Little Blue Box (Australian At Heart, #1)

Regrets, lies, and earth-shattering secrets. When Ella learns the identity of her biological father, nothing will stand in her way. Not even his power. When things don't go to plan, can one little blue box put Ella and Zane back on the same path? This second-chance contemporary romance is filled with suspense, emotion and a life-changing sizzling romance. There's one thing missing in Ella Harvey's life-her biological father. All she has is a few clues in a little box and a mother not willing to share anything. Add in her impatience and stubbornness and Ella decides to go about finding him herself. Then there's Zane. He's used to barrelling his way through life without too much stress. He has a great family, a new career path and a beloved Ducati motorcycle. When tasked with searching for Ella's father, Zane discovers a secret that threatens to unravel their lives. The attraction between Zane and Ella is flaring up quickly, but all will go up in flames if Zane doesn't tell Ella what he knows. Ella finds out the hard way that searching for the truth doesn't always go to plan. She'll bundle up Zane's heart, wrap it up tight and hand it back to him. Problem solved and no one gets hurt. But Zane won't give Ella up. To keep the gorgeous Ella by his side, he had to find her father. To keep the woman he's now fallen in love with, he'll have to save her mother. Will the unexpected twist that comes their way be enough for the head-strong Ella and Ducati-loving Zane to find their way back onto the same path?
