The Boss’s Forbidden Assistant - Clare Connelly

Two weeks on his island. Two weeks to resist temptation!

Ever since a tragic loss, Brazilian billionaire Salvador da Rocha has retreated to his private island, vowing not to love again. When he’s forced to hire a temporary assistant, he’s convinced Harper Lawson won’t meet his scrupulous standards. Instead, she exceeds them. If only he wasn’t tempted by the forbidden...

Usually hyper-focused, Harper is dangerously distracted by Salvador. His arrogance is infuriating yet their chemistry is untameable...and their surrender, inevitable! As Harper’s departure from paradise draws closer, their connection only deepens, but is it enough to make her stay?

Back in the Greek Tycoon’s World - Justine Lewis

Can these star-crossed lovers... ever be reunited?

Archaeologist Rose is thrilled to be working on a dig on Paxos. Until she discovers the land belongs to her ex – sinfully sexy businessman Alessandro! Rekindling their passion under the scorching Greek sun, Rose realises she’ll never be part of his world. For Rose, the land represents the past, and for Alessandro, it’s the future. Is there a way they can each reach their hearts' desire, together?

In Bali with the Single Dad - Annie O’Neil

A GP in need of escape... finds a fresh start in Indonesia!

Floored by her ex-fiancé's betrayal, GP Rebecca is in Bali to regroup. She’s not sure what her future looks like, but she’s certain that she’s sworn off love! Until an accident brings local doctor Noah into her life...as a new single dad to his orphaned nieces, Noah knows what it’s like to have your life change instantly. Now Rebecca can’t help but wonder if fate is offering them all a new happily-ever-after in paradise.

About the Author

Annie spent most of her childhood with a leg draped over the family rocking chair and a book in her hand. Novels, baking and writing too much teenage angst poetry ate up most of her youth. Now, Annie splits her time between corralling her husband into helping her with their cows or scratching the backs of their rare breed pigs and spending some very happy hours at her computer writing. Clare Connelly was raised in small-town Australia among a family of avid readers. She spent much of her childhood up a tree, Mills & Boon book in hand. Clare is married to her own real-life hero and they live in a bungalow near the sea with their two children. She is frequently found staring into space - a surefire sign she is in the world of her characters. She has a penchant for French food and ice-cold champagne, and Mills & Boon novels continue to be her favourite ever books. Writing for MIlls & Boon is a long-held dream. Justine writes uplifting, heart-warming contemporary romances. She lives in Australia with her hero husband, two teenagers and outgoing puppy. When she isn't writing she loves to walk her dog in the bush near her house, attempt to keep her garden alive, and search for the perfect frock. She loves hearing from readers and you can visit her at justinelewis.com.
