The life-affirming new medical romance from the author of The Opal Miner's Daughter.

WINNER - 2024 Romance Writers of New Zealand Koru Awards - Best Long Romance

Dr Hannah Rogan, a GP from outback Queensland, is in hiding from an emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend. When a visit to her friend Gracie in Featherwood sparks the idea to move there and open a medical practice for the town, Hannah finds the fresh start she needs. The town has rebuilt after devastating fires, and its growing population is desperate for her calm presence and expertise.

Her first patient is the son of the tight-lipped, attractive Jude, from the mysterious closed community upriver. Jude has a troubled past he doesn't talk about, but now he's helping others to turn their lives around. The last thing Jude needs is to fall for the new doctor in town, but his son's illness means they'll be spending a lot of time together.

The rain starts, and doesn't stop. The creeks fill, the river bursts, and soon the residents of Featherwood are at risk of losing everything they've rebuilt. As the floodwaters rise, so do emotions, and everyone must pull together to save lives and salvage whatever they can.

From the bestselling author of The Opal Miner's Daughter comes this suspenseful tale of love, redemption, and finding your path when you feel surrounded.
