This is a lovely romance story with a fabulous setting my home town of Sydney mainly at Bondi Beach and here we meet jewellery designer Stella Rhys and handsome jewellery store owner James Huntley their first meeting does not go well but there is a spark.
Stella has left Perth Western Australia and her boss Damian she is finally over the way she was treated and plans on starting her own jewellery design business it has been a dream for many years, she moves in with her sister and her family and puts a lot of work and money into starting off, but with her stall across the road from the famous Huntley House of Jewells this may not go well but Stella shows strength and determination.
James is the third generation to run the family business and things are not going as well as they should be and a PR stunt goes horribly wrong when a new stall owner is in the way and she has no intentions of moving James is impressed and it appears that there might be a bit of tension between them.
It is not long before James sees how good Stella is at her designing but she is a hard person to convince that he is trying to help after what she has been through, but he really wants to get to know her so he convinces her to take a drive to the country which leads to a lot of opening up and a lovely sensual evening but still Stella is a hard lady to please she is determined to prove she doesn't need a man. I loved James he is a gorgeous hero Stella was a bit hard at times but love will win through for a beautiful HEA. There are lots of lovely jewellery and gem stones in this story and who doesn’t love a diamond. I look forward to book two and this is a romance that I am sure will make readers smile.
