They spend the two weeks together and she has no idea that he is the captain of the All Blacks.After the holiday they stay in touch and Hannah eventually decides to move to New Zealand to be wi...
This book started out so promising, but it went on for way, way too long considering all of the scenes were essentially the same. Also, none of the characters' ages worked for me. The children were written much older than the 7 and 4 they are declared, and Jenna read much younger than 30 - extrem...
“I was afraid you weren’t going to turn up,” he said with relief. “Sorry. Work. Traffic. Collecting Zack . . .” She trailed off. She was always rushing, never seemed to be quite organized enough, to be able to get anywhere exactly when she was supposed to, the way other people did. Due to sheer f...
Alec asked Rae when they met up again. “Not too bad,” she said. “How about you?” “Terrific. But, damn, Liss and Joe are good. They already kicked my ass. By the end of the day tomorrow, you can expect my ego to be fully downsized.” “What do you think?” Joe asked. “One more run, something we can a...
I was nervous, and because I was, I changed into my PJs, exactly as I normally would’ve. Which made Karen look at me with astonishment and ask, “Aren’t you supposed to, like, dress up if a guy’s coming over? Maybe you want to put on some mustache bleaching cream while you’re at it.” &...
Kate sat, legs outstretched, against the head of the big bed, looking across to the expanse of blue water beyond. “I should go sit on the balcony and enjoy it while I have the chance. But this is pretty comfortable too.” “Plus you might put on more clothes, which would mean I wouldn’t get to see ...
Summer was always a busy time in the tourist town of Russell, despite its isolated location at the tip of a peninsula, barely accessible except by ferry, bang in the middle of the Bay of Islands and a good three and a half hours’ drive north of Auckland. If summer was busy...
Their code was spaghetti when I got there, but I sorted it out. Visicon was pretty chill, but the challenge is over now. Ready to move on.” The young man leaned back in the leather chair that had been delivered just yesterday, Rae having decided that furnishing the confere...
But then, the whole town of Fulton didn’t seem to be much bigger than that—what Zoe could see of it in the dark, at least. Cal pulled the truck and trailer into a long driveway. “Hang on,” he told her as he hopped down. He was hustling around the front of the truck, pullin...
His face was set, his expression intense, and he didn’t say a word, other than a curt “Wait,” before he left her in the car and went into a motel office. He came out of it again a few minutes later, and was pulling around into a parking spot near a corner unit. “Let’s go,”...
There was a reason, she thought, striking out for the point behind Reka and Kate, that she’d dated actors for so many years. They understood each other, not just the job, but what it was like to live in the public eye. But being an actor, no matter how well known, was nothing like the pressure an...
Gabe looked down at Mira, walking beside him towards their unknown barn dance destination. “You need some distraction, take your mind off tonight?” he asked. “Not sure my fascinating life story will do it.” “It’s about all I’ve got, though,” she smiled back. “So tell me, i...
And had it put to the test immediately, when Mac called the four staff members on duty over for a quick meeting.“Got something on I need to tell you all about,” he said smugly. “The Hurricanes backs are going to be coming in for a preseason team-building event next Friday. I’m going to need every...
But she’d meant to be tactful. She sighed. No way around it, tact wasn’t her strong suit. She’d just have to apologize to Koti when they were alone. And all right, apologizing wasn’t her strong suit either. But she’d do it anyway. Because, yeah. Tact. “Good time,” Hemi said from the driver’s seat...
Well, we probably made an odd couple, Hemi twice my size and as dark as I was fair, not to mention my jeans and sweater and Hemi’s custom-made black suit. And then there was the fact that we were embracing passionately in a lawyers’ café in the middle of the city. And in the middle of the workday...
Holiday weekends had always been an annoyance to me. All those days gone to waste, and you couldn’t even expect your executives to put in a few hours, because it was meant to be family time. I’d said something like that last Christmas, and Tane had laughed hard, caught Jun...
