Sam's life plans were burned up by an exploding Bushmaster and now he and the rest of his fire team need new careers.  He plans to make a success of guarding a TV studio in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, and create jobs for his army mates or die trying.  (Friends!  In Australia, mates are friends.)  In the meantime he’s going to make up for thirteen years lost to the army and grab the nearest available woman and start a family with her.

He should be able to find a woman who will accept him.  He's fit, he's hardworking, he's good in bed.  All right, he's got a scar instead of an eyebrow, but if a woman will just give Sam a chance to prove himself, he will do what it takes to make her happy.

Katie gets up at four a.m. every day to start cooking for the TV studio. She leaves home when her mother arrives to care for her infant sons and doesn’t get back till late afternoon.

Sam wants a woman just like Katie. She’s kind and hard-working and loyal to her husband. She’s a working mother who misses her children. She even likes Sam. Sam will do everything he can to help her. To him, she is the perfect woman.

Quinn is a major player in Aussie Guards #1: Arrival. Well, she considers herself to be a major player. Both of Quinn’s parents have remarried and are not interested in supporting her any more. Quinn is determined to achieve fame so she can show the world she is wanted, and to accrue riches so she will never be insecure again.

Originally from Canada, Quinn flew to Australia to get work in the film industry. She has obtained a position at a TV studio, and she plans to save enough money to make a short art film which will win her awards and attention.

Earning money is slow going, so when she meets the new security contractor she is struck by the idea she might be able to persuade him to fund her film. And if she can’t persuade him by fair means… Well, who said life was fair?

Sadie exudes physical energy, emotional energy, sexual energy... You name it, Sadie is it. She’s unsteerable and unstoppable.

Sadie has a man in her sights.

No, it’s not Sam.  It’s James, the skinny nerdy 3D artist at the TV studio where she works.  Sadie goes all out (of course) to get him.  But despite her best efforts, James rejects Sadie.

Sam makes the tactical error of being kind to Sadie and trying to advise her when she is feeling most vulnerable. This gives Sadie an idea!  Sam is a man. He knows what men like.  He can show Sadie how to attract James...

And Sadie doesn’t take no for an answer.
