Water Under The Bridge

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

With a unique new voice, Australian author Lily Malone delivers the first book in an all-new series of loosely linked romances where the three Honeychurch brothers each find love.

Water Under The Bridge tells the story of Ella Davenport, who hasn't been in a swimming pool since a bad decision ruined her chance of Olympic gold. Seeking a new career, she chooses Chalk Hill, a country town far from water, with no pool in sight. Perfect!

Jake Honeychurch is reluctant to sell his nanna's house, but circumstances force his hand. By listing the property with the rookie real estate agent in town and setting a hefty price, he hopes it won't find a buyer. Perfect!

Determination and persistence are traits Jake admires, and Ella possesses them in spades. After all, no one ever made an Olympic team by being a quitter.

When news of a proposed waterski park emerges, a local developer takes interest in Honeychurch House. Ella's first sale is tantalisingly close until a sharp-eyed local recognises her. Between sale negotiations with Jake that keep getting sidetracked and a swimming pool committee intent on causing a splash, Ella faces more challenges than just kisses and chlorine.

Can she overcome past failures and embrace a new beginning? Or will her dreams of a fresh start be washed away?

About the Author

Lily Malone might have been a painter, except her year-old son put a golf club through her canvas. So she wrote her first book, His Brand of Beautiful, instead. Lily has now written six full length rural romance stories and a novella all published by Harlequin Escape. Her debut trade paperback, The Vineyard In The Hills, was published by Harlequin MIRA in September 2016.Β Last Bridge Before Home is the third of three books set in the fictional Western Australian town of Chalk Hill, a town which, in Lily's imagination, is about halfway between Manjimup and Mount Barker on the Muirs Highway. Book One was Water Under the Bridge, published in February 2018, which is Jake and Ella's story; and Book Two, The CafΓ© by the Bridge, followed Taylor and Abe. When she isn't writing, Lily likes gardening, walking, wine, and walking in gardens (sometimes with wine). She also doesn't mind the odd game of cards and loves her regular Thursday Night hand with the Card Girls. She lives in the Margaret River region of Western Australia with her husband, and two handsome sons who take after their father. Lily is a member of Australian Rural Fiction and Australian Fiction Authors. She loves to hear from readers and you can find her on Facebook, and on Twitter: @lily_lilymalone.
