The Longest Night
(2025)A collection of stories by Esme Brett, Courtney Clark Michaels and Stephanie Ruth
Three Kiwi novellas, all taking place in winter, at the same chateau, on the longest night of the year.
In Storm Warning: Storm Erasmus has made a modelling career by courting controversy, but when she files a harassment lawsuit against a film industry bigwig, her professional reputation isn’t all that’s in danger – someone is threatening her life. For security specialist Liam Barlow, guarding Storm’s body is no hardship, but pretending to be her fake boyfriend is making… other things… very hard indeed.
In Winter is Coming: Reality TV bombshell Cassie Harris is every man’s fantasy. But when her show boyfriend proves himself to be a jerk and she gets lost on a mountainside in a snowstorm—what’s a girl to do but take cover at the surly groundswoman’s cottage. Ro doesn’t like strangers but this pretty chatterbox is awaking familiar feelings, and things get spicy in the one available bed.
In Anti-Freeze: Solo-mum Amy-Marie Stirling has turned a new leaf and is doing her son’s rugby coach Steve a huge favour by attending a mid-winter charity gala as the silver fox’s plus-one. But suddenly this all-expenses-paid trip to TaupÅ is looking like a who’s who of Marie’s past misdemeanours, and the weather is not playing ball for a quick escape.
