Jealousy & A Jewelled Proposition
“I won’t make promises I can’t keep.”
Ever since their one night together, making love again to Rachel Kincaid was all Matt Hammond thought about. That and destroying the Blackstone diamond empire and avenging his family. Poised for a takeover, Matt cursed fate for bringing Rachel back now - as nanny to his motherless son. Nights with her in his house tortured him, like the Blackstones did. Matt was possessed by revenge and obsessed by a woman. The billionaire always got what he wanted, but now did he want sweet revenge… or sweet Rachel’s love?

~ 4 stars from RT Book Reviews
Many years ago I watched The Butterfly Effect. The escalating ramifications of a change or decision made by one person in one area of life, and their ongoing effects, were mind boggling - no less mind boggling than in the Diamonds Down Under continuity. From the beginning, through to the end, decisions and changes effected major changes in the lives of everyone involved - for the books and for the authors J. Comprehending the enormity of those changes and bringing them to you, our readers, has been an amazing challenge and an incredibly rewarding one at the same time.
Much of the information gleaned for the continuity has come from professionals in many fields and I’ve been blown away by the generosity of experts from the NSW Water Police to a forensic scientist in Canberra to a diamond expert in Sydney and a DNA lab in Auckland. The details in our stories are richer for the fabulous input these people had and their eagerness to answer my questions. It’s amazing what you learn on a journey like bringing the Diamonds Down Under continuity to its conclusion.
You learn so much about people in this business, no less so when you’re working closely with other authors on a communal dream. In the days and months of work we put into the creation and birth of Diamonds Down Under our relationship was much a like a marriage - from the heady excitement of gathering the six authors and developing the continuity idea through to the ups and downs and roundabouts of working out individual story tracks and threading the scandals and revelations through each book without driving one another completely nuts. Personally, I’ve been enriched by the experience and know that I have a new respect for my fellow authors.
It has been an honour to bring the continuity, and the mysteries therein, to a close with Matt and Rachel’s story.
