The last thing advertising art director Lucy Bellamy wants is to go home to the Outback, but duty to family calls. At least there's one bonus-her first love, sexy cowboy neighbor, Garth Mackenzie, is there and the attraction between them is still explosive. But Lucy has no intention of getting stuck in this two-bit town and she counts down the days until she can go back to her real life. After an engineering degree and working in the mines of Western Australia, Garth has returned to the Outback and is home to stay. His goal is to settle down, start a family, and work his beloved land with the girl he's always loved. But if it comes to Lucy choosing between the glamour of the city or making a home with him in the Outback-he'd lose, hands down.
