Boys of Summer (Purman)

She didn't expect to run into her first love...or to fall back in love with him. At the age of eighteen, Julia Jones left her hometown, the small beachside town of Middle Point, with a head full of grand plans. Plans for an exciting life in a town that didn't involve a main street with only one pub or a particular boy named Ryan Blackburn. But, fifteen-years and a lifetime later, Julia's forced to put her career and big-city life on hold when she returns home to finalize her mother's estate. Which is exactly where she runs smack-bang into the town's hero, Ry. As in Ryan Blackburn! The sensible thing to do? Stay the hell away from him and head back to Melbourne as fast as her stilettos can carry her! But instead, Julia finds his offer of a helping hand and a hot body too delicious to refuse. Soon, she's ignoring her better judgement and diving into an 'I'll think about it tomorrow' fling with Ry. But, what she doesn't realize is that tomorrow has a way of sneaking up on you...and that saying goodbye to her hometown, and to Ry, is so much harder the second time around.

What on earth has happened to Dan McSwaine? When Lizzie Blake knocks on the door of Dan McSwaine's beach house at Middle Point, she barely recognizes the man who answers. Whatever happened to the guy, who swaggered into her home town with a grin and left with her heart in his back pocket? Lizzie wonders if he'll ever be that man again, and if she should risk everything she's built her life on to help him. Dan can't normally bear to be more than ten minutes from a hip bar, an imported beer and a group of hot women. So what is he doing holed up in a falling down beach shack at Middle Point? All he knows is that he's made some crazy decisions since the night a truck slammed into his car and almost killed him. The first one was to think that buying a crumbling piece of coastal real estate was a good idea. The second crazy decision was to try to hide away from the world when a woman like Lizzie Blake is determined to drag him right back into it...

Anna is...unexpected...unbelievable...unstoppable. And, unavailable. Will what happened in Middle Point stay there? Dr. Anna Morelli rarely makes mistakes. But, this one is big, bordering on huge. Somewhere between sunset and sunrise at the simple beachside wedding of two old friends, she's cried in the ladies bathroom, danced to too many ABBA songs and survived the best, knock-your-socks-off one night stand in recorded history. Has she gone crazy? She's supposed to be running from the disasters in her life, not creating more. Award winning journalist Joe Blake is back in Middle Point to lick his wounds after being dumped, by his wife and sacked from his Sydney job on the same day. But, after one incredible night with Anna, he finds he'll need all his investigative skills to figure out why she won't give in to their sizzling chemistry…
