BINDARRA CREEK MAKEOVER © S. E. Gilchrist

On a collision course with the nightmare from her past, she never dared dream she’d find love.
​
When Tessa Gibson reluctantly embarks on a desperate plan to secure her daughter’s safety, she never dared dream of falling in love – especially with a cop and a town that makes her feel like one of their own.

The moment Constable Dylan (aka Dodge) Myers meets Tessa, more than his internal cop radar is activated. With his career on shaky grounds, he doesn’t need additional complications in his life.
But neither Tessa nor Dodge are a match for his grandmother and her CWA cronies and their own ideas on revitalising the struggling rural township of Bindarra Creek.
And not even the monster from Tessa’s past will stop them.

SHADOWS OF THE HEART © Lee Christine
 
How far can you run, before it's time to turn and fight?

But when Rhiannon Scott, a girl he hasn't seen in fifteen years comes knocking at his father's door, Cameron's wish for a return to the quiet, country life is turned upside down.

Rhiannon Scott has a secret. A city girl lying low in the country town she first visited as a billet, she's yearning to take back the life she's been forced to put on hold. Getting involved with the irresistible, former army officer, a pillar of the community, would only invite the kind of unwanted attention she'd been advised to avoid.

Can the power of their attraction compel Rhiannon to sacrifice everything she's trying to achieve? Or will Cameron be forced to choose between the girl he's come to love and the family he vowed never to leave again?

REACH FOR THE STARS © Kerrie Paterson
Reach for the stars and take hold of your dreams.

In the small community of Bindarra Creek, Stevie Ryan pours her heart and soul into running Reach for the Stars – her outdoor adventure program for at-risk kids. For her, it’s more than a business, it’s personal. Unfortunately, unless she can gain funding, she’ll have to shut the program down or sell her childhood home.

Journalist Luke Fraser seems like the answer to her prayers when he arrives from Sydney to write a story about her charity, but he’s not who he seems. When he’s exposed as a potential benefactor Secret Millionaire-style, their growing relationship comes under threat. Rich, pampered, city businessmen have no place in her world, especially ones who lie. Her cheating ex-husband taught her that lesson.

But she has bigger problems to face when one of her at-risk teens disappears and their world is rocked with fear. And it’s not the untamed landscape that’s the danger.

HOME TO BINDARRA CREEK © Juanita Kees
 
When fate brings together two lost souls, it’s time to leave the shadows behind and come home to Bindarra Creek

With rejuvenation of her small home town in the pipeline, Park Ranger, Alice Pritchard has no choice but to let go of the past. Dan Molyneaux roars into her life in his high-powered V8 and reopens the Riverside Pub, forcing her to face her ghosts, his possum problem, Curly the cockatoo who swears like a sailor, Old Man Jake who’s appointed himself caretaker of the property, and Grandad Charlie who’s determined to find her the man he thinks she deserves. Alice would love to ignore them all and keep living in the cocoon she’s created for herself in sleepy Bindarra Creek, but fate has other plans for her.

Dan isn’t looking for love or the friendship of the two crazy old men who appear to have adopted him. All he wanted was the peace and quiet of the country, away from the city highways. Soon he’s swept along by renovations, fundraisers, hell-raisers and the problems of a small town coming back to life. But it’s the park ranger he’s curious about. Why would a girl as beautiful as Alice bury herself in a backwater town so far off the main highway, it was merely a blip on the satellite map? What he uncovers raises some of his own ghosts from the dead.

STOLEN SANCTUARY © Stacey Nash
 
Is home really where the heart is?
 
The one thing that keeps Oxley College’s Molly McLean calm amidst midterm exams and keg parties is knowing she’s got a quiet place to land in her hometown of Bindarra Creek. But even from college, Molly’s heard rumours about her small country hometown's big city makeover. She knows reviving tiny Bindarra Creek will draw in more tourists—so while home for the summer, she sets out to convince her conservative parents to spruce up their motel in order to cash in on the influx of new business that will surely come.

However, Molly never thought the town's makeover would have a negative impact on her little slice of home until she returns to the stables were she’s worked every summer since she was thirteen. Sexy city boy Callan Hunter is turning the tranquil property she loves into another churn-people-through tourist spot. Butting heads with the business-minded hottie is the last way Molly thought she’d be spending her holidays, but there’s no way she can stand around and allow the stables her grandad hand-built to be torn down. If she can’t convince Callan to ease up on the bulldozing, Bindarra Creek will no longer be a sanctuary. It’ll be a concrete jungle.

His sexy arrogance might have everyone else ensnared, but Molly’s already been there, done that. Now she’s immune. Or is she?
