About this ebook

She’s hiding from heartache. He’s a hustler hiding more…

Floriculturist Jordi uses her shyness as a shield to keep everyone at a distance—except for family. And Luke. The sun-soaked, stunning Luke who hustles her for free flowers to feed his family’s pet water buffalo.

From a landmark family that lost its legacy, Luke aims for a new future by entering the country’s richest fishing competition, and he’s trying to sweet-talk Jordi to watch over his mischievous grandmother.

Yet the more time they spend together, the closer they become, as their buried desires ignite. But Luke is keeping a secret from Jordi that will crush her.

With a million dollars on the line, the fate of more than their hearts hangs in the balance…

Set in the stunning outback, this touching tale of friends, foes, and buffaloes shows how fate has a way of helping everyone find their version of happily ever after—no matter the cost.

If you enjoy swoon-worthy rural romances set in a small-town, with a touch of family drama, action and adventure, then you’ll love this latest stand-alone addition to the Elsie Creek series.

Ratings and reviews

THE ELSIE CREEK SERIES: BUFFALO DUST, #9 - This has been such an enjoyable, funny and entertaining series. Although I have not read many of these books, it is great to pick up a book and get lost in the pages and not feel lost or confused about mentions of previous books. This quickly read, fast paced book is filled with so much variety of goid story lines and wonderful characters, and no silly drama. Source: BookSprout. 5* The ART of DUST, #1 - What an entertaining story filled with fun, romance, family, community and adventures. Many lovely characters blended with well written story lines, good dialogues and plenty of ideas with a bit of sneaky, set in the outback of the Northern Territory. I enjoy reading the cannot put down books by this Aussie author. Source: My Kobo library. 5* DOCTORING DUST, #8 - Couldn't stop laughing nor could I put the book down. It is difficult to write reviews on this author since I want to write book reports. Plenty of action going on with our park rang

The ninth book in the Elsie Creek series. Floriculturist Jordi and Luke who is keeping secrets from her story. This is a story I would say keep the Kleenex near by. the story is well written with a very good storyline, Mel A Rowe brings her story to life it is almost like you are there seeing it happen. If you have been following this series, do not miss this book. I would recommend. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Jordi and Luke both have scars from a day that changed their lives. She can’t fight her secret attraction to him while not remembering he was the one who saved her. They end up spending time together because of his grandmother Esther who has made appearances in the previous books with her pet water buffalo Cecil. She causes several scary moments but then so do Jordi and Luke in the book. I enjoyed reading about the fishing competition, although the crocs would keep me away.
