‘Absolutely loved the series. Easy read, and highly romantic.’
A magical adventure romance to have you wishing you were on a Zanzibar beach.
Alkina Jarvis reckons the best way to deal with the end of her marriage is to travel from Australia to Africa to volunteer. But she envisions elephants and lions, not the exotic island paradise of Zanzibar. Turning a dilapidated beach resort into a self-sustainable refuge seems straightforward enough until handsome men keep popping up to distract her.
Kendwa Ely is a wild and sexy adventurer. Sparks fly between Ali and the risk-taking crocodile hunter. Though he may be the Tarzan of her dreams, he has a three-year-old son and an unpredictable side.
Don Cloutier, the island’s doctor, struggles with his demons; drink, women and temptation. Will he stop comparing himself to Kendwa and perhaps win Ali’s heart?
Shaun Flannery is Ali’s handsome neighbour and friend. Can he make her see sense, or is he just wasting his time?
Ali drawn to Kendwa, but his past comes back to haunt them both?
When a medical emergency sends Ali racing home to Australia, she renews her family bonds, uncovers a new betrayal and finds an inner strength from her time with Kendwa in exotic Zanzibar and the wilds of Africa.
But on her return to the island, will the grief of what she finds overwhelm her?
‘Loved it, Donna. I didn’t predict the ending either. It’s exotic, funny and full of adventure. It’s also inspired me to go to Zanzibar one day.’

The prequel to A Summer in Paradise is the story of Kendwa’s earlier life.
A thrilling adventure romance to have you wishing you were on a Borneo beach.
Sexy crocodile wrangler and wildlife ranger Kendwa Ely’s troubles didn’t begin when he buried his parent; they started long before that. When he was seven years old, the unthinkable happens in Africa, and he must stay silent. In a constant effort to forget it, he travels the world, wrangling crocodiles in Australia’s Northern Territory, roping live alligators out of rich people’s pools in Florida, fighting for eco-tourism and bedding a constant stream of women.
That is until he meets Sharli Ahu.
Exquisite as a Hindu princess, Sharli has values, humility and beliefs. A resilient, resourceful woman, she doesn’t need a man like Kendwa. Borneo’s orangutans are her priority. But there’s something about Kendwa that has her lusting after the wild guy despite trying to avoid him.
In the jungles of Borneo, Sharli flees Kendwa. But when a venomous snake strikes him, will she stay and be the only one who can save him?
Can true love survive the secrets people keep?
This book was previously published as Kendwa's Secret.
“This was a most unexpected story. I found the beginning slow so I had my doubts. Then somewhere around chapter three the story kicked off and what a story it was. The author had a distinctly Australian voice which I loved. The story had so many elements, so many complications. I found myself unable to stop reading. The pacing was terrific and the plot was multifaceted and every storyline was intriguing. Yes, this is a romance but it’s also a story about families and their loving complicated relationships. I loved that it was set on the Gold Coast. I could see every scene clearly, almost had me tempted to return to live on the coast ( nope never going to happen). I enjoyed the back story of the elephant. Noah and Emma were a great couple.”- Kirribilligirl 4-Star Goodreads

This book was previously published as Elephant Creek.
“I recommend Elephant Creek for an exciting romance and entertaining holiday read.
The story is set around paddle-boarding an inshore creek at an idyllic Australian beachside. The plot has complications with three generations of family members, an electric romance that overcomes dramatic obstacles, climaxing in a helicopter search and rescue." - Martin Knox, author
