In the heart of a political whirlwind, Camilla Nowak thrives on the adrenaline of her high-stakes job. Young, ambitious, and navigating the capital's power games, she's built a life of calculated risks and careful connections. But nothing could prepare her for the day Christian Holland, a ghost from her past, walks back into her world—naked in memory, heroic in reality.

Two years earlier, a steamy, impulsive night left Camilla reeling with guilt and desire. Now, fate throws them together again in the most unexpected place: the hallowed halls of national power. Christian, fresh from heroic exploits in East Timor, is no longer the carefree crooner of tunes; he's a decorated soldier, tanned, toned, and dangerously familiar. As their eyes lock, the air crackles with unspoken history and unresolved heat.

What begins as a polite reunion, spirals into a night of uninhibited passion. From a playful dinner to a sultry dance to old tunes, the chemistry they once shared reignites with a vengeance. But in the close-knit world of the political elite, secrets are currency, and a single misstep could unravel Camilla's carefully crafted career. As she and Christian navigate their rekindled desire, they must play a dangerous game of discretion, keeping their affair hidden from prying eyes.

The Other Woman: Welcome Home is a sizzling, stand-alone tale of lust, nostalgia, and the thrill of forbidden connections. JL Collins weaves a vivid portrait of the Australian capital, blending the pulse of political life with the raw intimacy of two souls colliding. Perfect for readers craving a quick, steamy escape with a distinctly Australian flavour, this first instalment in the Other Woman series will leave you humming Marvin Gaye and yearning for more.
