What to expect
When Ella returns to the outback town of Matfield, she’s content to slip back into the quiet rhythm of the family’s produce store and leave the noise of the city behind. The red dust, the slow sunsets, and the familiar faces are all she needs, until a stranger arrives with plans that threaten everything she’s rebuilt.
Dusty’s from the city, all charm and muscle, turning heads as easily as he swings a hammer. Everyone loves him, except Ella. She’s certain his interest in town goes deeper than his talk of renovations and good intentions. And when she learns he’s been eyeing local properties, her suspicions ignite.
But the land remembers what people forget. Buried histories stir beneath the surface, and secrets carried on desert winds begin to rise again. As the truth emerges, Ella and Dusty must decide whether or not to guard their hearts.
