Publisher Description
When Kirsty Fox goes on the run to escape a crash-and-burn at work, she finds a family she didn't know she needed... A witty and warm rural romance perfect for readers of Rachael Johns and Alissa Callen.
They say a change is as good as a holiday. Joey Miles is hoping so after leaving the city behind, his stockbroking career in flames, to embrace a brand-new challenge: farming. But while returning to his hometown somehow feels right, he's got a long way to go to get back on his feet financially and the last thing he needs is the townsfolk meddling in his love life (or lack thereof).
To the townsfolk of Clarence, Joey has always been the ultimate tragic romantic hero - and it's time this hero had a happy ever after...
But Kirsty Fox is only in Clarence to dig up information about a World War II figure from her family's past - she has no intention of sticking around and finding out if Joey is as adorable as he seems. Kirsty doesn't stick around. Ever.
But when the locals of Clarence spy the chemistry between these two, a secret item gets added to the agenda of the next town committee meeting: matchmaking. This warm-hearted community will pull every trick in the book to show Joey and Kirsty everything they've unwittingly been searching for is right under their noses... What could possibly go wrong?
Chicken wrangling, an adorable kid niece, a secret in a cow shed and a big-hearted town full of meddlesome wannabe poets... This new romance from Australian author Stella Quinn is a knockout.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
There’s an appealing warmth that runs right the way through Stella Quinn’s rural romance. A spirited love story unfolds when pilot Kirsty Fox arrives in the northern NSW town to dig into her family history—a quest that leads her to the farm of Joey Miles, who’s dusting himself down after his career in finance came to a chastening halt. A relationship is the last thing on Kirsty’s to-do list but Quinn gently nudges the pair towards each other in a tale written with smart wit, crisp dialogue and some satisfying bumps and twists. With its beautiful landscape and richly drawn population of affable and empathetic characters, Clarence is a lovely place to be—you’ll be sorry to leave once the final pages arrive.
