Elizabeth Bowen was one of the 20th century's most distinctive writers. An associate of the Bloomsbury Set, she was a keen observer of upper-middle-class life and relationships. Best known for her novels of the Anglo-Irish gentry and wartime London, her fiction displays recurring themes of loss, rootlessness and displacement. This collection contains five of Bowen's best-loved works, and hears from the author herself in three radio talks on the art of novel-writing.

Ana Belle never wanted anything more than to hang up her apron, jump on her Vespa, and ride off into the sunset, leaving Sugartown in the dust. Elijah Cade never wanted anything more than a hot meal, a side of hot arse, and a soft place to lay his head at night where he could forget about his past. But you know what they say about wanting: You always want what you can't have. Nineteen-year-old virgin Ana is about to discover that's not quite true because a six foot three, hotter than hell, tattooed Aussie sex god just rode into town.

Pepper Ryan grew up the troublesome, spoiled child of a rock god. With her less-than-stellar parentage and the bipolar disorder that has plagued her existence, to say this little firecracker is a handful would be the understatement of the century. Sammy Belle spent more than half his life saving Pepper. He'd been her strength, her sanity, and the protective brotherly figure she never wanted to have. They were never meant to be together. They gave in anyway.

Life in Sugartown hasn't always been easy, not for an ex-con like Elijah, and certainly not for Ana, who grew up desperate for a way out. Meeting Elijah changed all that; Elijah changed a lot of things. You'd think that after three years together and the worst behind them that life would be a walk in the park, but Sugartown's sexiest couple may be about to face their biggest obstacles yet. Between failed marriage proposals, a trampy ex-lover, and a tempting new biker, Sugartown is suddenly not so sweet.

Jackson Rowe tried filling the void his family left by drinking, screwing around, and leaving a string of heartbroken women in his wake. Moving back to Sugartown should have been easy, but he hadn't counted on the fact his sometimes attraction to Holly would still be alive and kicking - and he sure as hell hadn't counted on her being pregnant with another man's baby. They drive one another crazy, and yet they can't stay away.

Kate Ballantyne's life was cruising along very nicely. No highs. No lows. Just the way she liked it. She had a good job and a casual relationship. Then Patsy Maclean had a 60th birthday and Kate learned her entire family would be attending the party, including her younger daughter, Ashley. As an orphaned 10-year-old, Kate's young life had been turned upside down when she was sent to live with her aunt in the historic gold mining city of Charters Towers. For the quiet and lonely Kate, the extroverted Ashley Maclean had been her salvation.

Widow Rachel Weston's life is a constant juggle between raising her two children and managing her landscaping business. As a single mum she didn't need any drama upsetting her world. It's bad enough that she can't find suitable staff, but the latest gossip throws her into a panic. Quinn Farrelly, the Wild One, has returned. No one expected her to come home after her release from prison, but it seems she has. And she's even more attractive now.

Shann Delaney, singer, songwriter, and single mother, has struggled to get her life and her career on track, and now, everything is coming together for her. Ten years ago, she had left home after arguments with her father, and she'd never returned.

Riley James couldn't have loved her adoptive parents more if she had been their biological daughter. They had never hidden the fact that she was adopted, and as she got older, so grew her curiosity about the parents who gave her life. So with the blessing of her mother and father and dire warnings from her friend, Lisa, Riley sets out on a journey of discovery and travels south to Brisbane to find her birth mother. Maggie is thrilled to meet Riley, but her husband is overseas on business, and she wants to tell him about Riley first before telling the rest of her family.

To say Asha West's life was in something of a slump would be a fairly accurate description. Her job wasn't as satisfying as it had been, as she knows it should be, and then there was her failed relationship with her first love. What she desperately needed was a change of scene.

Life was all about forks in the road, Kat's best friend, Em, told her. And Kat knew she hadn't chosen wisely when it came to the forks in her road of life. It seemed each road had led to dismal failure. Her family. Her relationships. All failures. Kat didn't know why Em was still there, especially when Kat rarely took Em's advice. However, this time Kat had to admit, perhaps Em was right. Renovating the old house she'd inherited gave her a project. It would take her mind off her breakup with Shael, Em said. But going back, facing her past and her bad choices, would that solve anything?
