No Rescue Read online

‘Are you going to move?’ His voice was strained.

  She opened her eyes, looked at him. ‘Make me.’

  A heartbeat later he’d flipped them over, pulled out and thrust in deeper yet. ‘Ready?’

  She was too busy climaxing to answer. Then again, that was her answer. He waited, and when she’d just about recovered, he started moving. Her second orgasm was even stronger and triggered his. He came, shouting her name.

  ‘My whole body is smiling,’ she said when they lay together afterwards — he was a cuddler, which was brilliant.

  ‘You screamed, too,’ he pointed out.

  ‘More like a gasp. A loud one.’

  ‘Huh.’ He sounded smugly sure of what he’d heard — and achieved.

  She traced a pattern on his chest. ‘Tad?’

  ‘Hmm?’

  ‘Thanks for believing I could rescue myself.’

  He pulled her down over him, one hand tangling in her hair.

  She waited for what he might say, how he would answer.

  ‘Brave, beautiful and...’ Their lips were a millimetre apart when he paused. ‘…a baker’s daughter. Do you have any whipped cream in the fridge?’

  The kiss went gloriously wrong as they laughed.

  Ice-Breaker (novella)

  Jenny Schwartz

  It was a case of the right person at the absolute worst time – so he found a way to make time.

  Kiara and Selwyn’s first encounter is dramatic, and their attraction instantaneous. But Kiara has commitments, dreams, and plans – and Selwyn doesn’t fit into any of it.

  But he’s not willing to give up on the chance at love, so he plans a second encounter just as dramatic. When Kiara returns from scientific research in Antarctica, he kidnaps her – with her startled agreement.

  Maybe all they need for a chance at real love is a break from real life.

  Second Chance Island (novella)

  Jenny Schwartz

  She’s escaped to a tropical paradise, but her past is going to find her.

  Laura Robertson is working at a tropical resort on the Great Barrier Reef, biding her time and nursing her wounds when her ex-lover Phil Cooper arrives on Topaz Island. She’s betrayed him, broken his trust, and shamed herself. And yet it seems that he’s the one man she can’t let go.

  She’s spent her whole life fighting to save the reef, and her time on Topaz Island fighting for her self-respect. Does she have enough fight left to fight for a second chance

  Treasured Secrets

  Kendall Talbot

  From Romantic Book of the Year winner Kendall Talbot comes an adrenaline-fuelled new series with sexy characters, exotic locations, and action-packed adventure.

  The last place Rosalina expected the clue to a 700-year-old mystery to lead is back into the arms of Archer, the one man who broke her heart. But neither can solve the puzzle without the other, so together they set off on a new adventure, weaving from Tuscany’s underbelly to Archer’s luxurious yacht in the Greek Islands, trying to ignore the sparks that still fly unhindered between them.

  Archer desperately wants to salvage the relationship he shattered years before, but fighting for Rosalina’s love soon takes a back seat to fighting for their lives. They aren’t the only one on the trail for the treasure, and their competition isn’t bothered by ethics and morals to achieve their goals. With evil close on their trail, and Archer wrestling with the remnants of a childhood tragedy, Rosalina begins to wonder if perhaps there are some secrets that were never meant to be revealed.

  Out of Rhythm

  Shona Husk

  They might be one of the hottest up-and-coming bands in Australia, but the members of Selling the Sun have a lot to learn about life, love, sex and each other.

  Coming off a successful Australian tour and prestigious industry award nominations, Gemma Field’s life should be perfect. Instead her parents want her to get a real job, the second album isn’t coming together, and her best friend, Kirsten wants nothing to do with her.

  Falling for her best friend was never going to make life easy. After an almost accidental drunken kiss almost six months ago, they aren’t even talking. Gemma can’t even talk about it with anyone – not her family, not her bandmates, not even the one person she used to share everything with. Instead she lives in a space of indecision and pain, and it’s affecting all aspects of her life, including the band.

  Kirsten Vincent missed Gemma like crazy, but did she miss her as a friend or as something more? She’s confused and Gemma is hurt, and the consequences of a bad decision will affect more than their personal lives. Will another kiss, a sober kiss, a kiss with intent, do more damage, or could it be the start of something more?

  Miracle In March

  Juliet Madison

  A new Tarrin’s Bay novel from best-selling author Juliet Madison. She took a break from real life, and found what she didn’t know she was looking for.

  Emma had plans, travel plans, going-far-away plans, but her family means everything to her, so when they needed help, she was there to deliver it. Running the family business of beachside cabins in Tarrin’s Bay might not be the same as the French Riviera, but Emma finds a certain level of peace in the beautiful setting and small town community.

  But when she finds that her ex-boyfriend, a man she left behind without explanation, staying in one of the cabins, her peace is ruined. She knows the only way to get it back is to share the secret she’s been hiding for five years, and admit to him the limitations that she now carries. But James has his own truths to share, and he’s not the man that Emma once knew.

  They are both in very different places than before, but it’s a time for renewal and second chances when their reunion brings secrets to the surface, dreams to be remembered, and the realisation that they are both in need of a little miracle.
