Kate and Matt Crowther are finally moving out of London, in search of a better life for their young family. Trade Cottage seems to be the house of their dreams – and they immediately hit it off with the sellers, Rosemary and Paul Finch, who brought up their own family there. When Kate and Matt move in, they’re pleased to discover the Finches still very much in offering advice, introducing them to the local community, and becoming honorary grandparents to Will, 11, and Tilly, 9.

But when the Finches take exception to Kate and Matt’s renovations, relations with the neighbours sour, and Kate and Matt find themselves subjected to a vicious campaign of hate. But Kate isn’t giving up her dream home without a fight. And it turns out Trade Cottage has secrets of its own to reveal – secrets that may endanger the very family Kate has moved there to protect . . .

They say your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. For Dan Milligan it isn’t his life … it’s memories of his dad. Dan has spent his whole life chasing something. Fast cars, leggy blondes, the rush of making a lot of money and the cocaine high to celebrate. But as the stock market plummets in 1987, his world comes crashing down.

A new life on the South Coast isn’t too bad. Mowing lawns is good honest work. Most days. But other days, he tells himself he’ll get back in the game. He’ll get his head together, get his mojo back and master the market again. He just needs some luck. Then one day … his luck changes. And suddenly he has a choice.

It’s the wrong choice. To stay alive, Dan makes a deal with the devil. He has no idea what he is about to unleash on his life, himself and his family. Or how far he will go to find a way back.

The great Australian dream is slipping out of reach for Keira and her friends. No partner, no house, no kids. At 30-ahem, she is still languishing in a mould-filled share house, with an unexplained and ever-growing hole in the floorboards that threatens to consume her and her housemates.

Her part-time job as a nanny to a pair of atrocious twins – and her role as emotional support servant at the beck and call of their mother, Johanna – provides barely enough money for the G&Ts she finds necessary to get through her other job as a freelance copywriter – though it does allow her to steal a fancy avocado every now and then. Each day she can feel herself falling further and further behind.

When her best friend Dylan is able to buy an apartment with the help of his partner’s inheritance, Keira sees a way out. The bank of Mum and Dad. But what to do with parents who are in the rudest of health, and whose plans threaten to spend the only lifeline she has? From the lounge room of her rotting share house she hatches a deadly plan to speed up the process of wealth transfer.
