Description

'Maya shines a light on rural romance and celebrates storytelling that makes the heart sing and smiles abound.' Graziher Magazine

Widowed, cautious, and clearly out of his depth, Spencer Hawkins never expected to find himself in front of a reality TV crew, let alone as a contestant on Love on the Land.

Clem Crossley has her hands full with her sunflower-filled property, two daughters, her new farm gate café, and catering for the TV crew, without adding romance to the mix.

As the TV show airs, misleading edits and small-town gossip threaten to undo the bond Spencer and Clem are building. Clem, fiercely protective of her daughters, begins to wonder if Spencer is a risk she can't afford.

In the heart of rural South Australia, Spencer and Clem must confront their pasts and trust each other to take centrestage in a love story that's all their own.

'We're big fans of Maya Linnell's brand of rural romance.' Australian Country Magazine

About the Author

Bestselling fiction author Maya Linnell gathers inspiration from her rural upbringing and the small communities she has lived in and loved. A former journalist and radio host, Maya loves writing authentically Australian stories about strong country women, relationships and charming close-knit communities. She's also quite partial to rescuing orphaned lambs, baking up a storm and adventuring with her family. Sunrise at Sunny Cross Farm is her eighth novel following Cockatoo Cove, Wallaby Lane, Kookaburra Cottage, Paperbark Hill, Magpie's Bend, Bottlebrush Creek and Wildflower Ridge.
