They are wary of trusting, but … passion has its own rules.

Marketing manager, ANNA TURNER promised reliable, affordable childcare to co-workers under pressure. Proud of negotiating the perfect lease for her employer, a hostile takeover of the building steals her ideal premises.

Architect and property-developer, HUNTER THOMPSON, smells betrayal on his father’s breath. An old pattern, but this time his old man plans a hostile takeover of a building owned by the family who raised Hunter as a second son. Hunter out-manoeuvres his father, buying the building himself.

Attending an industry cocktail party, Anna hears Hunter say her magic word, “architect”. Revealing her ideal childcare centre plan to him, Anna discovers Hunter tore up her precious lease. Anna is breathtaking in her rage. Intrigued, Hunter offers a new lease, with the opportunity to work together.

Hunter can’t risk long term. Anna doesn’t do hook-ups—ever. Hidden within their whirlwind romance and growing trust, secrets resurface with devastating consequences. Anna’s mantra—‘I share myself, you share yourself, if you want to get into my bed’—may not survive.
 
Wary strangers find passion on a shared project, until secrets from their past ambush them. Fans of Grace Burrowes stories where love conquers loneliness and fear, will fall for Jennifer Raines’s heartwarming romances.

EXCERPT:
Hunter’s whiskey arrived. “Thanks. I’ll settle up now.” Hunter added a generous tip because someone deserved to finish the night happy.

Staring into the single malt for endless seconds, he let the peat smoke tease his nostrils. Peat, fruit sherry with a hint of vanilla.

Spontaneous combustion was a serious hazard around Anna Turner. The flame-red dress had marked her out as a risk-taker in a room full of pastels and black and white. The way she was poured into it had given his libido, which he’d feared was on life-support, a sharp jolt. Well-defined curves, legs stretching forever, and a sizzle burning clear across the room. When he’d agreed to accompany Casildo, whom he’d abandoned without a word, to the cocktail party, a mindless tumble with someone of a like-mind hadn’t been on his radar. Anna Turner had tempted him, until he’d worked out the word unavailable should have been tattooed across her forehead. Still, he’d been drawn to her, and until he’d told her his name, she’d been interested too. Irrelevant now.
​
Swallowing the amber liquid in three gulps, he welcomed the explosion of salt-and-pepper smoke at the back of his mouth. Sacrilege to gulp such a fine drop. The same might be said of Anna Turner. He didn’t regret the buy, but starting tomorrow, he’d work out how to deal with Ms. Collateral Damage.

About the Author:
Australian Jennifer Raines writes contemporary romances set mainly, but not exclusively, in Australia – think Malta, Finland, New Zealand or ? A dreamer and an optimist, her stories are a delicious cocktail of mutual respect, passion and loyalty because she still believes in happily-ever-afters.

Jennifer fell in love with romance as a teenager. Starting with historical romance. Everything in the school library and then a treasured collection of Georgette Heyer, hard copies, paperbacks and ebooks. Comfort food, she calls them, like Vegemite toast, for those times when she feels low. Her library of comfort food has grown over the years but Georgette Heyer was an early star, under the blankets after lights out using a torch.
​
Jennifer is a member of Romance Writers of Australia. Three times a finalist in the Emerald competition, including in 2017 (Common Cause, renamed Lela’s Choice), 2018 (Taylor’s Law) and 2022 (Quinn, by Design – Choosing Family Book 2). She’s a member of Romance Writers of New Zealand, winning the Pacific Hearts competition twice, including in 2019 with Grace Under Fire, the sequel to Taylor’s Law. She’s also a member of Romance Writers of America and has been a finalist in chapter competitions in 2019, 2020 and 2021 (Taylor’s Law). Jennifer won the contemporary romance section in the 2020 Orange Rose Contest for Planting Hope and was second overall. Jennifer values competitions for the constructive, honest, not always comfortable feedback they provide.

In 2023 Jennifer placed second in the Romance Writers of New Zealand Koru Best First Book with Taylor’s Law.

Jennifer loves those days when words flow and the joy of writing makes the hard slog worthwhile. She’s always made up stories about strangers in the street, in a café or strolling through an airport terminal; finding inspiration in snippets of conversations, news items and the sheer puzzle of human interactions.

Jennifer lives in inner-city Sydney, Australia, with the requisite number of partners (1) and animals (2). Her desk overlooks a park which nourishes her soul when she raises her head from her keyboard. She gets some of her best ideas during long yin yoga poses or walking—including around the block. While Jennifer adores historical romance, she chose to write contemporary because she thought (wrongly) it needed less research while she was holding down a full-time job.
