THE SECRET I'VE BEEN KEEPING...

So, I have been vague-booking and talking about a REALLY big secret I have been keeping for months and months and MONTHS.
Speaking of how much I was looking forward to sharing the news with you, and that how in time I would reveal all.

Well, the time has come…

I HAVE A NEW BOOK DEAL!!!


But you knew that already because you totally just read the bold, pink, shouty capitals first didn't you? YEAH you did! Good for you, I have tortured you long enough.


So, YES!

New book deal for a BRAND NEW series, and I am beyond thrilled to have signed a three book, world rights deal with Hachette, Australia. I was so incredibly fortunate to be signed by Hachette for my Paradise series in late 2014, so to be able to work with them again on a new series is extremely exciting and I can't wait to bring these stories to you.
And the best thing about today is that I don't get to reveal just one cover, but all THREE covers AND blurbs for one big EPIC series reveal.

THE HEART OF THE SERIES
The first standalone book in CJ Duggan's HEART OF THE CITY series - a very sassy, super sexy New Adult romance from the internationally bestselling author of the SUMMER and PARADISE series.

'You're breaking up with me!'He was silent.'In Paris.'Eyes dropping.'Under the Eiffel-fucking-Tower!' I screamed.
Twenty-five-year-old Claire Shorten had looked forward to spending a romantic weekend in Paris for as long as she could remember, and now it was here - three blissful days of strolling through cobbled streets arm-in-arm with her beloved, eating copious amounts of baked goods and soaking up the culture through each and every pore of her body. Well, at least, that was how she'd pictured it . . .
Even after her boyfriend dumps her rather unceremoniously in the most romantic place on earth, Claire is determined not to give up on her dream altogether - with or without a boyfriend. She finds herself a job in the kitchen of a small hotel; Michelin-starred it most certainly is not, but somehow Claire makes a place for herself amidst the dirty dishes and the foreign misfits who run the place.
When the restaurant attracts the attention of the enigmatic - if not slightly terrifying - tycoon Louis Delarue, and Claire manages to survive his high-powered business luncheon from hell, she knows that she can survive anything, surely. But all bets are off when Louis makes a game-changing decision: he's coming back for a second course . . .

Sarah Williams is a spirited, independent Aussie who has always dreamed of New York City. So when a job opportunity arises to become an au pair for a successful businessman in the heart of Manhattan, Sarah jumps at the chance to follow her dream.
What she didn't bet on was a beautiful newborn and a distant, abrasive man whose eyes hold a million anguished secrets. Determined to care for his daughter and face the challenges of the impossible Ben Worthington, Sarah was always prepared to follow her heart; she just wasn't prepared to lose it to a complicated man like Ben.

Like so many of her university friends, Kate Brown is London bound, but unlike her friends - who had the chance to enjoy the beer, sights and attractions of the UK - Kate is instead visiting her grandmother (who may or may not be the devil).
Wanting nothing more than to be a normal, independent twenty-something living it up in ol' London town, Kate finds herself a prisoner in her grandmother's Kensington terrace, daydreaming about the holiday that could have been. But when Kate is almost run over by posh, smirking playboy Henry Baker, it leaves her wondering if being out and about is such a good idea after all, especially when she catches herself laughing at his jokes.
One thing Kate knows for sure is that she has to avoid Henry at all costs. But with her balcony facing his, you can pretty much guarantee Kate's London adventure is going to be anything but boring . . .

How beautiful are these covers?

Many thanks to the amazingly talented Keary Taylor and the lovely Hachette team for bringing my vision to life, I simply adore everything about them.
