\This is a revised edition\ A cheating fiancé, a one night stand, and a lost Jimmy Choo… After Claire Bower, a sensible and practical bakery owner, finds her fiancé of five years in bed with another woman, she kicks him to the curb with a face slap, some cathartic personal property destruction and a few choice words, then heads to Melbourne for some well-deserved retail therapy and decadent food indulgences. She never expected to wake up in a strange (but luxurious) hotel room with a total blank of what had happened the night before. She also didn’t expect to spend the following night in the company of the charming, delicious and swoon-worthy Ben Donovan. Her short stint in Australia’s food and wine capital has her meeting not one, but two exciting men who see her as more than the plain and boring Claire she has always thought herself to be. When Claire returns to her ‘real life’ on the Sunshine Coast, she finds herself torn between two men, one a mysterious stranger she cannot for the life of her remember, but has nonetheless started a strange but fun text relationship with; and the other, a dreamy, sweet and ridiculously rich Brisbane lawyer who seems to adore her. If that’s not bad enough, she is also on a mission to save her floundering business and finds herself the object of affection for an obsessed stalker. Maybe being a ‘plain Jane’ wasn’t so bad after all.

A playbor architect and an interior designer with control issues... Architect, Sean Donovan is a confirmed bachelor, happy to play the field and avoid the corporate merger of marriage (as modelled by his parents). All he wants is to build his business, date pretty (though vapid) women and spend his down time renovating his house and playing with his dog, Connor. That is until he meets Coley. Coley McKenzie is a newly minted Interior Designer who lands a job on Sean’s latest project, and she is determined to put her past behind her and build her reputation as a professional designer. But after a disastrous first day in which she ends up wrestling in the mud with both a hairy dog and a Thor look-a-like (ruining her brand new Christian Louboutins in the process), things become increasingly more complicated. Can Sean and Coley navigate interfering brothers, evil stepmothers and sexual tension (thick enough to carve with a knife) to finish the project with enough panache to establish them both as designers of merit and without either of them being scarred for life?

They met under the worst possible circumstances… A serious accident on the job brought James into the ER and right into Isabella’s world, then she followed him into his. James lives in the back-end of nowhere but after a serious accident leaves him blinded and scarred, he is forced to seek help in order to return to the outback that he loves. He has always been independent and self-sufficient and the thought of having to rely on someone else for the simplest things causes his temper to fray. Added to the fact that he is struggling with injuries that could potentially end his career and cause him to leave his beloved home in the outback, James is more than a beast to live with. Isabella is sick of being treated like a doormat by her family and wants a change. When an incident at work ends in her being suspended without pay, she jumps at the opportunity to for a career change. What she didn’t count on was being isolated in a North West Queensland country town with a surly man who refuses to see the positive side of life. Can Isabella look past the hurt and abrasive side of James to the soft heart underneath and help him to realise that his scars are only skin deep?

Jane Weston has a five year plan and that is to be the best damn Senior Executive Assistant that Donovan Theiss has ever had and nothing was going to stand in her way. Nothing, that is, except the adorably nerdy Brian Pullings. Her attraction to him makes her question the validity of her plan.

Can an ‘Uptown Girl’ and a computer nerd find love on a beautiful tropical island? Charlene Donovan has always had everything she wanted, but living the life of a party girl doesn’t really fulfil her, she wants more and has decided that her previous spoiled princess routine needs to change. David has always admired Charlene from afar, but knew she was way out of his league even if the ‘List’ didn’t make it perfectly obvious. Besides, he is too busy trying to make his mark on the technical world to even give her more than an admiring glance. When a chance meeting on a romantic tropical island cause their worlds to collide, can these two young lovers from different socioeconomic backgrounds overcome peer pressure and well meaning, but misguided, manipulations to find their happily ever after?
