Always You

Arrochar Adair has loved her brother's ex-bodyguard and best friend, Mac Galbraith, for years. Once upon a time, she was too young for him, but now that she's a mature woman in her thirties, Arro can see no issue with their difference in age. Yet something deeper, a problem much more difficult to surmount, is keeping them apart. Mac Galbraith remembers clearly the night Arro became everything to him, no longer just his best friend and boss's younger sister. However, having made many mistakes over the years, there is one mistake Mac is determined not to make: to believe that he is worthy of Arrochar Adair. Allowing them to grow closer during his daughter, Robyn's, return has proven his undoing. And when Arro forces the subject of their relationship, his response pushes her away. He just never meant for it to destroy them completely. Devastated by Mac's final rejection, Arro is determined to move on without him in her life, though he seems intent on staying put. And when the Adair family face a new threat, one that may have ties to Mac's past, Arro can't seem to be rid of the man. In fact, Mac will do anything to protect her. But with so much hurt between them, will Arro let Mac close enough to guard her from their enemy... before it's too late?

'I'm not going to tell you that everything happens for a reason. Those words are cold comfort in any traumatic moment. This is what I will say, though: I see you. I hear you. I am with you.' Growing up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Chloe Chapman thought her life would unfold close to home, surrounded by childhood friends and familiar shores. But on a spontaneous girls' trip to Bali, she met pro-surfer Paul Fisher - and everything changed. The connection was instant, and together they embarked on a whirlwind life of love, travel and building their dream careers. As Paul's success as DJ Fisher exploded, life looked golden. However, behind the scenes, Chloe carried a quiet ache: all she ever wanted was to be a mum. But her journey to motherhood was anything but smooth - it was a rollercoaster of juggling life on tour with fertility struggles and heartbreak. Through it all, she found power in vulnerability, purpose in storytelling, and strength in community, which she now shares through her Darling, Shine! podcast and beyond. Always You is more than a memoir - it's the handbook Chloe wishes she had to help her heal. Alongside her honest, heartfelt story are breakout sections filled with guidance, reflections, and tools for anyone navigating fertility, grief or uncertainty. Whether you're in the depths of trying to conceive, supporting someone who is or simply searching for hope - this book is for you. Because one day, you'll look back and whisper to the one who made it all worthwhile . . . It was always you.

This could ruin everything.I was born broken, with a past full of ugly secrets and a brother doing life in prison.Not that you'd know it if you read the tabloids. According to them I'm the rock-solid guitarist for the biggest band in the world. I'm the dependable one. The steady one. The anchor.They don't know the truth. No one knows who I am underneath, once the music is over and the lights are off. No one but Darcy.She's my best friend. She's my f*cking savior, my light in the dark, beautiful as hell and talented as f*ck and every bit as broken as me.And I f*cking yearn for her. I have for years. I see the way she looks at me, what's behind her eyes. I know what she thinks about alone, in the dark, because how could I not know.It's getting worse. Every second, every heartbeat, every moment we spend together and every secret we share makes me want her more. Even though I know that one kiss could ruin everything we have, I need her.But to get her? I'll risk everything I've got.
