Expanded Synopsis

Yaroomba is a poignant romance novel from Romance Blooming that explores how love can arrive quietly, fiercely, and when it is least expected. In the wake of her husband’s death, Adeline Acton returns to her childhood home in Mount Coolum, seeking solace in familiar shores and the steady rhythm of the sea. What she finds instead is a life demanding courage, clarity, and the willingness to love again.

Addie’s homecoming is complicated by her mother’s unwavering battle to protect the fragile turtle population of Yaroomba Beach from a council-backed coastal development. Drawn into the fight, Addie is forced to confront not only environmental injustice but the unresolved emotions she left behind when she fled her past.

It is here that she meets Jackson Parker, an American marine biologist whose dedication to the turtles mirrors his stubborn intensity. Their initial clashes are sharp and unrelenting, yet beneath the friction lies a connection neither can deny. As tension simmers, discord slowly transforms into something far more dangerous—desire.

At the same time, Addie is swept into the orbit of Ethan Lloyd, a charismatic Englishman whose effortless charm and magnetic presence awaken a passion she thought she had lost forever. With Ethan, the world feels lighter, freer, and intoxicatingly alive.

Caught between two men—one steady and principled, the other seductive and thrilling—Addie must navigate a love triangle that forces her to examine who she is now, not who she once was. As past grief collides with present longing, Yaroomba becomes a modern romance story about choosing between safety and risk, loyalty and desire, memory and possibility.

Romance Blooming is known for romance stories that honour emotional truth, and Yaroomba is no exception. Set against the pristine coastline of Queensland, this romantic fiction weaves together themes of healing, environmental activism, family bonds, and the courage it takes to claim happiness after loss.

For readers who love emotionally rich romance novels with strong settings and complex relationships, Yaroomba offers a love story as unpredictable and profound as the ocean itself.
