What if the person who is so, so, so wrong for you is really so, so, so right, but you're too afraid to give love a chance?

Last Christmas, art therapist Issy Riley was jilted by her fiancé. This Christmas she's running away. A week with a client on his private Fijian island promises to save her from cheating men and the London festive season. But when the client turns out to be a gorgeous and magnetic Italian billionaire, he threatens her resolve to never again trust her heart to the wrong man.

Milan fashion house leader and avowed bachelor Massimiliano Balforni has no intention of taking a vacation, despite his sister's insistence that he subject himself to an art therapy retreat following a minor heart attack. With an important collection due, he intends to fire his therapist and work, instead. But the determined and striking Issy gives his heart palpitations of a far more dangerous kind.

The one thing Max and Issy agree on: they are as wrong for each other as wrong gets. He's a workaholic playboy who believes emotion is a weakness. She's a romantic who yearns for a happily ever after.

As the tropical heat soars, they discover that in this battle between work and play, resistance only fuels attraction-and sometimes two wrongs make a very passionate right.

Set in two beautiful paradises-Milano, Italy and the tropical Pacific islands of Fiji.

Praise for Book One in the Passion Down Under series-Married by Christmas "Mollie Mathews has created an instantly gripping dynamic between Issy and Massimilliano that beautifully blends their animosity and their undeniable attraction, making the tension soar." Laura, Harlequin Mills and Boon

"I really enjoy Mollie's style of writing - it's in the 21st century and relates to every woman who has been trashed by a bloke. The abandonment issues experienced by Max are also so relevant to our current world, so many have been emotionally stunted or abandoned. This is a story that resonates with me and I could not put it down. Mollie is just such a good writer with enormous appeal in her story - an excellent read on a rainy day." Rae Waterhouse

"I couldn't get away for a holiday this year but was lucky enough to stumble across Mollie Mathews book Married by Christmas. With inviting backdrops of Italy and Fiji to set the scene and passionate but angst ridden leading characters, it makes the perfect holiday reading." Laura Virgo

"Beautiful. Resonated in my soul, gives me hope that I will meet my Prince one day and he will love me for who I am." Amazon Review

"A gorgeous escapist read. Loved the flirty spark between Max and Issy, and as for the location ... sigh ... I wanna be there. Will definitely be looking out for other books by this author. Recommended." Amazon Review

What a fantastic romance. They seem to be opposites. But they really share a similar past. Shes an art therapist and he's a designing mogul . But a week at a private resort in Fiji exposes their hearts and their live. I loved the story, characters and now I want to go to Fiji.

Issy and Max could not be further from compatible - or could they? He's a multimillionaire fashion designer and she barely makes ends meet as an art therapist. When they are thrown together for a week all kinds of things happen! Will they ever find out if a tiny spark can happen amid all of the chaos? You will need to read this wonderful story by Mollie Mathews to find out! :)

Delightful Down Under Tale

9 August 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

What happens when a burned out billionaire fashion designer gets matched with an art therapist? We find out with Max and Issy. Type A Max meets an intense, heart-hardened Issy and the fun begins. Max is so worn out that he can't design well anymore. Issy has been burned too many times in the romance department. There is heat (lots of heat) that gets tamped down most of the time. But I really have trouble putting the book down. I want to see where the story goes next. I enjoyed the twists and turns as they come to terms with the care for each other. I love the setting in Fiji and learned more about the beautiful islands and the people's culture. This is a great start to the series. I also commend the superior editing; it makes reading so much more pleasant to not have editing distractions. I really loved it. I received an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
