Her heart's been broken by tragedy, but will a cowboy's courage be enough to save her when there's a killer on the loose in the outback?
Jenna Montrose is on the run from the man who killed her father. Alone and always moving from town to town, Jenna trusts no one, not even the cops. She arrives in remote Smokey Creek, outback West Australia, where she takes a job as a jillaroo on a cattle station. Perhaps this time her archenemy won't be able to find her.
Dan Simmonds has demons of his own to conquer, having spent two years in jail for a crime he didn't commit. He needs to keep this job as a jackaroo to re-build his reputation. But he can't seem to shake the protective instinct Jenna awakens, when he sees through her lies to her desperate vulnerability. She's so full of contradictions, he's not sure she's worth fighting for.
When they become trapped together in the desert, Dan admits she provokes emotions he thought buried deep. Jenna is drawn to Dan's courageous heart and welcoming smile, but desperate not to reveal her secret, will she revert to her habit of running away when the murderer reappears? Or will she let him help her, and turn the hunter into the hunted?
Suzanne Cass's rural suspense abounds with peril, passion and murder, set in the magical outback desert of Western Australia.
