Where There's Smoke by Karly Lane

Mackenzie Knight has her life on track. She runs a successful business and life is going pretty smoothly—until Ewan Campbell shows up unexpectedly and rocks her boat.

The last place Ewan wants to be is at a meeting with the wedding planner his fiancée had to have. He regrets coming along even more so after he realises that he and the wedding planner have an almost-forgotten history together.

Now Mackenzie faces a dilemma—does she reveal the secret that could ruin his relationship and her business reputation by telling him? Or does she choose silence and continue to go about her nice, uncomplicated life?

Whatever her decision, Mackenzie knows it will have a lasting impact on all of their lives. Could a second-chance love story be in her future?

Now, after surviving three teenage children and with one more to go, she's confident she can add referee, hostage negotiator, law enforcer, peacekeeper, ruiner-of-social-lives, driving instructor and expert-at silently-counting-to-ten to her resume.

When she isn't at her keyboard, Karly can be found hanging out with her beloved horses and dogs, happily ignoring the housework.

Karly writes Rural and Women's Fiction set in small country towns, blending contemporary stories with historical heritage. She is a passionate advocate for rural Australia, with a focus on rural communities and current issues. She has published twenty-six books with Allen & Unwin.
