About this ebook
An intoxicating outback romance - set in Victoria and Queensland - that is brimming with the energy and vitality of country life and the Australian bush.
Bella Vermaelon and her best friend Patty are two fun-loving country girls bonded in a sisterhood no blood tie could ever beat.
Now they are coming to the end of a road trip which has taken them from their family farms in the rugged Victorian high country to the red dust of the Queensland outback. For almost a year they have mustered on cattle stations, cooked for weary stockmen, played hard at rodeos and outback parties, and danced through life like a pair of wild tumbleweeds.
And with the arrival of Patty's brother Will and Bella's cousin Macca, it seems love is on the horizon too ...
Then a devastating tragedy strikes, and Bella's world is changed for ever.
So she runs - from the only life she has ever known. But can she really turn her back on the man she loves? Or on the land that runs deep in her blood?
