A serious small-town cop. An off-limits stranger. And a treasure hunt that threatens to tear their town apart…

Marcus is a man who lives in a world of rules. One of them is to never get romantically involved with anyone who could affect his job. But when the town’s hermit mysteriously passes, a stunning stranger arrives, bringing trouble of a different kind…

Wren is searching for answers, trying to decipher the cryptic clues left by the last member of her infamous family. Making it the wrong time for her to fall for the big and beautiful detective sergeant.

Trying to keep their relationship strictly professional only fuels their attraction because they’ve never felt more at home—or more like themselves—than when they’re in each other’s arms.

But when a grave family secret is unearthed, all hope of a future together takes a dramatic and deadly turn…

Get set for a thrilling romantic adventure through the extraordinary Northern Territory outback in this latest instalment in the international bestselling series, which you can enjoy as a standalone story.
