Book excerpt: A woman ready to give up on love meets her match in a man she never expected to fall for in this heartwarming and steamy new romantic comedy by USA Today bestselling author Nicola Marsh. For almost a decade, successful 37-year-old Samira Broderick has used her bustling LA practice as an excuse to avoid a trip home to Australia. She still resents her meddling Indian mother for arranging her marriage to a man who didn't stick around when the going got tough, but now with a new job Down Under, she's finally ready to reconnect with her. And while she's there, a hot international fling might be just what she needs to get out of her recent funk. Aussie stuntman, Rory Radcliffe, has been hiding his stutter for years by avoiding speaking roles. When a job he can't refuse comes up as a reality show host, he knows he'll need some help for the audition: a dialect coach. But he finds himself at a loss for words when he discovers it's the same sexy woman with whom he just had a mind-blowing one-night stand... Samira can think of many reasons why Rory is completely wrong for her: he's ten years her junior, for one, and he's not Indian--something Samira's mother would never approve of. Even if things were to get serious, there's no reason to tell her mother...is there?

Download or read book Toyboy written by Holly Hill and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2008 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After her adventures being a Sugarbabe, Holly Hill decided to turn the tables and hire a toyboy who would do for her what she had done for her sugar daddies Toyboy sought by attractive, educated, 40-year-old woman who wants to explore the other side of an equation. I will pay a generous weekly allowance for regular visits to the home of an accomplished cook, confidante and lover. Whilst not essential; youth, humour, looks and intelligence will be well-regarded. . . . Anonymity will be assured. Holly Hill made a surprising discovery when she ran her ad for a toyboy—not only did she have many fewer applicants for the position than she'd had for a sugar daddy, but a lot of the "boys" who responded were lying about their age. As well as their relationship status. And, their height, weight, and physical attractiveness. So much for gorgeous young men willing to do her bidding! Just as her cause seems hopeless, a chance encounter sends her down a road she had never considered traveling. On her journey through self doubt and dismay at men in the modern world—not to mention questioning the principles she had developed during her sugarbabe days—she finds a wellspring of darkness within her that had been untapped for far too long. Her experiences challenge everything she once believed about her identity and, especially, her sexuality, taking her right to the edge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Merlin. He's Lucy's bright, beautiful son – who just happens to be autistic. Since Merlin's father left them in the lurch, Lucy has made Merlin the centre of her world. Struggling with the joys and tribulations of raising her adorable yet challenging child (if only Merlin came with operating instructions), Lucy doesn't have room for any other man in her life. By the time Merlin turns ten, Lucy is seriously worried that the Pope might start ringing her up for tips on celibacy, so resolves to dip a toe back into the world of dating. Thanks to Merlin's candour and quirkiness, things don't go quite to plan... Then, just when Lucy's resigned to singledom once more, Archie – the most imperfectly perfect man for her and her son – lands on her doorstep. But then, so does Merlin's father, begging for a second chance. Does Lucy need a real father for Merlin – or a real partner for herself?

NICOLE KIDMAN 'Kathy Lette can turn from raunchy farce to the most tender emotion in a trice.' STEPHEN FRY

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If people think I’m bad, then I’ll be good at that!” Macy Lord is living her worst life: victimised at home, vilified at school. When novice Religious Studies teacher Mr Fairclough asks his class to re-interpret The Ten Commandments, Macy resolves, for the sake of authenticity, to break them. Blaming, blaspheming, coveting, dishonouring, lying, stealing, and worshipping shiny stuff all come easy, but then she kills – and kills again. Traumatised by her potential parricide, Macy goes on the run: faking adulthood in London, blurring art and death in Paris, escaping undercover in Arabia, raising the bar in Brooklyn. Pursued by a coterie of vengeful cast-offs, Macy craves her calm, cool Mr Fairclough, but having lost his star pupil, he too has eschewed education for misadventures of his own. If nurture is absent, will nature take its course? Can Macy find redemption in the chaos of her life? And how will she ‘complete the set’ with The Seventh Commandment still unbroken?
