She ran away when younger. Now, she returns to the only place that ever felt like home.

But for how long…

At the request of her unwell uncle, Kat is back in Elsie Creek, doing her best to forget the past while focusing on her family’s unknown future.

Kyle is about to propose to another woman when his ex-muse, Kat, rolls into his workshop seeking his help.

For Kat, Kyle was her best friend—her first and only love. But his rejection tore her heart apart.

Kyle’s scars still sting over Kat’s desertion—especially when he’d needed her the most.

Yet, these long-lost soulmates are compelled to team up for a man they both care for. But can they work together without re-igniting that spark shared all those summers ago?

In this second-chance rural romance, discover the authentic essence of the rugged and romantic Northern Territory outback in this bestselling small-town series of Elsie Creek.
