Meet The Rose
Welcome to The Rose, where TV love can become reality.
With a sister like Casey’s, who needs a dating service? No one else would drop her into the hottest reality TV romance show, vying with twenty-four other women for one man’s attention.
That man – pilot to the stars, self-confessed foodie and rugby aficionado, 33-year-old Taylor Montgomery.
And Casey isn’t your average reality TV contestant. She’s a headstrong project engineer who earns a living in steel-toed boots and high-visibility work wear; she doesn’t do heels and handbags. So, will being who she really is, be her downfall in trying to catch Taylor’s attention? Or her inability to get vulnerable?
Maybe just, maybe, she’s exactly the kind of woman Taylor’s looking for.
If Casey can manage to stomach the cameras and the isolation long enough to make an impression, she might be in with a chance at realising her dreams of a future.
Is it possible to fall in love for real on a TV show?

Meet The Author...
Zoe Shackleton
Zoe Shackleton is an author with a passion for writing clean, contemporary, adventure romance with a twist! She loves creating new characters and learning about their struggles and the way different relationships have an effect on our lives. As a kid, she was conjuring tales of all kinds in the imaginary world she lived in for endless hours before she knew what a writer was. This was the foundation of the storyteller and writer she became after tragedy rocked her family. As in the case of most difficult times, there was a silver lining, and for Zoe, while the grief of death lurked, she had the gift of time to think and to write, something she had never had before. From then on, she’s had to fight to continue to find time for writing while life rushes by.
Zoe lives in a fantastic country town in the gorgeous Western Australian outback surrounded by red dirt and gum trees. She has a deep passion for life, people and adventure and loves travelling to all kinds of places near and far from home, and talking to people from all walks of life to hear their many wonderful stories.
