The Priceless Star: An emotional, opposites attract, second chance, rich/poor steamy small town romance
About this ebook
Forgotten treasures … a perilous ransom … shattered hopes
She’s chasing answers long buried since the war.
He’s content with a steady working life. Until he’s not…
Sent to Far North Queensland to research a wartime mystery, Lucia Levorico welcomes the chance to escape the tedium of her privileged life. She finds herself in the heart of outback Queensland, invited by friends to a community celebration.
Reserved and hardworking, Theo Mather is at ease with his private, low-key life. After a long shift on the job, there’s nothing a quiet drink can’t fix —until the night he meets Lucia. Delicate, fair-haired, with skin like silk, she’s the last person he expects to meet under a star-studded outback sky, where live music drifts through the air and the beers flow freely.
The chemistry ignites with the slightest touch, their first kiss stirring something deep and undeniable—until a sudden goodbye shatters any hopes.
A worksite tragedy rocks Theo’s world, while a ruthless ransom targeting Lucia’s wealth will test the strength of even the closest of bonds. Their only reprieve will come from sharing the unravelling of a wartime mystery and its priceless treasure.
Unless they’re willing to fight for what they have.

About the author
As a contemporary romance author, Frances loves nothing more than losing herself in a good romance. She's all about helping you forget the housework, or the bus to work you're going to miss, if you don't put the book down now!
She's devoted to giving her readers an emotional, passionate, possibly some ugly-cry, fairly steamy love story, that'll melt your heart and have you fighting for the happy ending right until the end.
Frances sets her books in North Queensland. She makes no excuses if some of her settings include amazing lakes and waterfalls, stunning views from tops of mountains, spectacular outback scenes, or crystal-clear creeks shadowed by tropical rainforest.
When she isn't writing, Frances is climbing mountains, searching for waterfalls and swimming across lakes. She loves to exercise, would prefer it if someone else cooked dinner every night, and never notices dust on the furniture.
She lives with her husband in tropical Far North Queensland, Australia, and uses her great baking skills to tempt her family to visit home as often as they can.
