Love on a Rooftop (2008) (first draft)

Landscape designer, Ava Lange, was happy with her job converting ugly, urban spaces into beautiful, nature-filled ones. When the Network force her to leave her comfortable behind-the-scenes role and become Australia's latest pin-up presenter, Ava's mortified. Not the least because the man doing the arm-bending is her brother's oldest friend -- and her long-time crush -- Daniel Arnot.

Dan's stuck between a moss-rock and a hard-place when the network insist he promote Ava to television presenter. He doesn't need to have seen her recently to know how she'll react. When he does, he's blown away by the woman she's become and it galls him to have to keep manipulating her into various PR stunts to keep the network happy and to hang on to any chance of meeting his career goal on-schedule.

Ava does her best in a job she doesn't want in a city she doesn't like with a man she likes a little bit too much. Despite everything, when it all goes pear-shaped Dan's the last one Ava expects to be behind it.

The Player (2008) (In submission)

Thirty year old Rob Dalton is a player. He has hot women on speed-dial, dives shipwrecks for a living and enjoys minor celebrity status in his city.

Loner, Honour Brier is damaged goods--emotionally and physically. She has lost more in her life than Rob's ever gained, yet still she gets out of bed every day and goes to work on a remote island sanctuary monitoring sea turtles. Recovery is a long-term goal.

When the Sea-Gods throw Rob and Honour together on the idyllic, remote Australian island of Pulu Keeling, they must have an expectation that the two are meant for each other.

The Gods are wrong.

Honour struggles to find common ground with the superficial, handsome shipwreck hunter. Rob sees nothing but hard work in the emotionally scarred biologist.

Rob's stuck on Pulu Keeling for ten days. How much could possibly change between them in that time?

Wild Encounter (2007) (In submission)

Sharing the back of a truck with a pack of African wild dogs is reasonably usual for conservationist, Clare Delaney.

Less usual, is finding herself imprisoned in the wilds of Zambia by wildlife poachers. Alone and in real trouble, Clare must dig deep to find the courage she needs to get her priceless canine cargo - and herself - out of danger.

Their survival rests on a man Clare knows only as 'Alpha' - the dominant member of the criminal pack. He knows she'll do whatever it takes to escape, even if that means seducing one of them.

And he's first in line...
