• A contemporary, diverse romance novel that draws in timely, important themes such as racism and sexual assault.
• Author Michelle Hazen has worked as a councillor for survivors of sexual assault, and draws on this knowledge here.
• Ideal for book clubs - with plenty of themes to explore such as interracial relationships, PTSD, and family issues.
• Set both in atmospheric New Orleans and the cowboy plains of Montana, settings which make for pure escapism.
• Crossover potential - although primarily a romance read, the weighty themes give it a contemporary fiction edge.
