Settle down with these four novellas, each a complete story in its own right and all with a satisfying ending. Perfect for a mid-week read, or indulge yourself and read them one after the other when you've got more time.
These tales of bikinis and tiaras, hot cops, a purple poodle and even stolen gold are laugh-out-loud funny with humor that's British through-and-through. They're wacky, sweet and sexy, and will transport you from Australia all the way to the UK and all without leaving home.
SMASHED NUTS – Surfers Paradise, Australia Sixteen hundred kilos of German engineering, enough alcohol to preserve a dead wallaby and a crazy woman in possession of both? How's a girl supposed to avoid running into all three? It’s something Brenda’s about to find out first hand while working as one of the famous Surfers Paradise Meter Maids.
ARRESTING OFFICER – Melbourne, Australia Away from their small country town and out from under their mother’s watchful eye, Janey and her sister Maria are making the most of everything city life has to offer including finding husbands who aren’t related before the ceremony. Shame then it’s them helping out a friend that throws their mission into jeopardy and has them tangling with a cop who’s on a mission of his own.
MAID IN CHELSEA – London, England For someone as buttoned-down as Vivienne, life’s coming apart at the seams and there’s no easy way out, with her lack of funds seeing her well and truly stuck. That is until life makes the decision for her, and leaving her no option but to flee. But where’s she to run to? Perhaps Gareth can help?
PADDLE POPS – London, England If you'd told Stef six months ago she'd now be packing for trip to stay in an aristocratic country pile she’d have said you were barking mad. But between stolen gold and the delectable—and very off-limits Liam—this trip promises to be about so much more than practicing her backhand.
Andrene, or Andie as her cozy mystery readers know her, has a love of writing instilled in her by her mum. Irreverent, cutting and reflecting her background as a stand-up comic, her women's fiction in particular is edgy with humour that can be dark in places. Don't be fooled into thinking her horror novel, DietVale, under the pen name Sydney Hunter is dark, dark, dark.
