Book Description
Enjoy this second chance, rich/poor, emotional, small-town treasure hunt romance by author Frances Dall'Alba set in both Australia and a small village in southern Italy. Hidden treasures ? broken spirits ? tangled love. Sassy and stubborn, Liz Emerson has always done it tough. Raised by her grandparents, there?s only her nan left. With her finances tight and her career on hold, when a bundle of cash comes her way, she?s already allocated it to sensible and practical costs, not for what it?s intended. Fiercely proud and loyal, billionaire Connor Levorico has always followed the principals of his hardworking grandfather. On the night of his death, his grandfather reveals one final secret and Connor makes a promise. Connor and Liz find themselves on the same reckless path, looking for buried heirloom jewels, in a tiny out of the way village in southern Italy. Except, neither knows the other is on the same mission, and the unexpected heat building up between them will only cause trouble if they don?t tell each other the truth. This modern-day treasure hunt turns dangerous when a third person joins the search. It comes to a futile end when the truth blows up, leaving Liz badly hurt and Connor forced to return home to a family emergency. But not even Connor?s wealth can prepare him for the sudden change that will impact his life forever. As he claws his way out of the darkness, the lure of the jewels won?t go away. Can Connor convince Liz to return for one more shot at finding the jewels? He?s prepared to risk everything, even his heart, bargaining a no-strings-attached arrangement to ensure she agrees. Liz fights back, not sure who to trust. Her heart was left in tatters last time. Why would she risk it again? The Shooting Star is the first novel in the Sway of The Stars Series, although all books in the Sway of The Stars Series can be read as standalones. For fans of Melanie Harlow, Kristen Proby and Georgia Le Carre, books by Frances Dall'Alba are filled with romance, emotion, passion, love, second chances, friends to lovers, mystery and intrigue, might contain some ugly-cry, will contain some steamy scenes, and will always end happily. They are Australian themed and set in amazing Australian locations.
