Trust no one. Risk everything. Choose yours.
What would you do if a single phone call revealed that almost everything you believed about your life was incomplete?
Grant has built the kind of life many people would recognise: a loving husband, two daughters, a career, plans for the future and dreams of eventually seeing more of the world. Then an unexpected call from Germany changes everything.
Grant discovers that he was adopted — and that his biological family belongs to an extraordinarily wealthy European banking and industrial dynasty. With the death of an heiress he never knew, Grant suddenly finds himself inheriting a fortune, a powerful international business empire and a family legacy stretching far beyond anything he could have imagined.
But extraordinary wealth comes with extraordinary consequences.
Within days, the comfortable Australian life Grant and his husband Jackson once knew is replaced by private aircraft, European estates, boardrooms, security teams and a world where immense influence can attract equally immense danger. Hostile business interests, bitter family secrets, legal battles and threats against those Grant loves make it clear that his inheritance has given him far more than money.
It has made him a target.
As Grant attempts to transform the empire he has inherited and use his wealth to create something meaningful, he and Jackson are drawn into an increasingly unpredictable life spanning Australia, Europe, America and beyond. Assassination attempts, kidnapping, violence and shocking discoveries test their family, their friendships and the limits of what they are prepared to do to protect one another.
Yet at its heart, A Life Less Than Ordinary is a story about people.
It is about Grant and Jackson — two men whose marriage must somehow remain their safe place while everything around them changes. It is about their children, the family they choose, the people who become fiercely loyal to them and the complicated question of whether enormous wealth changes who you are or simply reveals who you have always been.
Warm, provocative, romantic and unapologetically larger than life, A Life Less Than Ordinary — Book One blends family drama, LGBTQ+ romance, international intrigue, danger, luxury and humour into an epic story about love, loyalty and the unexpected consequences of being given the opportunity to live a life you never thought possible.
