If you read the first book in this series 'Baby at Bushman's Creek' than you know about Alice. Alice was born to Pippa who died shortly after giving birth and on her death bed she made her sister Claire promise to take Alice to her father Jack who lives in the Outback. So, Jack is now a full-time father and he wants to leave his brothers place and buy a new place and start over, but he needs a nanny/housekeeper for Alice.Ellie has always loved Jack and has even spent the last three years away from the outback hoping that her feelings would go away. Jack has always seen Ellie as the kid sister that he never had. Ellie returns to the Outback only to learn about Alice. Ellie is devestated to learn that Jack will always love Pippa and that she will never have a place in his heart. But, she thought that if she were to marry Jack for Alice's sake than he would never have to know about her true feelings and she could at least settle for being near Jack and living in the Outback everyday.Being second best is never good enough. Ellie feels Pippa's ghost all the time. Jack and Ellie have always been friends, but Ellie wants more and without it she has to decide if she is willing to settle or walk away with nothing. Ellie is between a rock and a hard place and I would hate to be in her shoes. I liked the story, but sometimes I just wanted to scream at the characters to be honest with one another. Honesty would have saved Ellie and Jack a lot of heartache.
