About Ebony

Ebony lives in Melbourne, Australia and used to be a journalist at several suburban newspapers. Then she turned her hand to writing romance and hasn't looked back.

Her earlier novels lean heavily into what these days is called Romantasy. Think The Princess Bride or My Lady Jane, that sort of thing. Fun and frolics, a little magic and mayhem, with lashings of true love.

The Ondine series is available in ebook and paperback bundles at a special discount to website visitors.

The Bookshop Belles are here

A charming new series from award winning authors Catherine Bilson and Ebony Oaten. The Bookshop Belles follows the adventures of four sisters left to manage the business while their father is in France rescuing rare books.

You can purchase the ebook or paperback of book 1: Estelle's Ardent Admirer now, and we're confident you'll love the rest of the books in the series.

When her father departs for France in search of rare books, Estelle Baxter is left to manage Baxter’s Fine Books—and her younger sisters—in the bustling town of Hatfield. Practical, determined, and far too busy to entertain notions of marriage, Estelle is focused on keeping the bookshop afloat and her family’s reputation intact. But her orderly world is thrown into disarray when an infuriatingly charming stranger waltzes into her shop.

Felix Yates, the rakish grandson of a local baron, has returned from his Grand Tour with little interest in settling down—until he meets the spirited Miss Baxter. Intrigued by her wit, resilience, and no-nonsense attitude, Felix finds himself drawn to the beautiful woman who seems determined to resist him at every turn.

As rumours swirl about Estelle’s father’s safety and a meddling cousin threatens to take the shop, Estelle and Felix find their lives increasingly intertwined. But can a woman determined to protect her independence trust a man who always gets what he wants? And is Felix ready to prove he’s more than just a wealthy aristocrat with too much charm for his own good?

With family loyalty, financial woes, and a mischievous cat named Crafty complicating matters, Estelle must choose between guarding her heart and risking it all for the one man who might just be her perfect match.
