Sharp, swoony romance about messy people making brave choices. The kind of books where the banter makes you snort and the quiet moments make you put your phone down and stare at the ceiling.
The Southside Series
Every deal has a price. Every offer has a catch. Every risk could change everything.
Three interconnected stories set on the Gold Coast and its hinterland, salt air, fairy lights, friend groups who love each other badly and well, and the particular chaos of falling for the worst possible person at the worst possible time.
The Deal
Mia Russo needs a development stopped. Cam Walker owns the development. He offers her ninety days to find an alternative and she makes the catastrophic decision to say yes.
The Offer
Tara Gallagher has a job offer in Melbourne that would change everything. Lachlan Murray has spent three years not saying a single word about it. The timing, as always, is catastrophic.
The Risk
Jess Tran has had her life together on paper for years. She is spectacular at it. Then her body stops cooperating, and the person who shows up with soup is the last one she expected.
“The best romances aren’t about perfect people finding each other.
They’re about imperfect people choosing each other, over and over, even when it’s terrifying.”
