When Patience Cartwright is stranded in her home town, the last thing she expects is a second chance at love. . . Fiercely independent naval officer, Patience Cartwright has never had a place to call home, but she knows where she doesn' t belong. After an unhappy childhood and a badly broken heart, she' ll never return to the country. But to save her career, Patience is forced to accept a secondment - to an environmental team working near the town where she grew up. There she encounters once more the infuriatingly attractive biologist Hugo Halstead - the very man she' s sworn never to forgive. Given their history, Hugo, as self-assured and honest as Patience is secretive and self-contained, has vowed never to trust her again, but that doesn' t stop him feeling just as helplessly drawn to her complicated mix of courage and fragility as he ever was. As Patience recuperates from a life-threatening illness in the small country town of Horseshoe Hill, she realises the beauty of the landscape and close-knit community promise something very different to the future she' s mapped out. But could the secrets she keeps and the shadows of her past, send her adrift all over again? PRAISE FOR PENELOPE JANU' A rural story that has it all . . . simmering romance [. . . ], a complex heroine and a swoon-worthy hero. What' s not to love? ' Karly Lane, bestselling Australian author
Penelope Janu lives on the coast in northern Sydney with a distracting husband, a very large dog and, now they' re fully grown, six delightful children who come and go. Penelope has a passion for creating stories that explore social and environmental issues, but her novels are fundamentally a celebration of Australian characters and communities. Her first novel, In at the Deep End, came out in 2017, followed by On the Right Track, On the Same Page, Up on Horseshoe Hill, Starting from Scratch and Clouds on the Horizon as well as a novella, The Six Rules of Christmas. Penelope enjoys riding horses, exploring the Australian countryside and dreaming up challenging hiking adventures. Nothing makes her happier as a writer than readers falling in love with her clever, complex and adventurous heroines and heroes. She loves to hear from readers, and can be contacted at www. penelopejanu. com.
