A collection of charming rural stories from three bestselling Australian authors.
Between the Vines by Tricia Stringer
After meeting the gorgeous and charismatic Edward Starr at a Coonawarra vineyard, Taylor Rourke gives up everything to move to the country. But when she gets there, Edward is nowhere to be seen and it's his younger brother Pete who offers her a job instead. At first Taylor is thrilled when Ed returns, but as she discovers he may not be the man she thought he was, she finds herself growing closer to Pete. As tension brews between the two brothers, will Taylor's dream of a new life and love between the vines come true? Or is there only heartbreak ahead?
The Vineyard in the Hills by Lily Malone
Remy has it tough, working two jobs to keep food on the table, but slowly she's been rebuilding a life for her family. Then a freak storm tears through the Margaret River Wine Festival - and Seth Lasrey tears through Remy's life. But when a costly deception drives them apart, the last thing she expects is for Seth to show up in her small town, bringing with him memories that she can't escape and a damaged heart she's not sure she can resist.
Bittersweet by Jacquie Underdown
When her best friend asks for help in her cupcake shop, Amy jumps at the chance to hide out in the small town of Alpine Ridge. Her instant attraction to her friend's devastatingly handsome brother-in-law, Tom Mathews, is just the icing on the cake. But when tragedy strikes the Mathews family, she finds herself unable to move on. And as she and Tom grow closer, Amy continues to make excuses to stay: for the family, the shop... or maybe for her own heart.
Author Biography:
Lily Malone might have been a painter, except her year-old son put a golf club through her canvas. So she wrote her first book, His Brand of Beautiful, instead. Lily has now written six full length rural romance stories and a novella all published by Harlequin Escape. Her debut trade paperback, The Vineyard In The Hills, was published by Harlequin MIRA in September 2016. Last Bridge Before Home is the third of three books set in the fictional Western Australian town of Chalk Hill, a town which, in Lily's imagination, is about halfway between Manjimup and Mount Barker on the Muirs Highway. Book One was Water Under the Bridge, published in February 2018, which is Jake and Ella's story; and Book Two, The Café by the Bridge, followed Taylor and Abe.
When she isn't writing, Lily likes gardening, walking, wine, and walking in gardens (sometimes with wine). She also doesn't mind the odd game of cards and loves her regular Thursday Night hand with the Card Girls. She lives in the Margaret River region of Western Australia with her husband, and two handsome sons who take after their father. Lily is a member of Australian Rural Fiction and Australian Fiction Authors. She loves to hear from readers and you can find her on Facebook, and on Twitter: @lily_lilymalone.

Jacquie resides in sunny Brisbane with her husband and two sons. Numbers and practicality are a way of life for Jacquie as she works as an accountant by day. So it's no wonder, for sanity's sake, she balances this banality with words, characters and imagination in all other possible moments. Jacquie is an author of a number of novels and writes contemporary women's fiction that is emotionally driven and possesses unique themes beyond the constraints of the physical universe. She strives to offer romance, but with complexity; spirituality, without the religion. Her novels express a purpose and offer subtle messages about life, the spirit and, of course, love.
