Finders Keepers (Sonia Parin) Books in Order

Finders Keepers is Sonia Parin's small-town contemporary romance series, set in and around Eden, Australia. The available story, Bachelor Undone, returns to the same community that appears in her A Town Named Eden books, where the local pub, family connections, and town gossip can make private feelings very hard to keep private.

At the center of Bachelor Undone is Markus Faydon, co-owner of Eden's only pub, The Gloriana. Markus has spent months avoiding dating, but the arrival of Hannah, the pub's chef, makes his carefully controlled plan difficult to maintain. Everybody around him seems to have an opinion about what he should do next.

That is one of the pleasures of this setting.

Eden is a place where work, family, friendship, and romance overlap. A pub is not just a business. It is a meeting place, a source of news, and a reliable spot for other people's advice. The supporting cast adds a comic edge, especially when a character is trying very hard not to reveal what they want.

The story is focused on romantic uncertainty rather than murder. Markus must decide whether caution is worth the cost of missing a chance at happiness, while Hannah has her own reasons for keeping things complicated. The tension comes from the gap between what the characters say, what the people around them notice, and what they are willing to risk.

The tone is warm, conversational, and lightly mischievous. Readers can expect small-town dynamics, food, busy working lives, awkward attraction, and a cast who are rarely inclined to mind their own business. It is a short, approachable entry for readers who want a romance set in Parin's Eden world.

Begin with Bachelor Undone. It works as a complete story and offers a different angle on a town where every new relationship quickly becomes community news.
