In Sydney’s luxury property world, presentation is everything. Evie Hartley knows how to handle demanding vendors, immaculate listings and the expectations that come with working at her family’s agency, Hartcliff Homes. Keeping her private life equally presentable is another matter.

When council worker Tristan Davidson pushes her out of the path of a car, a thank-you meal turns into flirtation. Their attraction is immediate, and increasingly private encounters soon become impossible to fit neatly into Evie’s carefully managed life.

Beneath the banter and explicit heat, their relationship asks harder questions about access, trust and the difference between being loved and being controlled. Keys become an intimate motif, while an abusive former partner, blackmail, addiction and secrecy threaten far more than appearances.

Moving between Sydney and the South Coast, Ideally Positioned follows two people discovering that chemistry can open a door, but building a shared life requires much more. 

A contemporary Australian romance for adults, with sharp humour, consensual kink, darker emotional conflict and a happy romantic resolution.
