The last thing advertising art director Lucy Peterkin wants is to go home to outback Prickle Creek, but family duty calls. The one bright spot? Her neighbour and first love, Garth Mackenzie, is back home, too, and their connection is as undeniable as ever. After earning an engineering degree and working in the mines of Western Australia, Garth has returned home for good. He's ready to put down roots, work the land he loves, and build a future-ideally with Lucy by his side. But Lucy has no intention of trading her career and city life for the outback, no matter how much Garth tempts her to stay.
But with her heart set on the city, he knows convincing her to stay will take more than their old spark. Can they bridge the gap between their dreams, or will their different dreams force them apart?
