LAVENDER HAZE

Her big city plans don’t belong in this small-town life.

Elsie Sanders
Returning to Faulkner Fields for my brother’s wedding is like a slap of purple to the face. From the moment I arrive in town, I regret returning early. I said I’d help my soon-to-be sister-in-law finalise her wedding plans. I never said I’d work with my brother’s best friend, Cooper Faulkner.
The lavender farmer broke my heart the last time I tried to come home, and I’ve stayed away ever since. But he needs me, even if he doesn’t like my big city ideas.
Cooper Faulkner
When I agreed to host my best friend’s wedding on my family’s lavender farm, I never agreed to coddle his fiancée’s ever-changing mind. And I certainly never agreed to work with his sister to get everything done before the big day.
Elsie Sanders is finally back in Faulkner Fields, and the same sparks I once felt for her are reigniting. But last time she was here, I broke her heart, and this time, her stay is temporary.

Lavender Haze is a sizzling brother's best friend, small town novella about first loves, second chances, and returning to your roots.

HIGHER GROUND

She shouldn’t want to stay. He doesn’t want to convince her to go.

Under the threat of widespread flooding, Emory Mayfield must put her dreams of leaving Gardner Creek on hold and evacuate her tiny cottage. But in a town where everyone knows her name but no one says hello, there's only one dry place left for her to go. And the only thing worse than being flooded in with her ex-boyfriend's dad is falling for him.

In his mid-forties, Byron Gardner knows his time on the farm is limited. But he doesn't like change any more than he likes feeling lonely in his big, empty farmhouse. Until that change is Emory, brightening his life and warming his bed.

Temptation is rising faster than the floodwaters, and staying dry might end up costing Emory everything.

Higher Ground is a contemporary romance set in a small Australian town. It's a story of forbidden, all-consuming love, following your dreams, and making tough choices.

BECAUSE OF LOVE SERIES

BECAUSE OF US

Oliver

I thought I'd be helping people, but instead I'm stuck teaching them to be just like the rest of us. Uninspired and undervalued.
When Madison shows up in the front row, I'm captivated by her refreshing spirit. I can't take my eyes off her, even though I should. Madison is off limits, but she is perfect.

Madison

The one person I could always rely on has left. My sister fell in love and moved across the country and I feel more alone than ever.
Oliver makes me feel seen, but I know he is holding back. I can't blame him. I shouldn't blame him. Our love is against the rules.

Cassidy

I always want what I can’t have: My business to succeed through winter. Someone to kiss me goodnight without the pressure to settle down and start a family. And now, my old high school flame.

When Callum moves in across the hall, he is just as handsome and flirtatious as I remember. Years ago, I thought we were perfect together. But our worlds now are far too different. Mostly because of the other girl in his life. His daughter.

Callum

This is not the life I planned: A broken marriage. A bitter custody battle. And an undeniable attraction to the woman I shouldn’t want.

Cassidy is a ghost from my past. A reminder of the old me. The one who was carefree and thought the best of people, instead of the worst. And I can’t shake the feeling that our lives have been thrown back together for a reason. I just need to convince her that we’ll work this time.

Because of Her is a steamy romance about friendship, love and accepting the unexpected. A standalone story, it is the first full length novel in the Because of Love series.

BECAUSE OF THEM

Michael

My life is changing, and I’m not sure I like it. I’m definitely not ready for it.

My dad wants me to take over the family business, my mum wants me to settle down. And Audrey wants me to be the man she deserves. The man they deserve.

I want to be him too, but I keep messing up.

Audrey

Just when I thought I was settling into my new life, two little lines threw all my plans out the window.

I was building my career, adjusting to life as a single mum, and had no desire to ever change a dirty nappy again.

But plans change, just like I need Michael to.

BECAUSE OF ME

Amira

There’s nothing fun about my family. They’re full of old habits and overbearing views, and if I can’t make my parents proud, I’ll have to fake it instead.

Noah was the lifeline I needed to escape my father’s scrutiny. My unexpected saviour in the form of my best friend’s cousin.

But I’ve just spun our web of lies a little too thick, and now I need more of his help than either of us planned.

Noah

Nothing in my life has come easily. So when I inherited a winery from a grandmother I never met, I was determined to see it succeed. Now that it’s thriving, I still thank luck, more than skill.

It was that same luck that found me at a wedding pretending to be Amira’s boyfriend. Now, I can’t get her out of my head.
