Note from Kris: When I started writing the South & Sexy books set in Wellington I decided to make my city the link between the different standalone novels and to keep the stories intensely focused on one couple at a time. Then I thought it would be fun to write a prequel to introduce you to at least one of the characters from each book and to show you how their lives do indeed interweave. Enjoy! This free fifteen minute read starts in the New Zealand spring, with many of my people yearning for better lives than they’re currently living. Maybe by Christmas they’ll have their happiness…
