War correspondent Leo Ericson returns to his hometown of Bluestone Lake, Minnesota, when his parents notify him his young son is having trouble fitting in at school. Leo doesn’t know how to be a single parent since the death of his wife, and he certainly has no desire to return to Bluestone. But he needs a place for his son, a place where he’ll be with family, while Leo does his job. He’ll stay long enough to get Max settled, then go back to work.
School counselor Trinity Madison watches Leo struggle with his son, trying to overcome the mental barricade she’s erected against the man who sent his son away when he’s perfectly capable of caring for the child. The situation brings about her own unsettled feelings about giving her child up for adoption when she was young. But as she observes Leo’s difficulties, his sacrifices, she softens toward the man.
While he’s in town, he ends up working with some old friends and Trinity on a committee to revitalize Bluestone. The former resort town is struggling and looking for ways to bring tourists back. Leo finds himself charmed, then smitten with the feisty counselor, but will he still love her when he learns her secret?

FREE for a limited time
The thing about cancer is it’s hard to prove somebody gave it to you on purpose—but Chloe Taylor can prove it. In fact, she proves it for a living. She sues oil refineries that would rather save a buck than comply with safety regulations designed to do important things like, you know, keep people alive.
Chloe had a successful career until circumstances forced her to move to the bass-ackwards town of Kettle, Texas (human population: 4,000; gun population: 34,356). Big Oil industry giant PetroPlex employs half of Kettle’s population, and there’s no question the judge in the town’s got oil stains on his hands. It’s no wonder she’s been on a losing streak lately. She suspects she’s been litigating on an uneven playing field, but when her star expert witness turns up dead less than 48 hours before a make-or break hearing, she knows.
What she doesn’t know is the key piece of information that got her expert killed. It turns out PetroPlex is harboring a shocking secret—one that has the potential to skyrocket gasoline prices, spark an energy market meltdown, and trigger riots, chaos, death, and destruction on a global scale. Chloe must discover the secret and expose the villains before she is permanently silenced, all while juggling a troublesome ex-fiancé and a tantalizing new flame along the way.

In 1872 Jarrah’s great grandfather JARKANGA and great grandmother JANE FIFE, the first female Scottish settler in WOGGAN WANDONG country, met at the waterhole known as the Dreaming Billabong. They and their partners became friends. Woggan Wandong Aboriginals and the FIFE settlers lived in harmony, sharing land, knowledge and supplies.
1882: New settlers of Fife Springs brought diversity to the inland country township. Baker AMY BUCKRAM showed disrespect for the sacred waterhole. The MAWSON family’s methods of protecting sheep from dingoes and eagle attacks caused the Aboriginals sorry time. Love blossomed between CHARLOTTE BUCKRAM, the baker’s daughter and ALAN FIFE, Jane and DOUGLAS FIFE’s teenage son. RAY BUCKRAM planed to use his discovery of his sister’s clandestine meetings with Alan to acquire the Fife Downs property. Charlotte is held responsible for what follows. Out of suffering erupts a payback culture. Is it Alan or Ray fueling the vengeance crimes?.

Alan has recognized his fairer-skinned children–Lesley, IAIN and TED–as his own, but what of BILLY and JIM? Would Alan betray younger sons and Jarrah?
HARRY is Emily’s older brother. A lonely child, he is neglected by his criminal parents. Harry is receptive to hearing the ghost, Charlotte. She tells him how to gain his mother’s love and become the cattle king. Ray will use anyone, even his grandson, to fulfil his goal of revenge and ownership of the Fife Downs Cattle Station.
1952: EMILY Fife Mayer is the daughter of fashion designer Lesley and her charismatic husband PETER (Buckram) MAYER. She is the granddaughter of feuding grandparents Ray Buckram and Alan Fife. The seven-year-old is caught up in a fractured family puzzle. Someone is continuing the payback crimes that began when Alan and Ray were boys. Both the police and a Sydney crime gang are after her father. Jarrah and Emily need to find each other, and Uncle Iain, to start the healing.
