Outback Brides: Hearts Of Wirralong/Serenity's Song/A Nanny Called Alice

Serenity's Song - Cathryn Hein

Jesse Hargreaves can't outrun his bad-boy past. Burned by betrayal, he returns to Wirralong to rebuild his life - and to survive being best man alongside the one woman he can't ignore. Beautician Serenity Strachan hides her fragile heart behind bright hair and sharp humour, and she's determined to keep Jesse at a distance. She knows his history far too well.

But when Jesse enlists her help to renovate an old property - and a tunnel collapse traps them underground - their defences crumble fast. After rescue, the real danger begins: trusting what they discovered in the dark. Can Serenity believe in the man Jesse's trying to become? And can Jesse trust her not to expose the secrets that could cost him everything?

A Nanny Called Alice - Barbara Hannay

After being mugged in the Australian outback, Alice Trembath refuses to slink home to the US in defeat. Instead, she accepts an unlikely job as a nanny on a remote cattle station - despite having no experience and even fewer qualifications. She needs the work, and she's determined to prove herself.

Tom Braydon is juggling far too much: raising his orphaned nieces, running his brother's station, and managing his own business in Sydney. Alice is exactly the help he needs...and exactly the distraction he doesn't. But as they work side by side in the vast outback, ignoring their growing attraction becomes impossible. They may have different plans for the future, but love clearly has plans of its own.
