Sean looked out
over the lake, squinting against the sunlight. He turned to me, his
expression sobering as his eyes flicked over my face in a silent study.
“Come on Amy, I saved you once, I’ll save you again.”
I met his stare unflinchingly. “I don’t need saving.”
A wicked grin formed slowly. “Don’t you?”
After
a rebellious summer night that almost claimed her life, Amy Henderson –
the Onslow publican’s only daughter – is sent away to suffer a fate far
worse than any other punishment:
Boarding School.
Three
years on, a now nineteen-year-old Amy returns to Onslow for the summer.
What once was a cauldron of activity with live bands, hot meals and
cold beers, the Onslow Hotel now lies dark, deserted and depressing. All
fond childhood memories of loitering on the hotel stairs and
eavesdropping on customers’ colourful conversations are in the distant
past.
How had her dad let it come to this?
With
the new threat of putting the Onslow up for sale, Amy reluctantly turns
to a local tradesman for help: Sean Murphy, the very same Onslow boy
who saved her life all those years ago. With his help and that of some
old friends, the task is clear: spend the summer building the hotel back
up to its former glory or lose it for good.
In
an endless summer, Amy soon realises that sometimes in order to save
your future, you have to face your past, even if it’s in the form of a
smug, gorgeous Onslow boy.
About the first book in the series:
Release Date: December 17, 2012
Description:
It seemed only natural to nickname them the ‘Onslow Boys’. Every time they swaggered in the front door of the Onslow Hotel after a hard week’s work, their laughter was loud and genuine as they settled onto their bar stools. I peeked through the restaurant partition, a flimsy divider between my world and theirs. I couldn’t help but smile whenever I saw them, saw him ... Toby Morrison.
Quiet seventeen-year-old Tess doesn’t relish the thought of a summertime job. She wants nothing more than to forget the past haunts of high school and have fun with her best friends before the dreaded Year Twelve begins.
To Tess, summer is when everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the fireworks at the Onslow Show and water bomb fights at the sweltering Sunday markets.
How did she let her friends talk her into working?
After first-shift disasters, rude, wealthy tourists and a taunting ex-boyfriend, Tess is convinced nothing good can come of working her summer away. However, Tess finds unlikely allies in a group of locals dubbed ‘The Onslow Boys’, who are old enough to drive cars, drink beer and not worry about curfews. Tess’s summer of working expands her world with a series of first times with new friends, forbidden love and heartbreaking chaos.
All with the one boy she has never been able to forget.
It will be a summer she will always remember.
