"Melanie Milburne’s latest Modern Romance, His Poor Little Rich Girl, is a fiery tale of old scores, bitter revenge and passionate desire."
Rachel McCulloch had once been the darling of the Australian social scene. Poised, elegant and breathtakingly beautiful – not to mention extremely rich – Rachel McCulloch had the world at her feet. Men constantly clamoured for her attention, but there was only man whom Rachel had been interested in: her father’s gardener, Alessandro. Alessandro was as far removed from her elite world as it was possible to get. Whilst Rachel’s father was one of the richest men in Australia who could give her anything she wanted, Alessandro was born in the gutter and was working as hard as he could to escape the fate which had condemned his mother to an early grave. Alessandro had big dreams and even bigger ambitions.

A big year ahead
I am really looking forward to this year ahead. I love the start of the year when ideas and inspiration is fresh in my mind. I think this year is going to be full one. Last year was highlighted by my RBY win and my trip to Hollywood. Who knows what this year will bring? Isn't that the thrill of life? Not knowing what's ahead but keeping positive and focussed on your goals. Well, that's my approach, anyway!
I am excited about my Presents duo and the Sydney Harbour medical continuity as well as the medical I am currently writing. I have a lot of ideas for another Presents series so all I need now is the time and space to write.
I am looking forward to going to RWA in Anaheim as well as a trip to London. I desperately want to meet my new editor face to face. But most of all I am looking forward to digging deeper and deeper into my writing to bring my readers the sorts of stories that stay with them.
warmest wishes,
Melanie Milburne
