As a vulnerable seventeen-year-old, Beth Paterson gave a fellow student private tutoring. She didn't expect to fall deeply in love with him and have her life changed forever in just a couple of months. And she didn't expect him to vanish without even saying goodbye. Now an accomplished businesswoman and doctor, Beth's life is thrown into turmoil when Charlie Campbell comes back to town to help his family. He's a big star on the alternative rock scene these days – but he remembers Beth and seems just as mad at her as she is at him. Embroiled in the community's struggle, Beth can't help but cross paths with Charlie any more than she can fight the resurgence of that wild attraction between them. But Beth Paterson is no dummy – there's no way Charlie Campbell is ever getting back inside her heart…
Freya 'Free' Paterson has finally come back home. She's landed the job of her dreams working on an art project with the local school, but she hadn't planned on meeting the man of her dreams as well. With his irresistible Irish accent, Constable Finn Kelly is everything Free wants – genuine, kind...and handsome as hell. He's also everything Free isn't – stable and dependable. Yet despite the passion simmering between them, he just wants to be friends. What is he trying to hide? As Free throws herself into the challenges of her new job, fending off the unwelcome advances of a colleague and helping to save her beloved Herne River, Finn won't stay out of her way, or out of her heart. But just when she needs him the most, will Finn reveal his true colours?
They were best friends who never meant to fall in love - but for one of them, it was already too late. Willow 'Banjo' Paterson and Tom Forrest were raised on neighbouring cattle stations in the heart of the Kimberley. But as young adults, something came between them that Willow cannot forget. Now ten years have passed since she's spoken to Tom. When her father falls ill, Willow is called home to run the family property - but her vision for a sustainable organic cattle station is proving hard to achieve. She needs Tom's help, but is it too late to make amends? Tom's heartfelt, decade-old letters remain unopened, and Willow must find the courage to finally read them.
