Second chances at love aren't always easy... Emma McKinnon's dream job as a cadet reporter in the small country town of Bellethorpe is not going to plan. Unless she can turn the paper around fast, she'll be out of a job, prove her mother right, and if she's not careful, fall for the charming advances of Angus, a local country and western singer. Doctor in training Cole Willoughby hasn't forgotten Emma after their holiday romance two years ago. Their frequent letters and messages are proof that things aren't over between them, except his sister's ill-health has kept him in Canada. But when family tensions drive Cole away, the pull to be with Emma and the opportunity to work in outback Australia is too hard to resist... only it's not the happily ever after he imagined. Emma's dedication to saving the paper, Cole's sister's worsening condition, and the attentions of Angus keep coming between them. Is it possible to fight for their love? Or are they destined to always be apart? Readers will delight in returning to small-town Bellethorpe where they'll meet new characters and run into old friends.
