Wildhorse Creek

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Billy Martin runs from home, burying his past in the quest for a future. He finds it in Queensland's spectacular Gulf Country, on the sprawling cattle runs.

The Gulf breeds tough men, and Billy is quickly drawn to the excitement and adventure of working with the fiery cattleman and ex-con Blake Reilly and his daughter Jo.

Billy finds mateship, danger and romance in the Gulf, but he also finds an untamed and violent land. In the brooding heat and unpredictable storms, the future he had sought unfoldsβ€”in ways as turbulent and unexpected as the country itselfβ€”and Billy discovers a place where he can at last belong.

Wildhorse Creek is a gripping tale of seeking one's place in a world of natural beauty and unpredictable challenges.
