Mistress & a Million Dollars by Maxine Sullivan

SYDNEY’S SCENE

The world has witnessed everything from the sublime to the ridiculous while watching the decades-old feud between the world’s richest gem dealers, the Blackstones, and the Hammonds. But yesterday’s scene tops even that. Blackstones’ exclusive supermodel, Briana Davenport – the “Face of Blackstone” – was seen on the arm of none other than supposed enemy Jarrod Hammond.

The two were spotted together at the roulette table in the Crown Casino last week, and yesterday at the Melbourne Grand Prix. “They looked to be a lot more than friends,” said one attentive attendee. According to an inside source, Davenport’s contract with Blackstones is soon to be up for renewal. Locking lips with a Hammond may not be Davenport’s best move to ensure longevity with the diamond moguls. Then again, she may not care, if the consolation prize is the sexy Melbourne millionaire. One thing’s for sure: at Blackstones, the flawless diamonds may be costly, but the family high jinks are priceless.

Satin & a Scandalous Affair by Jan Colley

SYDNEY’S SCENE

In the decades-old feud between the world’s richest gem dealers, the Blackstones and the Hammonds, no one and nowhere is off limits. Not even Danielle Hammond, the up-and-coming jewellery designer who thought she’d escaped family high jinks up north in the Port Douglas tropics.

The flamboyant Dani has been hired by broker Quinn Everard to design for him – the same man who some time ago nearly destroyed her fledgling career with his caustic critique of her work. What would make the colourful Ms Hammond agree to that unique assignment? And just who is Quinn’s mysterious client?

The Blackstones and Hammonds, no strangers to rumours, are once again the topic of water-cooler conversation as rumours abound that the missing son of recently deceased founder Howard Blackstone may indeed have been located.

Before his death, Howard – dubbed “the man people love to hate” – left his billion-dollar diamond firm to the missing son, James, who was kidnapped over thirty years ago. Tempers are high at Blackstone’s Pitt Street offices – where the diamonds are rare, but the drama is rampant!
