The Glittering Star - Frances Dall'Alba

She's the no filters chick. Funny, full of life and always ready for a good laugh. Until her mother drops a bombshell.

He's the environmental warrior. Passionate, driven and determined to save the world. Burnt once before, he's moving on and doing things his way.

So how did they end up handcuffed together on day one?

Roberta Mintello is sent to North Queensland by her distraught mother, to dig up a small box buried nearly thirty years ago. It's no help that it's buried beside giant trees, in a protected national park, on the shores of a stunning lake. Its mystery will only be revealed when the box is returned. How is an impatient Roberta going to hold off that long?

Nate Surrey's family owns the teahouse that has graced Lake Barrine for nearly one hundred years. When he catches Roberta digging around the bases of the twin monoliths, he demands answers.

Roberta follows no rules, especially the ones telling her to stay away from the drop-dead gorgeous Nate. But the rules change when the box is found. The chemistry ramps up between them, and Roberta shouldn't have started what she can't handle.

When the mystery blows up in her face, she's not prepared for the hurt and lies. Not even Nate can fix it, because she's not staying long enough to find out.
