About this series
A holidaying sports heroine crosses paths with a cheeky but charming cattleman, as they try to work their way out of a jam…
An injured-world champion softballer, searching for a lost family connection, unexpectedly crosses paths with the cheeky but charming caretaker, Alex, on her Aunt's outback farm.
With Verily holidaying at the farmhouse, she's a curveball Alex would love to catch—but she's also a risk to his heart and homelife he'd rather avoid.
But finding himself in a jam, Alex herds Verily into a wild scheme that could propel his dreams into fruition. Until a feud between old friends threatens to derail everything.
With her return tickets booked, can Alex convince Verily to stay or will they find themselves on opposite sides of the globe forever?
From dusty cattle stations to flourishing mango orchards, welcome to Elsie Creek, a sweet small town series set in a place where the summer never ends.
*?*Book II of the ELSIE CREEK SERIES can be enjoyed as a standalone*?*

She ran away when younger. Now, she returns to the only place that ever felt like home. But for how long… At the request of her unwell uncle, Kat is back in Elsie Creek, doing her best to forget the past while focusing on her family's unknown future. Kyle is about to propose to another woman when his ex-muse, Kat, rolls into his workshop seeking his help. For Kat, Kyle was her best friend —her first and only love. But his rejection tore her heart apart. Kyle's scars still sting over Kat's desertion—especially when he'd needed her the most. Yet, these long-lost soulmates are compelled to team-up for a man they both care for. But can they work together without re-igniting that spark shared all those summers ago?
