We're back!!
After the success of our anthology last year, Christmas on Hope Street, we (the Fabulous Five) decided we couldn't let a year go by without bringing you another collection, but this year we're doing New Year's Eve! With sparkles!
Love and Fireworks: a New Year's Eve romance anthology ... because next year can't come soon enough!
Here's the setup:
A mystery philanthropist holds a New Year's Eve party every year, and this year the party is being held on a mega yacht in Sydney Harbour to raise money for the Community Heroes Foundation.
This annual party is famous! Tickets cost a thousand bucks a pop, they sell out in seconds, but guess what?
There are secret tickets. Golden secret tickets. And this year, all you have to do to win one is be nominated by a member of the public for being a community hero.
Will you receive a golden ticket this year?
Our stories include a golden ticket winner, a journalist, a singer from the band, a hideaway in a cupboard, and even the shock unveiling of the mysterious philanthropist who makes this party happen!
Do you want to take a break from the grim reality of now? Why not escape into our stories and let love and fireworks bring in a new year!
Love and Fireworks is sweet contemporary romance set in sunny Australia, and it uses Aussie spelling, Aussie slang, and homegrown Aussie heroes.

A ticket for her ... plus one.
She's living in a tent. She doesn't own a dress. She definitely doesn't have a plus one. But somehow, at the stroke of midnight, she's going to find herself with a happy new ending.

Can he keep his identity secret until the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, or will Caitlin discover the truth?
