The West Series is another family series I wrote for Harlequin. One short story prequel and four short category romances – they were scattered across various Harlequin lines and imprints as lines consolidated and morphed. Finding and following this series through to completion is not for the faint of heart!
Book #2, Cracking The Dating Code, won the Australian Romance Readers Association’s award for Favourite Short Category Romance for 2012
Book #3, What The Bride Didn’t Know, won the Australian Romance Readers Association’s award for Favourite Short Category Romance for 2013 and the Romance Writers of Australia’s RUBY award for
Short Category Romance for 2014.
The final book in the series, The Spy Who Tamed Me, released in April and July 2015.
Book One in the West Family Series – Damon
Ruby’s Relationship Rules…
Ruby Maguire is done with being jerked around by men. Now she just needs to know three things about a potential bedmate: his name, where he’ll be in a week’s time and what it is he wants from her.
Damon West knows plenty about subterfuge and secrets, and nothing about being truthful with women. But Ruby demands honesty between them so Damon gives her as much as he can: I’m Damon West. I’ll be leaving Singapore in a week. And I want you to touch me.
At least, that was the intent…but something’s telling normally bulletproof Damon that one week with Ruby might not be so easy to recover from.…
