Bottlebrush Creek is a heart-warming, funny, and poignant story about the joys and heartbreaks of country living. A winner. —Victoria Purman, bestselling author of The Land Girls

Between managing a bustling beauty salon, hectic volunteer commitments, and the lion's share of parenting two-year-old Claudia, Angie McIntyre barely has time to turn around. With each passing month, she feels her relationship with fly-in, fly-out boyfriend Rob Jones slipping through her fingers.

When Rob faces retrenchment and the most fabulous fixer-upper comes onto the market, Angie knows this derelict weatherboard cottage will be the perfect project to draw their little family together.

There's just one catch: the 200-acre property is right next door to Rob's parents in south-west Victoria.

It doesn't take long for rising tensions to set a wedge between the hard-working couple. Angie and Rob have to find out the hard way whether their grand design will draw them closer together or be the very thing that tears them apart.

A sparkling rural romance of changing relationships and family ties from the bestselling author of Wildflower Ridge.

Heart-warming, funny, and poignant, Bottlebrush Creek will capture your heart and imagination. —BlueWolfReviews

Another gorgeous story that was heart-warming and beautiful with all the feels. I loved being in Port Fairview with them, thank you Ms Linnell for another story that is a keeper and a must-read. —FamilySagaReviews
