Unfortunately those books are only available in Australia and New Zealand, and the UK. I haven't heard from my US publisher that they are likely to publish those books at this stage. Fingers crossed that they do some time in the future!(less)

Fabulous full-cast audiobook. I definitely think the audio is the way to go with this one. Wuthering Heights reimagined in the world of competitive ice dancing, with plenty of passion, betrayal and secrets. A great read.

“she could make women feel stronger and bolder and more courageous, as they would need to be through these dark times.”
Natasha Lester, The Paris Seamstress

“She ran straight into Leo’s open arms, unable to stop the tears from falling, feeling at last defended, like a single musical note that had finally found the symphony to which it belonged.”
Natasha Lester, Her Mother's Secret

“For four years we spied and we worked damn hard and we saved people's lives and we made a difference and nobody cared too much that we were women. And then it all ended. Went backward, even.”
Natasha Lester, The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre
