Book description
Lucy's life was supposed to be idyllic once she and her family
moved to sun-soaked Oz - but it couldn't be more of a mess.
No sooner have they unpacked their Marmite, than Lucy catches
her darling husband Jasper inflagrante. With her best friend Renee. In
one double blow, she loses the two people she trusted most - and now
has to fend for herself.
While Lucy battles her daughter (low self esteem is hereditary - you
get it from your teenagers) and desperately tries to turn herself into
an Aussie love goddess to win Jasper back, she meets Jack
"Lockie" McLachlan. He's a rugged lifeguard with plenty of
experience in rescuing damsels in distress. But Lucy can do without
any further complications in her life right now. The only question is,
without Lockie's kiss of life, will she sink or swim?
