The Paradise Pact

The Paradise Pact by Anita Heiss is a warm, witty contemporary romance about friendship, fresh starts and letting yourself be looked after for a change. Abbey’s juggling a growing business, a bruising break-up and the constant buzz of family life, so when her two tiddas propose taking their annual girls’ trip all the way to Hawai‘i, she’s in.

Before they land, Abbey, Stevie and Caitlin make a simple pact: lean into sunsets, laughter and a little indulgence—plus train for a half marathon while they’re at it. It’s meant to be a no-drama reset, until Abbey meets Kaleo and her carefully planned escape starts to feel like something more.

Perfect for readers who love feel-good Australian fiction, holiday romance, strong female friendships and stories about dignified midlife reinvention in a Hawai‘i setting.

Add it to your basket and let Abbey’s getaway pull you into paradise.
