Lilliana Anderson books in order

Dawn has her future planned out to the tiniest detail, and with only one summer left to spend in Hargrave Cove, all of her dreams are about to come true. She'll go to university in the city, finally tell Zeke she's in love with him, then become the best screenplay writer the world has ever seen. All she has to do is follow her plan.

But all that changes when a summer storm brings with it a girl who dances in the rain, turns Zeke's head, and has very strange ideas on what happiness should be. Her arrival brings with it a set of cataclysmic events that challenge everything Dawn ever believed and drive her further away from her dreams than she ever was before.

Thank god she still has Luke, the widowed manager of the local bar, to talk to. Otherwise she'd be completely alone.

When the storm comes again, one thing is sure, Dawn's life will be nothing like she originally planned...

Set in Australia against a picturesque coastal backdrop, In the Wind takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery and sexual-awakening, while reminding us that friends aren't always friends, and love is often where you least expect.

Haunted by his past, Lincoln Ryan abandoned his life in Australia. Retreating halfway around the world to the town of Newsham, he found a place as remote and cold as his heart had become. It suited him perfectly—for a while.

When a fateful event forces him to help out local bar owner, Lily Colbert, Linc finds his life of solitude flooded with the light and hope of one stubborn woman. Slowly his walls begin to crumble as he lets the enigmatic Lily in.

But when Linc and Lily dance perilously close to the ‘L’ word, his secrets re-emerge, rocking him to the core as he tries once again to outrun his past. Unfortunately, the past always seems to follow people around, and for Linc, hiding may not be an option anymore. Not when he has Lily. Not when he might finally have a future…

"This is highly inappropriate."

"Why?" he rumbled in my ear.

"Because you're so young, and because I'm now your boss."

"That just makes it more exciting."

Not even a year after marrying the guy she'd thought was the love of her life, Cora Knowles is already requesting a divorce. To her recollection, philandering was not a part of her wedding vows, and she wasn't about to stand by while 'Sally from accounts' rolled about on her Egyptian cotton sheets.

While trying to soothe her broken heart with copious amounts of cake and liqueur chocolates, her best friend, Olivia suggests that the best way to get over someone, is to get under someone else. Problems arise when the one Cora 'gets under' turns out to be the the son of the Director of Prosecution--her boss. Worse still, he's young. Younger than Cora originally thought, and younger than she's comfortable with.

But, when the attraction is undeniable, Cora needs to decide whether she'll turn her back on the enigmatic Brandon Sharp, or take a risk and follow her heart, even though she promised herself she'd never do that again...

Darcy is expecting a celebration. Or at least a nice piece of cake. Instead, she's served with divorce papers. Oh, and she's broke.

With her twenty year union over and two children to support, she moves in with her eccentric grandmother, hoping to find peace and quiet in the seaside town of Bayside.

What she isn’t expecting to find is a set of saggy old man balls upon arrival.

Needing to bleach her eyes, calm her screaming teen daughter and stop her eight year old son from filming the chaos to upload, Darcy is already reconsidering the sanity in her decision. Turns out, Nana is quite the player in the retirement circle.

She also fancies herself a bit of a matchmaker.

Deciding local football legend, Leo Murphy will provide the ultimate distraction for Darcy, Nana enlists the help of her trouble-loving great-grandson with somewhat disastrous results. Leo doesn't know what hit him. Literally.

With a great smile and a body to die for, it isn’t hard to convince Darcy to give Leo a chance. It also helps that he has a lot of patience for one particularly rambunctious young boy and can’t run too fast on his busted knee—a captive audience is easily swayed, after all.

But with a teenager in the midst of a meltdown, a heart cracked and bruised, and a son who keeps her on her toes, even a chance could prove too much for Darcy. Luckily Leo isn’t the kind of man who gives up easily.

"What's your name, sweetheart?"

That was the first thing. I wasn't his sweetheart, and he should have already known my name. But, that was the moment I became caught in Tyler Lohan's sight. He was wonderful and complicated, and I'd spent my life trying to hate him for being the golden boy who had everything so easy. However, as with all things, Tyler wasn’t the person he appeared to be from the outside, and once I saw him – the real him – I fell, and I don’t think I ever got back up.

There would be a total of forty-seven things that sucked me into Tyler's life then forced me away. Forty-seven things that ruined me forever.

Forty-seven was never going to be enough.

There was no number great enough...

I never asked to slip on a piece of gum then fall in love with a man who would die before the ink was dry on our marriage certificate.

But that's what fate had in store for me. It broke me. I vowed I'd never fall in love again.

Five years later, fate had one more thing planned. It wanted to play around in my life again. Its tool? Another blasted stick of gum. Same place, only this time, it was Jude Baker, a university lecturer, who slipped on the gum.

Despite being a pacifist, Jude wasn't particularly happy about having gum stuck to his shoe and made his distaste abundantly clear.

But that stick of gum was the catalyst to a series of events where our paths would continue to cross. There would be a broken nose, a fractured hand, a cat on a lead and a crashed corporate Christmas party that would align our hearts and make me realise that I wanted to be happy again.

But there would also be tears. Many, many tears. Because falling in love was never easy, especially when you were still in love with another man.

"David is always single. But, he's never wanting."

Girls throw themselves at his feet like he's some kind of rockstar. But not me. No. I'm just his friend; a fact he likes to remind me of at every opportunity.

And I'm OK with that - I think - because he's right. Our friendship is too important. And honestly, I don't want to be one of David's girls. I see the way he uses them to meet his needs then casts them aside when his interest wanes. I'm not about that life. I want something more. Something I don't think David is capable of giving me.

That's not to say I'm immune to his charms. I've never been immune.

I delight in the way his eyes twinkle when he smiles at me.

I relish in the way his voice ripples beneath my skin when we share a secret moment.

And I love the way his fingers feel against my skin when we touch...

Love.

Yes, I've always loved David. Problem is, David has never loved me. Not the way I want him to, anyway.

So, what's a girl to do? Pine and hope for something that will never come? Or suck it up and move on?

I'm choosing to accept my reality and move on.

David should be happy for me. Elliot is the first guy I've felt a deep attraction to in years.

But David isn't happy. In fact, he's downright angry over my new relationship. He says he's worried I'll get hurt again. But I don't know, it feels bigger than that. It feels like I'm losing my best friend. Even though I'm playing by his rules....

NB: This book is also known a Struggle.

Before A Beautiful Struggle, Katrina and David's friendship was a bond that couldn't be broken. Starting with that fated moment when David carried Katrina to the emergency room, we travel back through David's memories as he waits to hear if his best friend and the one woman he truly cares for are going to survive....

"I can't lose her. You don't understand how important she is to me," I ramble. I guess I'm in shock because all I can think about is the sight of all that blood over Katrina's beautiful face. "She's my world. I can't lose her."

After ruining the best relationship he has ever had, Elliot's life takes a turn for the worse and he isn't happy with who he's become.

Deciding to spend three months in the UK on a working visa, in a bid to find himself again, he boards a plane to London. During the flight he meets Paige, a fellow Aussie with a closed heart and a lot to hide.

The closer he gets to Paige the more he's sure that she's hiding something. Will it be enough to send him running? Or does he love her enough to fight this time?

NB: This book is also known as Forever.

After being unceremoniously kicked out of home at a young age, Paige is forced to fend for herself.

In a bid to survive, she does things that most people would never dream of, and stops caring about herself as a result.

When the fastest way to get food and shelter is to use her body, and the fastest way to forget is to self medicate, Paige embarks on a steady downward spiral. Until, finally she hits rock bottom…

In A Beautiful Forever we got to know Paige as she battled the demons of her past to move forward with her future and find her happy ever after. Now, in Phoenix, we get to see the moments those demons were created and how she managed to get her life back on track.

All his life David has seen Katrina as the one woman he wanted in his life forever, and Katrina has felt the same.

So why does she keep putting off their wedding?

When they meet Elliot's new wife and family, David can't help but notice that Katrina is acting strangely. The questions is... why?

Old insecurities and feelings resurface to threaten their happiness. Will their love be enough overcome them and get them to the alter?

Naomi thought she'd met someone wonderful when Elliot came into her life, but he simply wasn't into her. It's the story of her life.

While everyone around her is settling down, she gives up on trying to find her Mr Right, and turns back to the one thing she has always loved - music.

Enter Marcus, he was a year above Naomi at school and she always had a killer crush on him. He now fronts a band with his older brother Theo.

Marcus has the reputation of a playboy and Theo, well... he's just bad news. But their band is doing well and Naomi has the chance to join.

After spending some time in their company, Naomi see's something in each of them she can't ignore. She wonders if joining the band was perhaps a bad idea - you should never mix business with pleasure. Especially when that pleasure could divide families...

NB: This book is also known as Melody.

I am the biggest musical talent Australia has ever exported.

And I've never been more miserable.

Constantly on the road, singing to packed stadiums, having any woman I want; it's supposed to be the dream. And at first it was cool - it was epic - but now it's... hollow. It's an endless sea of faces screaming by name and not a single one of them knowing the real me.

I'm lonely.

I miss the band.

I miss my brother.

I miss her....

She was the first girl I wanted for more than one night. I think I would have wanted her forever if she wanted me back. But she didn't. She wanted my bandmate; my brother. And it was exploding their world that made me famous.

I bet they still hate me...

Needing some time on my own, away from the crowds and the noise, I find myself on home soil for the first time in two years. But the quiet is hard to come by. My label wants an album, the press wants a piece of me, and the public makes going anywhere without a disguise a nightmare. Then I meet Lisa and she changes everything.

Closed off and unimpressed by everything about me, she's the obvious choice when I want someone to be real with. I make her my unauthorized best friend as a result - which she hates, mind you - but she's cool to hang around because she makes me feel normal. And I like her dog, too.

The problem with Lisa is she hates everything there is about the fame game, which makes me a problem for her. She freaks out around cameras and takes the paparazzi on a mad car chase to avoid being seen. She says she doesn't want knowing me to mess with her quiet life. But I don't know, maybe she's hiding something. Or maybe she's just playing hard to get... because seriously, who doesn't want to date a rockstar?

NB: This book is also known as Rock.

Theo and Naomi want nothing more than to spend the rest of their life together as husband and wife. The only hold up has been Theo's brother Marcus - without him there, Theo didn't feel right about sealing his union with the woman he loves.

When Marcus finally swallows his pride and returns to the family, he realizes just how much damage his silence has done and endeavors to right some of those wrongs by giving his brother and Naomi their dream wedding.

The problem is - whose dream wedding is it?

A rock star walks into a room and chokes a movie star before throwing a chair through the window...

Sounds like the start of a bad joke. But it's my reality when I get caught up in the midst of a paparazzi storm brought on by my best friend and her secrets.

As a journalist, I'm normally on the other side of the news. When I spend a night hiding from the cameras with Australia's hottest commodity, movie star Jonathan Masters, I'm thrust into the spotlight and it's not a fun place to be.

I want my life to go back to normal, but that won't happen for three reasons:

1. Jonathan Masters thinks he owes me for saving his life.

2. Jonathan Masters keeps showing up uninvited and the cameras follow.

3. Jonathan Masters is engaged.

Maybe it's only one real reason - Jonathan Masters. And he's ruining my life.

I'll admit that with his God-like looks, charming personality and sex appeal by the bucketful, he's hard to ignore. But his reputation precedes him, and since I'll never be the other woman, he's wasting his time and mine. Besides, I'm already taken. I'm dating a celebrity chef...

NB: This book is also known as Star.

Always forward. Never back.

I've lived my life to that mantra. The past should stay in the past, buried along with the discomfort and heartache.

Always forward.

I'm at the top of my game, dubbed as Australia's most popular celebrity chef by Voyeur magazine. I'm the youngest chef to ever get a Michelin Star. I've travelled the world, thrown everything I have at my career, and I have zero regrets.

Never back.

Then I receive an invite to a reunion. Suddenly that past I've buried comes flooding back: the girl I waited for; the girl I protected; the girl I loved with every inch of my soul; the girl who got away...

The girl who didn't care.

The girl who used me then left me for someone else.

Now I'm going back. Even though I promised myself I'd never think about that heartless b!tch again.

NB: This book is also known as Taste.

Bad boys. They've been Ruby Garvan's weakness since she started dating. But, when one of them took the 'bad' in the 'boy' too far, her bones broke... along with her spirit. She swore she'd never go down that road again. Her next boyfriend would be a 'nice guy' - a man with integrity, goals and a heart of gold.

Armed with a stack of inspirational quotes and a list of traits her new man must have, Ruby goes in search of her happily ever after. She's convinced she's found it with her self-defense instructor - a kind hearted man named Joel, who cares for her deeply.

But when Flynn Trotsky literally slams into her life with the force of a steam train, he quickly derails her plans with his unwavering interest and refusal to take no for an answer. After a drunken night of far too much honesty, the two strike a deal - two weeks for Flynn to show Ruby that he's not the bad boy she thinks he is. If he can't convince her, he'll go away for good this time.

Ruby doesn't think he stands a chance against her resolve to turn her life around, and agrees to get the pesky dare-devil out of her way and hopefully out of her mind.

But, when your friends are all on his side, the chemistry just might be too palpable for even the most stubborn red-head to ignore...

NB: This book is also known as Danger.

Nate Cartwright is a thief.

Of hearts.

And dignity.

Oh, and stuff too.

He took everything. The first time he stole from me I was blindsided by his charm and his giant er...member.

And the second time he stole from me was my own damn fault because I invited him in, knowing what he was. You see, he took something very important to me and I wanted it back.

He said he did it to teach me a lesson—you can’t tangle with a thief without consequences.

But I didn’t listen.

I didn’t learn.

I tracked him down to make him pay, and now I’m in so far over my head I’ll never get out. Nate isn’t just a thief. He‘s the tip of a dark and sinister iceberg.

And I’m being forced to marry him.

Before Sam, I was the most boring, awkward and level-headed person you've ever met. I was my best friend's side-kick, the supporting actress to another person's life. And I was OK like that.

I was lonely.

But I was OK.

Then I met Sam. Our eyes locked and BANG my heart started beating. As my blood warmed and pumped around my body, everything changed. Before that moment, I had been as dead inside as the stiffs I applied make-up to in the mortuary. Now I was alive, experiencing things for the first time, enamoured with a man I knew to be a criminal.

Instead of running and remaining the good Catholic girl I was, I married him.

Now I have to live with the consequences of that decision.

I didn’t have an easy life. Waiting tables for a function center was about as good as life got for me. There were no tips—unless telling me I had a great arse could be considered a tip—but it was enough for me to live on, barely. Everything else I needed, I took. And I was never caught, except that one time when these brothers and some weird chick busted me for stealing their car. It was their fault I took it. They shouldn’t have left their keys where I could find them. And it was a sweet ride; I chucked a couple of donuts in that thing and it smoked up like a charm. Good times.

Anyway, those guys took the car back, turned my boyfriend into a pussy and ended up making me homeless. When I saw that same car again in the function center parking lot, I couldn’t resist. I pulled out my keys and started scratching. C… U… busted. I should’ve known it was a bad idea, but I never was one to listen to my conscience. Suddenly I was locked in a room while a family of five ridiculously hot brothers argued over what to do with me. Their mother wanted me dead, but they were insisting that stealing and vandalism weren’t necessarily grounds for a beheading. I was on their side. I quite liked my head—even though it seemed like I’d just gotten myself in way over it.

But do you know what was crazy? The brother I’d stolen from, the one who’d caught me defacing his car, was now watching me like a lion watches a big juicy steak. Hmm, maybe I could spin this in my favor after all….

"I’m a tomboy through and through. But when the man of my dreams walks through my door, I want to be all woman. But that’s not how I roll…."

Skirts and dresses, makeup and perfume. Things I knew nothing about. With my red hair and lanky body, I was just one of the guys. The ‘cool’ girl they hung out with but rarely dated seriously. Not that I had time for relationships anymore. Ever since my grandad passed, I’d been working day and night to try and salvage the failing locksmith business he’d spent his lifetime building.

Then he walked in. Abbot Cartwright. Childhood friend. Collector of many women. I hadn’t seen him since he was thirteen.

He grew up good.

He also liked to play games. Games I was willing to be a part of, at first. Then things started getting serious—and illegal...

I had feelings and morals.

Abbot didn’t have either.

He needed my expertise, and I needed his commitment.

Seemed neither of us was going to get one without the other. And I was getting too old to play games.

My job had a very specific goal: I found people who didn’t want to be found and delivered them to whoever employed me. After that, well, I tried not to think about what happened while I spent my money on things that made me happy. Resorts, men…I lived life by the seat of my pants because I never knew where I’d be the next week, or who I’d be looking for.

When the head of a lesser-known criminal family hired me to find her son, I wasn’t sure what I was walking into. I had his photo, so I knew the man was hot with a capital H. But I expected the usual agitated scumbag I normally went after. Not some guy running a fishing charter and looking like he didn’t have a care in the world.

I might have been curious.

I might have gotten a little too close.

I might have done a lot of things I shouldn’t have.

Things that could get me killed this time.

But hey, life wasn’t always about making the right choices. It was about making good ones.

And Toby Cartwright was a great choice.

"Enter the world of Etta, in Drawn."

Have you ever felt so drawn to someone, that you will put up with anything to be with them? That's how I feel when I'm around him.

Most of the time, I want to hate him. I want to stay as far away from him as possible. He's so cocky, and arrogant. And he gets in the way and tells me what to do. He's all things that I normally detest in a man. But, when we're alone... I can't even think for myself - the pull is that intense.

He's nothing like Aaron, a man who has been my closest friend for the last two years, and understood my struggles with an overbearing father who wouldn't let me out of his sight until I turned eighteen. A man who has waited for me...

But now I am eighteen, and a simple knock on a door will introduce me to a tortured soul named Damien, an artist, and a fighter, our ties run deeper than I could have imagined. This man will become my vice and knowing him will change my life forever.

I know I should run, I know I should stay away. But I can't. I don't know if I'm strong enough.

What do you do when you can't stay away? Even when you know you should...

"Have you ever wanted the power to decide who the heroine of a story will ultimately end up with?"

Now is your chance with Drawn 2 where you have a choice of TWO sequels in which the characters follow TWO different paths to lead them to your chosen 'happily ever after'. This is not two stories told from different points of view. This is not an alternate ending - it's an entirely separate path that readers who choose to read both sequels will appreciate the 'sliding door' moments that set our characters off in a different direction.

Different choices. Different fates

You hold the power You get to choose - Damien... or Aaron.

In Drawn, we met Etta and watched as her obsessive relationship with Damien sent both of them into world of darkness and self-destruction. We also met Aaron, the constant in Etta's life - the man who was willing to do anything it took to keep her safe.

Two Men. One woman. A decision that will change everything...

That decision is yours...

Three years have passed since Damien lost Etta. His obsessive and irrational behavior drove her away and destroyed his life.

For three years he has languished in prison. Every day he had but one thought - Etta. She is the holder of his soul and he can't see a life without her in it.

When he is finally released and tracks her down, he is faced with something he didn't expect. His daughter, and Aaron.

Damien needs to redeem himself in the eyes of the woman he loves. He needs to prove to her that he is the kind of man she can build a life with - even if that means telling her all of his secrets and possibly ruining everything for good.

"Have you ever wanted the power to decide who the heroine of a story will ultimately end up with?"

Now is your chance with Drawn 2, where you have the choice of two sequels in which the characters follow two different paths to lead them to your chosen "happily ever after".

This is not two stories told from different points of view. This is not an alternate ending - it's an entirely separate path that listeners who choose to listen to both sequels will appreciate the "sliding door" moments that set our characters off in different directions.

Two men. One woman. A decision that will change everything....

That decision is yours....

Three years have passed since Aaron rescued Etta from Damien. In that time, things have changed, and they have made a life together.

When Damien returns, demanding what he feels is rightfully his, Aaron will have to stand his ground or risk losing everything he holds dear.

Their love, trust, and commitment will all be put to the test in this tale of fighting for those you hold dear - even if the consequences could be catastrophic.

In Drawn - Obsession, we follow Etta, Aaron, and Damien. They will walk the path you set them on when you make the choice to support Aaron. To support Damien, you will need to listen to Drawn - Redemption.

Zac Rivers. A boy no one wanted to know. Always angry. Always fighting his way in and out of trouble. It was no surprise when he was expelled from school and never heard from again.

Until now.

I found him at the Londonderry Brawl, and I watched him fight like an animal. Strong. Controlled. But desperate. I sensed in him a purpose – a need to win – and I wanted to know what was so important to him. The way he fought was mesmerizing, and I couldn't take my eyes off him. Then, it was over, he'd won and I needed to leave.

He didn't want me to.

When his lips met mine, somehow, he stole my heart, and in that moment, I knew my world was forever changed. I needed to know this boy. I needed to discover all there was to know about him or I'd never be able to breathe again. No one thinks we should be together. They say his bad news.

Well, people say I'm bad news too.

Then, as fate would have it, I was forced to introduce him to my most fierce protector. A man whose past is riddled with secrets and mistakes; a man who fought his way from the darkness and into the light; a man called Damien – my father.

My name is Yvonne Rhodes, although, you may prefer to call me Evie. I'm the eldest daughter of Damien and Henrietta Rhodes. Inside me, I have my mother’s sense, and my father’s passion.

This is Zac's and my story. It's about needing someone to the point of obsession. It's about losing control, and finding a way to pick up the pieces when everything seems broken.

And it's about love. One that's so strong, nothing can stop it.

There are two sides to every story. You've read Zac's, now it's time to read Meg's...

“Don’t promise, Hugo. Just take what’s yours and hold on as tight as you can.”

Sometimes, it's inappropriate to fall in love with a certain someone. I should know. When I met Hugo Sparks, I didn't know he was my art teacher. But, by the time we found out, it was too late - we'd already fallen. But, we did the right thing, we tried to fight it. Eventually though, we gave in. That was when my brother Zac caught us. He said it would tear our family apart - we were already hanging on by a thread. I said I was in love. He didn't believe me and did everything he could to keep us apart.

Including breaking my heart.

In return, I broke his.

My name is Meg Reid - Zac Rivers' half sister. This is a tale of hurting the ones you love, and thinking it's for the best.

During a routine meeting at a special needs school in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, Mia is set to discuss the welfare of one of her students. It's here that she's introduced to Dr Cayd Donnelly, a man so devastatingly attractive that she almost forgot to say no when he asked her out - despite her loyalty to her long term boyfriend, Eric.

Shortly after, the usually predictable Mia becomes anything but. The change in her behaviour delights Eric, but concerns her best friend Louise when she stops signing while they talk.

After a month of worry and frustration, Mia finally seeks help. Help that comes in the form of an incredibly hard to resist doctor - Cayd.

From there, she discovers just how entwined her life and her heart is with those of others while she navigates a path of passion, treachery, and loss.

Things will never be the same for Mia again...

NB: This book was previously known as Alter.

After the disastrous reunion between twin sisters Mia and Natalie, Natalie returned to Sydney, leaving Mia, Cayd, Eric, Louise and Josh to get on with their lives.

Over the next year, they all try to move on. Louise and Josh become engaged, and Mia and Cayd now live together. But Eric is still lost, he fell hard for Natalie, even though he didn’t really know her – and can’t stop thinking about her.

Natalie wants a second chance. She’s been trying to find her birth mother in the hopes that her twin will want to meet her too. And if she can get Mia to forgive her, then maybe Eric can forgive her too…

But when the past is uncovered, huge secrets are revealed that will once again threaten everyone’s happiness.

Mia just wants Natalie to leave her alone. Every time she enters her life, everything falls apart. First she ruined her relationship with Eric, and now she’s uncovering things about Cayd that Mia’s not sure she can get past.

And then there's their mother…without realizing it, their lives are already entwined – far more than any of them will ever be comfortable with.

~Chloe~

Rules are made to be broken...

That's what they say but I used to follow the rules. I used to have pride, honor, and obedience. I was raised to believe that in the world in which I lived, money and power ruled, and everyone made sacrifices. I knew my priorities. Family first. The company second. And what I wanted a very distant third.

I followed the rules, but couldn't have known that obedience would ultimately cause betrayal. On many fronts.

My father was framed, and I'll do whatever it takes to put the right man behind bars.

My name is Chloe Donovan, and I'm going to make things right. But to do that, I need to break the law, and I can't do it on my own. I need help. The problem is, the only person capable of helping, hates me. I don't blame him. I promised him the world and then I ran away...

~Aiden~

I used to follow the rules. Until Chloe Donovan. She was my boss's daughter. I shouldn't have touched her. But I did. Three years ago, she came into my life, consuming it. Consuming me. I needed her. She betrayed me, as did her father. Lies and deception. Never again.

Chloe was the worst mistake I ever made. She's temptation and destruction wrapped in a beautiful package. But, my blood doesn't really fill my brain when I'm around her...

Now, she's back, declaring her innocence and once again, ensnaring me with her magnetism, her beauty, her allure. I should say no.

But Chloe Donovan owns me. I still want her. Her draw may be the death of me.

Be careful whom you trust...

It's something I thought I knew but with Chloe Donovan, all of my reasons seems to fly out the window the moment I'm around her.

Blinded by lust, persuaded by love. I hedged my bets on our forever. Twice. And both times, I lost. She's gone. And once again, she's ruined my life.

Stuck helping a federal agent by the name of Drake Jefferson, I'm biding my time until I can find where she is.

I won't be giving up my partner in crime to the authorities. I'll be dealing out my own brand of justice, and when I'm done, I don't care if I rot in prison for it.

Chloe Donovan had better start sleeping with one eye open. Because I'm coming for her.

She played me.

I let her in, and she played me. If she sees me. She'd better run.

I won't be trusting her a third time.

Ok, I'll admit it - My mother in law used to be a sex worker. She worked in a brothel, as an escort and, as a madame in and around Sydney Australia in the late '80s. It's something that she has confided in few people outside her immediate family until me. We are polar opposites in many ways but we get each other - as a result I have become the confidante in her life which is how this series has been born.

The exact year was 1989; Angelien was 32 when she made the decision to enter a brothel to help support herself and her two sons. She quickly became the most popular girl there with her Kathleen Turner looks and her excellent 'acting' skills.

This is a biography about friendship, discovery and of course sex. Confidante: The Brothel is a collection of Angelien's most memorable stories during her month working in the brothel.

You thought I was shocked when I found out that my mother in law used to work in a brothel! Imagine my surprise when she told me that after she got out of there she decided to return to work in the sex industry.

But this time - she wanted to go where the money was, she wanted to be an Escort.

Follow Angelien, a now retired Sydney sex worker, in this true story, as she breaks boundaries when she insists of becoming an escort in her mid 30s, proving to everyone that a mature lady can be a very successful and sought after woman in an industry dominated by youth.

After leaving the Escort agency, Angelien kept up with a few regular clients and was often called in to work parties with other girls as a type of freelancer. Then one of her colleagues came to her with a business proposition that she couldn't refuse - they would run their own escort agency and offer only mature women for the more discerning men. Experience equalled money in the sex industry, and Angelien and her new partner, Elena, built up quite the name for themselves.

Follow Angelien, a now retired Sydney sex worker during her final year in the industry through this story based on real events. This is Confidante: The Madame.
