Unlock the Secrets of Love in the Outback by Romona Hilliger

ROMONA HILLIGER  Author of Romantic Suspense, set in the untamed regions of Australia’s Northern Territory.  ——————– 

Hello to everyone First off, a little about, Romona At this point in time, I live in the southern states of Australia. We have all four seasons here and right now, it’s Spring.  In the Northern Territory of Australia, which is my home, there are only two seasons known as The Dry and The Wet.   

From a schoolteacher to a payroll manager, for one of Australia’s largest retail companies was a dramatic career-path change for me and which I enjoyed, until, another came along–Writing. So, how did that come about?

No. I haven’t been writing since I was six, or anything wonderful like that. My husband and I criss-cross the Outback of Australia, both with his work and on holidays.  Discovering the magnificence of wind-crafted outcrops of granite and sandstone, vast ochre plains stretching to eternity and the bush teeming with wildlife uniquely Australian, our interest escalated. We extended our trips into gold and gemstone-fossicking adventures and retracing tracks of explorers.  

The notes I kept translated into a series of travel articles for a magazine until, I realised what better backdrop than this sun-drenched wilderness for conjuring up stories of unique blend–love up against impossible odds. I undertook studies in creative writing, specialising in Romance, and set to work. Writing fulfils my most cherished dream, to breathe life, love, and emotion into the people in my imagination, mostly, derived from the men and women who dare to live out in the ‘never never’.

OTHER INTERESTS (Shared by my husband as well). Animal welfare. Both domestic and wildlife. I am a member of THE WILDLIFE WARRIORS. A STEVE IRWIN PROJECT 

A SHADOW FROM HIS PAST                  

contemporary  v. sensual 

Life hadn’t been easy for Brad Steele and he’d been forced to live on the edge until he was eighteen. Now twelve years on, a reclusive naturalist and wildlife photographer, Brad carves out a place in the raw rugged regions of Australia’s Northern Territory, helping to relocate marauding crocodiles and taking care of injured wildlife.

An injured bird brings Jodie Marshall into contact with Brad. His dark sensual good looks are the ultimate in a woman’s fantasy but any hopes the young English heiress, might have of touching the heart of the aloof hostile wildlife warrior are bleak indeed, until the night circumstance throws them together and into the firestorms of love and passion.

But Brad has a secret buried deep in his soul that forbids his loving her…The power of their love survives heartbreak, a jail sentence and poison pens but can it survive their worst nightmare — its evil meticulously crafted and now a reality?

Come, Love me Again   contemporary  v. sensual 

He snared her wrist in one powerful fist and pulled her to him.  Hunter Kincaid, the tall, striking, Australian cattle king still remembers, only too well, the girl who’d betrayed him in their youth, and he hates himself for still loving her…   “What do you want? Haven’t you done enough?” he hissed. Raw, untamed desires flaming through him and driven by naked longing, he’s but a step from taking her. “Don’t you know what I can do to you? What I want to do to you?” Torn by twelve years of remorse, the lovely young Becky, quivers at the very touch of him. She has returned from America and must tell him the truth — why she’d been forced to betray him. But the scars of betrayal burn deep in his soul and sex isn’t sufficient to expiate that pain – Hunter wants her to pay for past wounds. Let her suffer as he had. Her pain for his pain, her tears for his.
