On a tous une façon de se cacher. Certains s’isolent, d’autres se jettent dans les bras du premier venu.

Depuis la mort de son compagnon, Caleb Maguire mène une vie paisible dans les montagnes australiennes avec sa chienne et ses chevaux pour toute compagnie. Les jours passent et se ressemblent.... jusqu’au jour où une tempête de neige s’abat sur la montagne et où Caleb doit secourir un touriste perdu. Avec la neige arrive une âme en peine qui va obliger Caleb à remettre en question sa vie solitaire.

Paul Turner est barman à Carlton, le quartier branché de Melbourne. Il vit la vie au jour le jour ; mais cette vie sans attache s’apprête à prendre fin. En trois jours, Paul tombe amoureux de Caleb. Il revient en ville en lui promettant qu’il va reprendre sa vie en main... mais seulement quand toutes les routes seront dégagées.

A Harmony Ink Press Title

Early settlers transported foxes to the Australian colonies, but not all foxes are what they appear.

Connor Coutts fiercely guards the family secret of the Furborn in sheep country Victoria, where foxes are shot on sight and left to hang from trees as a warning to others. At seventeen he is the only male Furborn for hundreds of miles, one of the last of a rapidly dwindling legacy. His life’s path is clear—until someone new arrives at the MacKenzie sheep farm. Spencer MacKenzie, with his long black hair and gothic style, might seem out of place, but it soon becomes clear that the two boys could make a formidable team against their enemies.

But before they can work together, Connor owes Spencer the truth…. He’s just not sure if he should trust him.

Fortsetzung zu Eine Randbemerkung

Weihnachten ist für viele die Zeit der Liebe und Freude, doch für drei Männer in einem Buchladen namens Margins wird die heiße australische Weihnacht auch zu einer Zeit des Nachdenkens über das, was einst war und das, was noch kommen wird und zeigt ihnen auf, wie wichtig Heimat und Familie sind. Ihre Lebenswege führen im Buchladen zusammen, doch dabei hat jeder seine eigenen Hürden zu meistern: David fällt es schwer, mit seinem Sohn wieder eine Verbindung aufzubauen; John erfährt etwas über den Vater, der ihn verlassen hat, und Jamie macht sich darauf gefasst, Weihnachten zum ersten Mal allein verbringen zu müssen.

John McCann ist ein Mensch, der das Leben nach den Bilanzen im Hauptbuch beurteilt. Sein oberstes Ziel ist es, den geschäftlichen Erfolg, den er sich erarbeitet hat, zu erhalten und zu genießen. Jedoch stellen ihn zunehmend schlimmere Migräneanfälle vor ein Problem, und sein Arzt rät ihm zu einem Tapetenwechsel – er solle sich doch ein nettes kleines Geschäft auf dem Lande kaufen, zur Ruhe kommen, seine Zeit mit etwas Einfacherem ausfüllen…

John weiß zwar, dass der Doktor recht hat, doch er kann seinen hart erkämpften Job nicht einfach aufgeben. Also beschließt er, sich ein Jahr frei zu nehmen; dieses Opfer dürfte seine Pläne nicht allzusehr stören. Und so findet er sich als Geschäftsführer des Margins wieder, eines gemütlichen kleinen Buchladens. Jamie, der Sohn der früheren Besitzerin, wird sein Assistent. John rechnet fest damit, nach diesem einen Jahr seinen Stress unter Kontrolle zu haben und zum Geschäft zurückkehren zu können.

Allerdings hat John nicht damit gerechnet, wie sehr das Margins und seine Menschen ihn in den Bann ziehen – vor allem der stille, ungepflegte Mann, der in einem alten Ledersessel in der Secondhand-Abteilung Zuflucht sucht. Johns Pläne für ein ungebundenes Jahr als einfacher Ladenbesitzer zerfallen zu Staub, als er David kennenlernt und sich gezwungen sieht, das Leben, die Liebe und seine wirklichen Erwartungen an beides neu zu bewerten. John und David müssen beide erst ihre Vergangenheit bewältigen, ehe sie daran denken können, sich eine gemeinsame Zukunft aufzubauen.

John McCann, a man who judges life by the tally of an accounts ledger, has a supreme goal in life: To achieve, live, and enjoy the rarified executive lifestyle. But he's encountered one problem: The migraines are going to continue to get worse unless you make some major changes in your lifestyle. What you need is a 'sea change'… Perhaps buy a nice little business in the country, settle down, something easier to occupy your time…

While John knows the doctor is right, he just can't resign from the job he's fought so hard for. He decides the sacrifice of taking a year's leave of absence won't interfere too much with his plans, and so he finds himself running Margins, a cozy little bookstore, with the help of the former owner's son, Jamie. John expects to put in his year, get his stress under control, and then get back to business.

What John doesn't expect is how Margins and its denizens draw him in, particularly the quiet, disheveled man who takes refuge in the old leather chair in the second-hand book section. John's plans for an unattached year of simple business crumble when he meets David and is forced to reevaluate life, love and what he really wants from both. John and David are forced to come to terms with their pasts as they struggle to determine what possible future they might build together.
