Samantha Bennett dreams of marriage. But, before she can fall in love with her dream guy, she needs to fall in love with herself. Easy, right?

Sam’s life is perfect until she finds out her boss wants to shag her and her fiancé is shagging someone else. Willing to do anything to avoid confrontation, she escapes to Australia packing her newly broken heart right next to her beloved flares and platform shoes.

It’s only after running into a hunky Italian Stallion that she discovers even 3,000 miles isn’t far enough to escape a troubled love life. And with this man’s nasty habit of stalking, she’s going to be hard pushed to escape him, too. Add in a new career as the go-to designer for the pampered pups of Melbourne, and a nasty dog-napping case, and Sam has her hands full.

Sick of looking over her shoulder and needing to concentrate on her fledgling business, she’s close to swearing off men altogether when she meets Chris. This Australian is different to any man she’s ever met, he might even be her dream guy.

He might also be too good to be true.

Jennie's lost her soul mate. She doesn't believe you get a second. Will the least likely candidate of all be able to change her mind.

Jennie Farrell always believed there was a happily ever after out there for everyone. Shame she’s missed out on her own. Rocking up in London with close friend Samantha, Jennie falls back on her long-ignored artistic skills to make ends meet.

Her future is even looking bright when she runs into Rupert Smythe-Brown, an aristocratic prat used to getting his own way, no matter who gets hurt in the process.

Painted into a corner, Jennie turns feral and Rupert doesn’t know what’s hit him. Well he does, but for once he’s not enjoying it. Thank goodness she’s got Mark, a strapping six foot four Aussie bloke watching her back and keeping her out of trouble — at least when he’s not trying to get her into it.

Brush With Fame is a chuckle along, feel good book for any woman who’s ever wanted to fight back but hasn’t felt strong enough.

Broke and alone, this street smart cynic is about to discover family is about more than blood, and definitely more than money

Brenda Munroe was mercenary even as a child. It was that or going hungry, or worse. From stealing school lunches, she’s moved onto bigger, better and even legal things. Life is finally looking up when her carefully created world comes crashing down. Stuck broke in London, it’s going to take every ounce of her street smarts to survive this time.

Strapped for cash — and with a real aversion to the old nine-to-five — Brenda opens a residential school for girls, teaching them in weeks what it’s taken her years to master. Namely, how to get by on good looks and a bucket-load of charm. And no need to screw the old guys, thank you very much.

Will her students be the only ones learning new skills, or will Brenda finally understand family’s about a whole lot more than the blood relations you’ve been lumbered with?

Strapped for Cash is a rollicking, laugh-out-loud read full of historic art thefts, extortion,and politically-charged B&D. So, sit back and join Brenda on her mission to take down the British aristocracy one prat at a time.

Have you ever wondered what happened to those characters that appear briefly in a series, only to then be left alone to get on with their lives?

MEET THE AUTHOR

Andrene Low's writing journey began at age eight when she earned an A+ for an essay about the horrendous 1966 Aberfan mining disaster—a topic choice that both baffled and provided nightmares aplenty.

Years later, what started as a simple presentation skills course for work took an unexpected turn when Andrene was strong-armed into performing at a Stand-Up Comedy Rookies Night. The experience went well enough to land her a spot on the professional comedy circuit, where she spent three years developing the sharp wit that infuses her writing.

Eventually, Andrene retired from stand-up to focus on what she loved the most: writing. She brings the same fearless approach to storytelling that once had her tackling disasters and comedy stages, creating stories that blend heart, humor, and just the right amount of heat. NOTE: It wasn't a mispent youth, it was research.
