I'm a big fan of Rosalind James' books, especially her Escape to New Zealand series, but really, almost all of her books. And right now, Catch a Kiwi, which is the sixth and most recent in her New Zealand Ever After series, is free at Kindle US and UK. She doesn't seem to be writing books in the Escape to NZ series any more, but NZ Ever After is pretty good too.

Breathe, smile, and move on.

When you’re writing the next chapter in your rags-to-riches-to-rags story, you need about a million quotes like that. I might have been short on inspiration, but I had determination. That was it, except for a very young cousin and a very old campervan, but I was all about starting over. Nobody knew me in New Zealand other than a series of café and motel managers, and anonymity suited me fine. Manlessness suited me even finer.

Until the day when that campervan rolled down a South Island hillside in a tropical cyclone and trapped my cousin Delilah inside, and an extremely rude stranger helped me get her out. Now, I had no campervan and possibly even less inspiration. I still had determination, though. Determination not to let one Roman D’Angelo, no matter how rich or bossy he might be, run my life or mess with my inner peace. I was serene. I was independent. I was in control.

I was in so much trouble.
