and do we have some stories for you. Chaos Bound – Rebekah Turner. The fast-paced, witty, darkly humorous, addictive answer to Urban Fantasy fatigue. The first in this series was chosen as one of our launch titles. The second takes it all to a new level.

The Wicked Confessions of Lady Cecelia Stanton – Viveka Portman. Erotic, funny, shocking, risk, carnal, seductive. I can’t say enough good things about these erotic historical novellas, told in diary format. This is number two.

Inheritance – Kate Loveday.  Australian rural romance with a fish-out-of-water, David-vs-Goliath, eco-tourism twist. Add in a dash of suspense, one beautiful rival, winning secondary characters, and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect summer read.

Bitter Fruits – Sarah Daltry. Think you know vampire romance? You might want to check yourself – and this dark, epic, new adult fantasy story about an eternal battle, an immortal struggle, an infinite rivalry – and the girl who finds herself stuck in between.

His Convict Wife – Lena Dowling. An emotional, engaging, rich Australian historical romance that flattens the class structure and looks away from the aristocracy to prove that love exists for everyone – even a free-born settler and his workhouse wife. Lovers of The Convict’s Bounty Bride will thrill to a revisit of James and Thea, and a poignant subplot.

A Life Worth Living – Amanda Caham. In her query letter, Amanda told me that sleep medicine is the new ER: affecting, dramatic, with high stakes and a focus on heartbeats. If this sweet story about a nurse who knows what she wants and a doctor who’s terrified of moving forward is anything to go by, she might very well be right.

Riley’s Billionaire – Sunny Cole. Think Australian romances are all about dust and dungarees? Welcome to Wine Country, the billionaire family who own some of the most influential vineyards in the world – and the heiress, presumed lost forever. For readers who love it when a business decision gets intensely personal…

And for those who are looking for a little holiday cheer…

Secret Santa – Rhian Cahill. Rhian returns to the addictive, sweet, loosely connected group of friends she introduced last year, in the glittering world of Sydney’s elite. This year, Morgan, the famed restaurateur decides that he’s going to go after the only thing he really wants – his beautiful, distant restaurant manager.

A Sprite’s Tale – Lexxie Couper. For readers who like their holidays hot comes this short, sparky, sexy story about Santa’s nephew, a run-in with a Qantas jet, a bushland sprite, and one very secluded beach.

One Sweet Christmas – Darlene Fredette. Meet Candace Cane and Jackson Frost – and a sweet, sugary, bite-sized novella about a small town chocolate shop, the local boy-made-good, a guilty secret, and one shocking piece of paper. It’s going to be a Christmas full of surprises.

Finally, our holiday gift to you…

For the month of December, we’re sending our very best wishes of the season with a sexy, snowy, sci-fi novella from one of our favourite authors – for free. We hope you enjoy it, and we’ll see you in 2014!

White Christmas – Ros Baxter. What would you do if your survival depended on getting seriously close to the man who broke your heart? She’s about to find out – and things in the ice cave are getting seriously steamy.
