'A devastating separation from her partner Josh has left Georgie emotionally and financially shattered. So when Nico, her boss-turned-lover, invites her to join him on a high-stakes bid in Canada, she seizes the opportunity, even though it means abandoning her nephew Tommy, the only person in her life right now who gives her unconditional love.
'As Georgie strives to keep her affair a secret while trying to impress Nico’s super demanding boss, Randy Kuchma, it feels as if her partnership in the firm, as well as personal redemption, are almost within her grasp.
'But from the rugged landscapes of north-western Australia to the bleak wilderness of western Canada, Georgie discovers that in every resource-dependent boom town, the trappings of wealth are intertwined with heartache and loss – especially when the person who needs you most is the one that you need too.'
