DEAR MARGOT

Margot's sister is dead, and all she wants is a glass of wine. Showers, healthy relationships, healing? Those are for people who aren't grieving - for people whose dead sisters haven't left them a secret itinerary and a plane ticket to the last place they want to go. Especially now that it's a solo trip. But Margot always does what's expected, which is how she finds herself halfway around the world - jet-lagged, hungover, and mortified when a stranger named Sam catches her naked in the tub.

And he keeps showing up: at the Penguin Parade, in Melbourne's best bars, and on Hamilton Island's quiet beaches. At every stop. Their chemistry is immediate, but Margot didn't fly across the world to fall in love. She came to grieve and to honor one final commitment to her sister. But Sam's earnest charm, offbeat opinions (like using the moon landing as a first-date litmus test and his unwavering belief that Nickelback is an excellent karaoke choice), and quiet understanding begin to help her recognize something she never thought to want: a life that's hers alone - one built on connection, courage, and the quiet choice to keep living (and loving) through loss. Margot just has to be brave enough to say goodbye to her safe, controlled life that she so carefully built and reach for something unknown.

DEAR MARGOT is an upmarket women's fiction-meets-contemporary romance, blending banter, emotional honesty, and an immersive, vivid sense of place. Unexpectedly witty and wry for a story driven by grief, it will appeal to fans of PS I Love You and Book Lovers.

WRITING HENNIE

Hennie has spent her whole life taking up too much space – as a confident plus-sized woman, the loudest person in every room, and someone constantly told to be less: less dramatic, less chaotic, less reckless.

Then she discovers her family has been hiding secrets for decades: a London flat left to Hennie by her dead father, hidden money, and a photo of a young boy who might be her brother.

A sensible person might pause, ask questions, maybe consult a lawyer. But no one has ever accused Hennie of being sensible. With plenty of baggage, she barrels across the Atlantic determined to uncover the truth about the father she never really knew.

Hennie isn’t ready for Everett – her downstairs neighbor and a rigid, tea-loving novelist reeling from the failure of his latest book. And Hennie’s brand of recklessness is exactly the inspiration he needs to finish his next book and save him from another grand embarrassment – and further paternal ridicule.

The two strike up an unlikely friendship that has Everett opening up his own hurts to solve hers. But when inspiration turns to romance then crosses into exploitation, Hennie decide if the relationship can survive becoming an unwitting muse and her most vulnerable parts being used for entertainment.

Story Vault

  • What if Louise fell hopelessly in love with Thelma?

    Bonnie loved June the minute she met her. June never really understood the depth of Bonnie’s devotion – she just knew Bonnie would always be there.

    Until June meets Lyle, who promises her the perfect, simple life she’s been told will protect her – and the two women spend over a decade failing to forget each other.

    But when June’s husband becomes violent, there’s only one place for her to turn – and Bonnie never grew out of loving June. Only this time, her love goes too far.

  • The Gods demanded amusement, trickery, and sacrifice. The Producers designed SACRIFICE ISLAND, a reality competition show promising salvation – and a hefty payday – to the down-on-their-luck, the cunning, and the desperate.

    McKenna is all three: her dead parents left a mountain of debt, her sister may have to drop out of school, and her brother needs medication they can’t afford. And she doesn’t care who she must beat to win. She’s exactly what The Producers are looking for.

    What she doesn’t expect is that her Ice Queen attitude isn’t winning her any popularity contests – or favors. Luckily for her, Rory is a fan favorite. And he owes her – his family’s worst mistake is the reason she’s in this position, after all.

    When The Producers announce the season's twist, the two team up to fake a romance, win over the audience, and eliminate their competition. But the longer they play their parts, the harder it becomes to remember who’s on whose side and what’s real – and getting it wrong could be a death sentence.

  • Josie Rae Campbell once told Cam Riley she’d love him when he was nobody and keep loving him when he became somebody.

    She was a fool.

    When the wine country that raised her burns, Josie throws herself into the recovery efforts. She volunteers the family winery as the venue for the fundraiser meant to bring hope – and tourists – back to the town. She’s prepared to give her time, her expertise, everything.

    But she isn’t prepared for the committee’s headliner selection: Cam Riley.

    Cam Riley never found the fame he was chasing. He didn’t become a household name or have a Top 10 hit or turned into the man worthy of the town princess who foolishly loved him. But when the town that was the closest thing to home is left in ashes, he seizes the opportunity to help – and swears seeing Josie has nothing to do with it.

    Forced to work together to save the region that shaped them, Josie and Cam must confront years of distance, old wounds that never healed, and the love song they never stopped writing.
