The Mackenzies (Books 1–3): 3 heartwarming New Zealand romances about family, secrets, and second chances
About this ebook
Meet the Mackenzie brothers and the women who challenge their hearts in this emotional, clean romance series filled with passion, resilience, and hope.
This boxed set contains the first three books in the six-book Mackenzie series:
A Place Called Home
An art restorer yearning for family meets a widower afraid to love again. When a mysterious painting connects their pasts, both must choose between hiding from heartbreak or risking everything for the home and love they've always wanted. A heartfelt story of second chances set in beautiful New Zealand.
Secrets at Parata Bay
A grieving mother seeks revenge against the billionaire she blames for her losses. But when attraction ignites between them, Cassandra must choose between destroying Dallas Mackenzie or surrendering to a love that could heal them both. A powerful story of grief, redemption, and unexpected romance.
Escape to Shelter Springs
Fleeing control, Gemma finds freedom in New Zealand—until one night with guilt-ridden rancher Callum changes everything. An unplanned pregnancy forces marriage, but can he learn that love means letting go? A story about healing, trust, and discovering protection doesn't have to mean imprisonment.
The series continues with:
What you see in the Stars
Second Chance at Whisper Creek
Summer at The Lakehouse Café
Note: These books were previously published under different titles (The Real Thing, The PA's Revenge, The Marriage Trap, The Cowboy's Craving, The Playboy's Redemption and The Lakehouse Café). These new editions contain mild sexual content only.

About the author
I write emotional, heartwarming romances with stories which make you turn the pages, and characters who feel real—whether they be sheikhs, British billionaires, medieval knights or everyday people whose lives are usually far from everyday (at least in my books).
I'm an avid people watcher, hopeless romantic and dreamer who spends far too much time gazing out the window, imagining scenes where people struggle with life and emotions but always end up happily. Because, yes, I'm also an eternal optimist!
I live in beautiful New Zealand, just north of Wellington in a small village by the sea. It's here, in a sunny window seat overlooking the hills and trees, that I write my books.
Wherever you are in the world, welcome to my little corner, where I sit with my two cocker spaniels snoring gently beside me, creating worlds where people struggle with life and emotions but are always rewarded with love and happiness in the end. Because that's non negotiable!
