NEW YEAR'S EVE 📕

Being born on the last day of the year has never done Eve any favours, but this year her birthday set off a series of rolling explosions rather than fireworks.

An affair with a married man just crashed and burned, her career is in tatters and now there’s a phone call from her mother she can’t ignore.

Eve is forced to slink back to the outback town she ditched at 18 and face the family she’s been actively ignoring, the teenage love she never forgot, and the pub (or is that ‘family home’?—you say potato, I say ‘po-taa-to’!) that holds too many of her secrets.

Full of heart, humour, and romance, get ready to fall in love with New Year's Eve.
