This is the second book of eight brand-new stories from some of Australia's hottest writers in Australia's hottest genre. From the bar stools of the local pub to the wide open plains of the biggest stations in the world, these tales travel the dusty roads to the heart of Australia and the women who understand how to work hard—and play even harder. In the latest in the wildly successful Secret Confessions series from Escape Publishing, the women of Down & Dusty invite you into their lives—and—their bedrooms. *-* Welcome to the HEART - and HEAT - of Australia … They say that no one has secrets in a small town - these women prove them wrong. As the single female owner of Milpinyani Spring's only pub, Lucky had learned that her behaviour has to be above reproach. She works hard at home, and when she needs to play hard, she does so—far away from the prying eyes of her neighbours and friends... So when the hot new cop swaggers up to the bar, she knows the rules: look, don't touch. But Dare doesn't know how to play her game, and—he's about to show her that the only rules that count are the ones that you break. *-* Secret Confessions: Down & Dusty Book #1: Casey by Rachael Johns Book #2: Lucky by Cate Ellink Book #3: Kelly by Fiona Lowe Book #4: Brooke by Eden Summers Book #5: Clarissa by Mel Teshco Book #6: Skye by Rhyll Biest Book #7: Maree by Elizabeth Dunk Book #8: Frankie by Jackie Ashenden
