Nathan Wesley, missionary and loving husband, is torn between his devotion to God’s work and his own wayward spirit. Elizabeth, his wife, is stifled by his devotion, yet keeps hidden a passionate secret that would destroy his love and the very foundation of their marriage.

New Zealand, 1866: the gold rush is on. Left to fend for herself, Lady Guinevere Stanhope is determined to do whatever it takes to rescue her ancestral home.

Forced out of his native Ireland, Quinn O’Donnell dreams of striking gold. When a flash flood hits, Quinn is compelled to rescue Guinevere.

Will they realise in time that all that glitters is not gold? Though a most inconvenient attraction forms between them, both remain determined to pursue their dreams whatever the cost.

Fall in love with “an ideal romantic hero” on an epic quest “involving the opium trade, a gold rush, lost heirs, murder and other bits of skullduggery” (Historical Novel Society).
 
Georgiana da Silva is catapulted out of the Victorian drawing rooms and into a world of danger, when she escapes her fiendish fiancé to engage in a mad dash across the world to save her brother before an unknown assassin can find him.
 
Meanwhile, Cpt. Harry Trent is setting sail for New Zealand. With a mission to complete and the law on his heels, he’s got enough trouble of his own without further complications.
 
Thrown together, unable to trust anyone, Georgiana and Harry are intent on fulfilling their missions despite the distractions of the other. But liberty comes at a price and the closer they get, the more they must question the true cost of being free.

As soon as Sass Walker's high-powered heels hit the New Zealand ground, she knows she's out of her element. But cool and professional as any top New York lawyer should be, she's determined to get the local tree huggers onside with her company's proposed resort. Win this, and the brass ring is hers. Lose it, and, well, that's not an option, with her board seat at stake.

But here, the best seats on the board are out on the surf. Nobody believes that more than freewheeling Jake Finlayson, champion surfer turned environmental hero…and leader of the opposition…and gorgeous. A dangerous and worthy opponent. To fight him and win, she'll have to loosen a button or two. Get her hair mussed. Let go and ride the wave.

Sass Walker n'est pas une tendre. Une enfance difficile, une existence pauvre l'ont fait se consacrer corps et âme à ses études, puis à son travail. Aujourd'hui, elle s'apprête à jouer sa carrière sur un challenge : se rendre en Nouvelle Zélande pour convertir un petit coin de paradis encore préservé en resort de rêve et de luxe. Sur place, elle sait qu'elle va devoir se battre, qu'elle est déjà impopulaire. Mais elle s'en fiche ! Et elle se blinde. De toute façon, jusqu'à maintenant, qui a su l'aimer ? Personne. Alors, elle peut tout affronter ! Tout, vraiment ? Même l'accueil de Jake Finlayson à l'aéroport ? Finlayson, l'unique habitant de la sublime plage d'Aroha Bay. Beau comme un dieu, blond et hâlé comme un surfeur, totalement envoûtant. Mais déterminé à renvoyer Sass d'où elle vient.

Any red-blooded American male would be all over Cressa Curtis. She's gorgeous, she's wild and clearly she's open for a no-strings-attached adventure. But Adam Walker's been there, done that. And now he wants more for himself. Even with his history, Adam still believes in love and family and marriage and the whole white picket fence—hardly what Cressa is offering.

Besides, everything about the crazy Kiwi spells danger and distraction—two things Adam can't afford to risk with his sights set on medical school. He's only in New Zealand for a month. Surely he can resist Cressa's advances that long.

L'homme qu'elle n'attendait pas...
À deux doigts de dire « oui », Cressa fausse compagnie à tout le monde et fuit son propre mariage. Deux ans plus tard, alors qu'elle assiste à celui d'un de ses cousins, elle éprouve la même sensation d'étouffement. Décidément, l'attachement, l'engagement, ça ne doit pas être fait pour elle et elle a hâte que la cérémonie se termine. Mais, alors qu'elle piaffe, un coup de théâtre réveille son intérêt : le frère de la mariée, un certain Adam, vient de faire une entrée tonitruante sur sa moto. À la seconde, Cressa est séduite. Seulement voilà, en dépit des apparences, Adam n'est pas un simple aventurier. Cressa lui plaît, c'est certain, mais ce qu'il veut, c'est l'amour, le vrai. De quoi dérouter Cressa...
