Kate Kelly has had a life-long love affair with books, but writing came in fits and starts. She didn't take it seriously until her forties. Now she can't get along without it. She has the good fortune to live on the east coast of Canada with her husband (the children have flown away). She writes, grow herbs and perennials and sails when the wind blows her way.

With a little juggling and a lot of focus, Jake manages to have the game and Maggie. Then his performance on the ice suffers and a scandal erupts. Now he can't afford the distraction of Maggie...even if she is perfect for him.

When Adam Came To Town by Kate Kelly

Sylvie Carson is artistically blocked and hoping a prolonged stay in the seaside village she grew up in will help her get over this hump. But when Adam Hunter moves in next door it only makes things even more complicated.

The artist in Sylvie is immediately intrigued by her new neighbour – the haunting lines of his face, the natural athleticism of his body. Maybe Adam is the muse she's been looking for...but his shadowed eyes suggest he's just one more person keeping secrets from her. Though Sylvie can't deny that Adam inspires passion in her, the last thing she needs is a romance...right?","rating":"0.00","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2013-09-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2013-09-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":4538,"isbn13":"9781743644164","title":"A Perfect Distraction/When Adam Came To Town","seo":"a-perfect-distractionwhen-adam-came-to-town","summary":"A Perfect Distraction by Anna SugdenJake Badoletti has a rare second chance to make the most of being a professional hockey player – so no parties, no scandals.

The Cost Of Silence by Kathleen O'Brien

Redmond 'Red' Malone agrees when his dying mentor asks him to deal with a situation discreetly. Yet convincing 'the mistress' Allison York to sign a document keeping silent about the relationship leaves Red feeling...off. Allison is honest and beautiful –– not the gold–digger he'd imagined she'd be. Even more unsettling is that the single mum wants nothing to do with Red and any offer he has.

Still, Red is persistent and the more he's with her, the more he realises he's found his home. But the silent secret between them threatens their happiness. And Red is faced with a dilemma –– to keep his promise, or let the truth set them free.

A Deliberate Father by Kate Kelly

Jordan Tanner's intention was to sell the building he's inherited and pave the way to financial freedom. Yet the moment he encounters Nell Hart –– and her niece and nephew –– all his goals fly out the window. Something about passion leaves him a little breathless. More than that, Jordan discovers he simply cannot put two children out on the street.

So what's he to do? He still wants success and he's not keen on being a landlord. But he also likes the feeling he has with Nell and the kids. In the end, maybe there isn't a choice after all…","rating":"0.00","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-04-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-04-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":89,"isbn13":"9781460802908","title":"The Cost Of Silence/A Deliberate Father","seo":"the-cost-of-silencea-deliberate-father","summary":"...","image":"https://harpercollins-millsandboon-au.imgix.net/covers/9781460802908.jpg?auto=format&w=298&blend=https://supadu-imgix.s3.amazonaws.com/harpercollins-millsandboon-au/EBOOK.png&blend-mode=normal&blend-size=inherit&blend-y=0","hide":false,"categories":[{"name":"Contemporary","type":"bisac","seo_name":"FIC027020"}],"scheduled":[]},{"description":"
Falling for a woman with kids was never part of Jordan Tanner's plans. His intention was to quickly sell the building he's inherited and pave the way to financial freedom. Yet the moment he encounters Nell Hart and her niece and nephew all his goals fly out the window. Something about her zest and her passion leave him a little breathless. More than that, Jordan discovers he simply cannot put two traumatized kids out on the street.

So what's he to do? He still wants success and he's not keen on being a landlord. But he also likes the feeling he gets when he's with Nell and the kids. In the end, maybe there isn't a choice after all.

Dusty Carson knows he isn't exactly father material. But his friendship with single mum Teressa Wilder has recently become a lot more intimate. Now he has less than nine months to prove that he can be the man she needs. And the first step is moving her and her kids in with him.

Except living with kids turns out to be more complicated than he'd thought. Between temper tantrums and toilet training, when is a guy supposed to get a minute to himself–never mind a chance to woo Teressa? This isn't what Dusty thought he was getting into, but he'll do whatever it takes to win her over. Even be a parent.
