A DOCTOR WITH DRAMAS RESCUES A RANGER WHO SAVES HIM

Trapped in a tiny outback hospital, counting down the days for his contract to expire, Doctor Stewart Mannen lives for his job. Until he rescues local park ranger, Alice—who goes from stranger, to patient, to roommate in a matter of hours!

Socially awkward bookworm Alice is seen as the bad guy in this small town full of cowboys. She keeps away from everyone—except when it comes to Stewart.

He says they’re just friends.

She hopes they’ll be more than that.

Until a shocking set of events puts their lives in peril. Who will be left standing on this trail of heart-breaking challenges that dares to threaten everything …

Strap on a seatbelt for an outback adventure with this close proximity, opposites attract, rural romance, as we return to the small town of Elsie Creek, a place where every heart matters.

Are you ready to Escape to a HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
