WINNER - ROMANCE WRITERS OF AUSTRALIA RUBY AWARD 2020: Contemporary Romance Book of the Year

'Reading Fiona McArthur is like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket and sitting under the stars.' Rachael Johns

What if the love of your life forgot who you were?

When outback midwife Ava May meets Zac on a flight to Alice Springs, they tumble into a whirlwind affair. But an exciting adventure leads to a terrible accident, with shattering consequences. The couple who had so much going for them now find themselves with everything to lose.

Devastated, Ava retreats to her family cattle station to help salvage what she can of the critical situation. But at home on the drought-ridden farm, her brother is being pushed to his limits, and as his depression intensifies, Ava must step in to prevent another family tragedy.

Against the majestic backdrop of Australia’s Red Centre, old dreams are shattered, new babies are born and true love takes flight.

With over sixty books to her name, Fiona McArthur weaves her extensive medical expertise into stories that celebrate the strength of women, families, and rural communities. Her narratives dance across the Australian landscape, bringing to life warm, funny, multigenerational characters who face real-world challenges in remote and rural settings.

Fiona's stories champion the everyday heroes - midwives, doctors, and families - who perform extraordinary acts of courage and kindness. She crafts tales where strong-willed heroines meet their match in kind, humor-filled heroes, always ensuring the journey to love is as meaningful as the destination. Drama, tears, and heart-stopping moments lead inevitably to that satisfying happy ending her readers cherish.

'I live for those magical moments - the first cry of a newborn, the strength women share with each other, and the beauty of our vast Australian landscape,' Fiona says. 'My own love story began when I was seventeen, with a man who still makes me laugh every day. Now our five sons continue that tradition of joy.'

To her readers, Fiona promises stories that illuminate the extraordinary in the ordinary, celebrating the power of resilience, kindness, and love. Each book is an invitation to explore beautiful places while discovering that the world is indeed filled with wonderful people and endless possibilities.

    Wonderful characters living in beautiful country. Lots of love and angst, laughter, and heartbreak - current and past. It was a very emotional journey, very well written.

    Ok, this book caught me off guard. Happily, I must add. I've been looking for a good family saga to get into and this one very much surprised me. So glad to have to next ones already downloaded!

    Edit: Started second book, not a continuation of the first. Big bummer.
    So, first book was good, not bothering with the rest.

    It wasn't what I expected from the cover and the title. I really wanted to love this book and I am so disappointed that I didn't. It was just a pure flat line for me no highs or lows. The story along with the characters was slow and boring and right from the beginning I just didn't click with any of them.
