Hidden Gem (Love New Zealand #2)
Enni Amanda

Nearly 40, burnt by divorce and newly diagnosed with chronic illness, Marnie has resigned herself to a lifetime of loneliness. Tea. Blankets. A remote cabin. The last thing on her mind is a whirlwind love affair amidst a political scandal.
Rising political superstar Jason is on a mission to fix New Zealand's housing crisis. If only he could sleep. Haunted by guilt, he stares at the ceiling every night, his goals slipping away with his health and sanity. Until hope enters his life in the shape of a woman. She seems to remedy everything – his insomnia, career … and libido.
Then she vanishes.
Jason is prepared to scour New Zealand to find her. But as he falls for the woman of his dreams (pun intended), he discovers how much really stands in the way of their happily ever after.
Tough questions about ageing, illness and self-worth are examined in this steamy romantic comedy that will leave you with a warm glow.
