Saltwater Romance

At age fifteen, Evie is uprooted from the familiar embrace of her small-town life, leaving behind her father and childhood sweetheart, Chris. The year is 1977, and her new home in North Queensland becomes the canvas for her rebellious awakening, a place where the mixture of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll paints the backdrop to her newfound independence.

Thriving on structure and organisation, Lachie's life is a tapestry of travel, surf and sea. Working and living in the breathtaking Whitsunday Islands, he finds solace in the ocean's embrace. But when carefree Irish traveller Kat crosses his path, he senses a disruption looming - a whirlwind of chaos where she treads. Kat's arrival in Australia prompts playful jokes from her family about husband-hunting, yet her desires lie in travel, work and the simple joys of life. Romance is merely a distant possibility if fate allows it.

Grace MacCullagh didn't come back to Australia for love. Six months ago, after her sister's wedding, Grace spent one unforgettable night with Jasper, her brother-in-law's maddeningly handsome, emotionally unavailable brother. Jasper knows letting her go was the biggest mistake of his life and he's not about to waste his second chance, but Grace isn't making it easy.
