottie’s declutter begins to stir up long buried memories and
half-truths.
As Lottie finds her way back to herself, can she use
her talents to coax Bonnievale and the Brookers out of the past? After
all, everyone deserves to feel love, hope and the occasional spark of
joy.
Love & Rome by Jenna Lo Bianco With a one-way ticket home, artist Stella is
running out of time and money. She is desperate to find stable work in
the art world to keep afloat, or she will have to leave her beloved
Eternal City behind. The last thing she needs right now is distractions .
. .
The arrival of the full moon brings both the sweet owner of
the new local bar and a handsome new flatmate. The promise of a new job
and new love suddenly beckon Stella, but she quickly finds herself
repeating patterns she once vowed not to.
In a journey stretching
to enchanting Florence and across the ancient cobblestones of Rome,
Stella must free herself from the mess she's in. But is it too late?
Will it be arrivederci to 'Rome Sweet Home'?
Pack 2
Everyone is guilty of something.
Handywoman
Barb Young has lived in the sleepy coastal town of Bullford Point for
over fifty years - and frankly, in that time, not much has happened,
unless you count that business where a bush turkey managed to board the
ferry a couple of years ago.
When Joe Griffiths returns from
Sydney after six years of drug addiction, jail and, eventually, rehab,
Barb offers him a job, hoping to help him turn his life around. However,
when another new resident of Bullford Point is murdered, Joe becomes
the prime suspect.
Barb thinks the police have got it wrong, but
the more she tries to find the truth and clear Joe's name, the more
confusing things become. Is the murder connected to the developers
circling the waterfront home Joe inherited from his parents? Or to the
true crime podcast he has been making about the death of his
ex-girlfriend, seven years previously? And what was the information the
murdered woman had been trying to horse-trade with police?
As
her off-the-books investigation continues, Barb discovers that drowsy
Bullford Point is actually a town full of secrets - and that even though
she's known everyone in the close-knit community for years ...
everybody lies.
