Hidden Gem

Can one Cinderella night change Marnie's life forever?

Newly diagnosed with a chronic illness, Marnie is planning to hide away in a remote cabin. Fate has other plans. A surprise invitation to a gala, along with a makeover, and she's swept into a whirlwind romance.

Rising political superstar Jason is on a mission to fix New Zealand's housing crisis. If only he could sleep. Haunted by guilt, he stares at the ceiling every night, his goals slipping away with his health and sanity. Until hope enters his life in the shape of a woman. She seems to remedy everything—his insomnia, career... and libido.

Then she vanishes.

Jason scours New Zealand to find her. But as he falls for the woman of his dreams (pun intended), he discovers how much really stands in the way of their happily ever after.

Tough questions about ageing, illness and self-worth are examined in this spicy romance that will leave you with a warm glow.
