The West Family

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.
