'When Caitlyn ventures into the rough, tough world of the South Australian opal fields on a mission to find her estranged father she instead discovers a half-sister she knew nothing about and learns that her father is missing and suspected of a crime.

'Dale is a former city lawyer-turned-lapidary hiding out in Minagoona after death threats endanger him and his daughter. When Caitlyn approaches him for help finding her father, he’s reluctant, but attracted by her determination to right the wrongs dealt to her family. His sense of justice is very much like hers, but when his daughter’s life was threatened by men who wanted him to break the law for them, he fled to protect the child he loves.

'Still the more Dale gets to know Caitlyn, the more he realizes he can’t let her go up against organized crime on her own—which is exactly what she proposes when she sets out to clear her father’s name. No matter what, he’ll do his damnedest to keep her safe—even if it means exposing himself and his daughter to the men who want to kill them…'

1 y separately published work icon Anybody But Him Claire Baxter , North Sydney : Random House Australia , 2013 Z1923148 2013 single work novel romance 'A deliciously funny rom com from Random Romance. What happens when you fall in love with the man you hate?

Nicola Doyle's dating record is a disaster, and it doesn't improve when she returns to Redgum Valley, after an absence of twelve years, to look after her increasingly eccentric parents. There, she's thrown into regular contact with Blair Morrissey - the very reason she couldn't wait to leave town in the first place.

The decade-old scars are still raw from that humiliating day in high school - when Blair went from the boy she loved to the boy she hated.

Except Blair doesn't seem to be a 'bad boy' any more - in fact, he's charming, infuriatingly helpful and extremely attractive.

If only Nicola could forgive and forget . . .' (Publisher's blurb)

'Chase Mattner has come to tranquil, secluded Leo Bay to raise his daughter. In their house by the ocean, he plans a simple life.

'Regan Jantz isn't looking for distractions either. With a tuna farm to run and two young sons to bring up alone, she's got her hands full.

'But as single parents Regan and Chase form a special bond. Taking the kids swimming and for boat trips in the bay makes them feel like a real family. For so long their lives have been like jigsaws without the final pieces. Could a proposal from this gorgeous single dad make them whole again?' (From the author's website.)
