'After more than ten years away, Australian soap star Ellie Hughes returns to the small country town of Hope's Junction, determined to remain anonymous while caring for her injured godmother, Matilda. But it isn't long until the townspeople are gossiping about her return. Soon Ellie and her former fiancé Flynn Quartermaine are thrown back together again, but Ellie is not the only one with secrets. Flynn has his own demons to battle, and Matilda is hiding something from her beloved goddaughter. Can the ill-fated lovers overcome the wounds of their past or is Flynn destined to be jilted again?' (Publisher's blurb)

'Nurse Lauren Simpson is known in Hope Junction for the wrong reasons – and she’s over it. Watching the man she’s always loved marry someone else is the last straw – she decides to get out of Hope. But her resolve is tested when the hot new locum doctor arrives in town.

'Doctor Tom Lewis also has skeletons in his closet – including a painful breakup and devastating family news. He’s hit the road with his vintage ute and surfboard, to travel the outback and live in the moment.

'When Tom and Lauren meet the attraction is instant, but for Lauren Tom threatens to be just another fling and Tom has his own reasons for hesitating. Everyone else – their friends and patients – can see how perfect they are together, but just what will it take for them to admit this to themselves?'
