Can Eva and Zoe Lambros protect the life they’ve worked so hard to build when they come under attack from unexpected enemies? One attacks Zoe publicly on national radio, the other sabotaging Eva’s company while lurking in the shadows. A gripping story of love, courage, and unyielding strength.

When Zoe becomes the target of a vicious smear campaign by Australia’s revered decorated war hero turned radio host, she’s quickly plunged into a battle of public opinion to defend her art and wartime service.

Meanwhile, Eva’s company, Lambros Industries, is under siege. With their professional reputation on the line after a slew of government contracts mysteriously disappear or are outbid, Eva can’t escape the creeping suspicion that someone is targeting them. Their adversary has been playing the long game… to what end?

When the stars shift and danger rises, Mari’s journey could save the kingdom – and the woman she… fine, she’ll admit it… loves.

Before the drought, the village of Greenhaven thrived. But when unexpected auroras appear in the sky and the stars begin to shift, everything changes. As the only astronomer, Mari is tasked with seeking help, but she suspects there’s more to the changing skies than meets the eye. With the future of her home at stake, she sets off for the capital of Patovia expecting answers, or at the very least to secure assistance from the Crown. Instead, she finds buried secrets, a distractingly beautiful woman, and a danger that threatens the kingdom itself. Mari must unearth the truth before it’s too late, because if she fails, Greenhaven will crumble, and so will the queen.
