Where the Wattles Bloom

Two people who have given up on happily ever after find an unexpected second chance in a rural romance that is equal parts heart-wrenching and heartwarming, from USA Today bestselling Australian author Amy Andrews.

City girl Rowena Murray needs a new beginning, after her high-pressure career as a neonatal intensive care nurse is derailed by a monumental panic attack.

So she’s glad to be heading to rural Acacia Junction for a low-stress, short-term contract to get back in the game. It’s only for six months – then she’s outta here.

Sheep farmer Lachlan McCabe is on his way into town when he comes across the new nurse saving the life of the town’s beloved baker after a suspected heart attack on a deserted road.

It’s not the kind of meet-cute anyone would ask for, but Rowena and Lachlan soon find sparks flying.

They’re both twice-divorced and have experienced enough of life to know exactly what they want – and neither of them is looking for a long-term partner.

A casual fling, on the other hand … well, that’s a different story.

When an honest-to-God miracle offers an unexpected second chance they’d both thought impossible, Rowena and Lachlan must decide if they will be sharing life as co-parents or true partners.
