The Lonely Paddock
BOOK 3 in the Settlers Hill Series:
The Lonely Paddock was my first book out with Harper Collins/Harlequin. But it is actually the third book in the series. It is the story of country vet Ross Harrington and Flick Parker.
BLURB:
Country vet Ross Harrington would rather throw himself into his work than face the memories of a tragic childhood accident. But the protective animal-lover cannot forgive himself, tied by the belief he is unworthy of love. So, when the adorable Flick Parker bounds into his clinic with her unruly dog and a smile that threatens to dissolve his protective walls, he’s torn between his fascination with her zest for life and the overwhelming desire to tail-turn for the hills.
Meanwhile, Flick is falling for the handsome vet but doesn’t know if her heartfelt desire to care for terminally ill children can be in her future or if it’s the very thing that will keep her and Ross apart. Finding the balance between offering too much heart or guarding it like an open wound feels like an impossible task unless Ross can open himself to forgiveness and Flick can show him it’s worth taking the risk.
The Lonely Paddock is a rural romance that proves forgiveness is possible and fighting for love is worth the heartache.
All my stories are stand-alone, but throughout each, connect familiar characters which means they can be read in order also.

Sheep Gully Road
Sheep Gully Road is the first book in the Forest Gully series.
BLURB:
Former fireman Gus Stevens is haunted by the one rescue he couldn't make. Now he wants nothing more than to disappear into his quiet farm on the outskirts of Forest Gully. The last thing he needs is his new neighbour, Kate Harris, with her happy smile and relentless community spirit, trying to drag him back into a world he’s sworn to leave behind.
Kate has enough on her plate to raise her nephew, Riley, and prove to herself—and her parents—that she’s capable of being the guardian he needs. But something about her brooding neighbour calls to her, and she recognises the same lost look in his eyes that she sees in Riley’s.
When a devastating storm threatens Riley’s life, Gus must face an impossible choice: confront the demons of his past or watch history repeat itself. In a small town where secrets don’t stay buried and healing comes in unexpected ways, Gus and Kate must decide if letting down their guards is worth risking their hearts. But with Kate’s deadline looming and Gus’s demons rising, time isn't on their side.
The Reluctant Farm-her
