And there’s another giveaway!
(Giveaway now over)
Only We Know by Victoria Purman
Victoria Purman loves books, wine, chocolate, sad country music, hard rock songs and stories with happy ever afters.
Writing romance means she regularly gets to indulge in all those things – as well as being forced into online pictorial research for her emotional, funny and smart love stories.
Back cover blurb for Only We Know by Victoria Purman
Calla’s plan to simplify her life just got a whole lot more complicated…
When Calla Maloney steps on the boat to Kangaroo Island, she’s filled with dread. Part of it is simple seasickness but the other part is pure trepidation. She’s not on a holiday but a mission: to track down her estranged brother, who she hasn’t seen since her family splintered two years before.
Firefighter Sam Hunter left the island twenty years ago and has made a habit out of staying as far away as he can get. But when his father’s illness forces him home, he finds himself playing bad cop to his dad and reluctant tour guide to a redhead with no sense of direction.
As Sam and Calla dig deeper into their long-buried family secrets, they discover that no one is an island and that opening up their hearts to love again might be the most dangerous thing they will ever do.
Only We Know is available in eBook and paperback from all good retailers.

“You can expect feisty heroines, quirky families, heroes to make you sigh and tingle.”
Back cover blurb for Set in Stone by Ros Baxter
Lou Samuels is going home for the first time in twenty years.
To the mother she can never forgive, the boy she can never forget, and the country town that needs a saviour.
Louise Samuels hasn’t been home to Stone Mountain since graduation night, twenty years ago. And she never, ever thinks about all she lost that night. So when her best friend convinces her to go back to their drought-stricken home for their school reunion they strike a deal. One hour – get in, shake your booty, get out.
Lou knows all about deals – she manages acquisitions and mergers at the biggest law firm in Sydney. But the deal gets shelved when The Boy Least Likely to Succeed, Gage Westin, brings up long-buried memories, and her estranged mother calls with an SOS. Things get even more complicated when Lou agrees to help the local council but ends up working with the coal seam gas company Gage is fighting for control of his property.
When Lou discovers her mother is dying, she starts to wonder if it’s time to face the ghosts of her past and make peace with her home. But then things heat up with Gage, the gas company and the council, and Lou is forced to make a deal with the devil to save them all.
She’s just not sure if Gage Westin, and Stone Mountain, will ever forgive her for it.
Set in Stone is available in eBook and paperback from good retailers.

Angela M you have won a paperback copy of Only We Know by Victoria Purman
Lovely to meet you both here today. I am furiously adding to my reading list. Huzzah!!
Set in Stone sounds like a really great story. And as this year is the year I have so many wonderful new Writers, and Victoria is one of them, I will be getting, reading and no doubt enjoying this book, Ros
I haven’t read any of Victoria or Ros’ books but they sound great. I love reading about rural Australia, places that I haven’t been to with a good romance and a bit of spice!!
Really love Australian Rural Romance authors. Have read your first Victoria and loved it and have yet to have the pleasure of reading Ros, but I am sure it won’t be too long before that happens. Thank you so much for the opportunity and best wishes!
Congratulations deebebbington! You have WON a paperback copy of SET IN STONE by Ros Baxter! Sorry for the delay in posting the winner too, but our poor Ros has been unwell. We’ll contact you by email - and thank you for joining us! 🙂
I’d love to read “Only to know”. It’s set in a magnificent island!
It truly is a beautiful island, Angela!
Congratulations Angela M! You have WON a paperback copy of Only We Know by Victoria Purman. Victoria will contact you soon. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Oh! What a wonderful surprise!!! Thank you very much!! It will be an honour to read it!! 🙂
Just discovered this blog recently. Love discovering new authors, I am a big fan of rural romances, especially Australian ones. It is so nice to read books set in my own beautiful country
Oh I definately live home grown authors. The stories are beautifully written and engage in the book itself. Thank you for writing them.
Thanks everyone - and good luck!
Would love to win i have read some Victoria Purman books but none of Ros Baxter books can’t wait
These books sound great. I love reading and supporting our Aussie authors. These would be a great addition to my growing Aussie author collection.
Oh, two new books to go on my “go buy now” list 😊
Victoria have just recently finished your Boys from Summer series and must say how great it was. I found Someone Like You in a second hand book store and then had to go hunting for the other two so I could read them in order…. so glad I did . Looking forward to your new book, and hopefully getting to know about Kangaroo Island. Cheers
Hi Ros, Always great to hear about a new author. Although I don’t like the name you have chosen for the male …Gage… not my cup of tea. Still being a lover of rural romance I look forward to reading your first novel. Cheers
Definitely adding these books to my wishlist! I love reading Rural Australian Romance novels, and these two sound like they will be on-par with the rest; gotta love a well written, intense story to get lost in 🙂
