One gourmet party. Six potential couples. The taste of love? Nico De Luca has been doing his best to keep his family together and off the street since he was sixteen. Everyone thinks he's doing such a good thing, but they never care about the cost to him. With his stepfather fresh out of jail ... again ... trouble is brewing. Coming home after travelling is always bittersweet for Jade Russell. She loves seeing her sister and friends, but her parents have made it very clear she's not welcome. Christmas is full of fake happiness and spending money on junk people don't want. She sees it in the parents' eyes in her job as an elf taking photos with Santa. When Nico meets Jade in her elf uniform, he is enchanted. When they meet again at a Rainbow Cove Christmas lunch, he realises Jade is out of his league. She knows what she's doing with her life. She has a life. Following Jade makes stepping off the path easy and, before he knows it, freedom is within Nico's grasp. But if he leaves, he can never come back ...

Is the truth worth dying for? TV biologist, Jasmine Heydon, escaped Bitterwood once. She was 16 and run out of town by the cops for the crime of being born on the wrong side of the tracks. Ten years later, she's changed a lot but Bitterwood hasn't. The town's only claim to fame is the legend of the River Man, a murderous creature who first killed a century ago. Back in town to film a show about the River Man, Jasmine plans to put the mystery to rest once and for all. Bitterwood's favourite son, Gil Easton, has never forgotten Jasmine, and he's never forgiven his father, the chief of police, for running her off. But now Jasmine is back, stirring things up. This time, Gil is determined to stand by her even when the locals want her silenced. As Gil works to unearth the truth, Jasmine tries to understand her own childhood sighting of the monster. As the threats escalate, the search for the truth grows dangerous ... because the River Man is killing again.
