What if you found the love of your life ... and then lost them?
Widow, struggling farmer and self-help author Indi Carmichael finds herself staring down the barrel of her spiralling debt. Her best friend is hell-bent on getting her back in the dating saddle, but with her son acting stranger than usual and a follow-up bestseller to write, Indi doesn't have the time to fix the endless problems facing Manna Gum Farm, let alone for romance.
Washed-up actor Ben Whittam worries about everything. Controlling his life means he can control his grief, and he doesn't have to worry about any unscripted surprises. But with his anxious son's nightmares getting worse and producers breathing down his neck, Ben's summer filming on location in the small town of Kestrel Creek isn't going to plan.
With Indi's future on the farm hanging by a thread and Ben's career on the line, is falling in love while their lives are falling apart really the best idea?
'A sparkling debut, full of love and hope. I couldn't put it down!' Maya Linnell
Leearna Shaw is a contemporary rural romance author inspired by the chaos of living on a small farm in north-east Victoria with her husband and two boys. She has a Diploma in Professional Writing & Editing and a Certificate in Professional Proofreading.
Away from her writing desk, Leearna is as competitive with her reading habits as she is on the basketball court. When she's not tending to her unhealthy obsession with indoor plants, Leearna can be found either on the yoga mat or chasing runaway lambs and her wayward boys on their property.
Leearna's first two rural romance novels will be published by Allen & Unwin in 2026 and 2027.
