Allies become enemies in affairs of the heart ... It's 1925, and twenty-five-year-old Eliza Sinclair is determined not to be left 'on the shelf'. Inexperienced in romance, she decides to master the art. But finding love is proving harder than she imagined. That is, until ten thousand American sailors arrive on Melbourne's shores. Caught up in the excitement, Eliza enters a dance competition and is thrilled to find herself partnered with Seaman Wil Sanders. Wil is fun and lays on the charm, and his kisses make it clear that the contest isn't the only thing he wants to win. And if that's making Alex Heaton question his commitment to his bachelor lifestyle and his role as her honorary big brother, then she isn't complaining. Eliza finds herself caught in a tug of war between the two men. Navigating the battle for her heart and finding her happy-ever-after, will require Eliza to draw on all her newfound confidence and savoir faire. Praise for The Battle for Eliza "Passionately romantic. An engaging read that transports you to the 1920s." Courtney Guthrie "The writing flows and is so easy to read and draws you in immediately. I started the book on a Saturday afternoon and it was consumed within 24 hours. It was a step back in time, and as I read it I could imagine my parent's generation and their tales of dances and entertainment of that time. The importance of family and strong friendships. So many images floating through my mind as I immersed myself in the wonderful language describing places, people and the movement of dance. Hope there is a sequel of Eliza's next chapter and of Daniel and Bec!" Lynne Georgiadis
