Publisher Description
A sweeping Australian love story from the author of Southern Star.
When her beloved father dies, Eliza Mayberry's privileged world comes crashing down around her. On the verge of losing the business that has been in her family for generations, she has no option but to take over the last remaining case: tracking down the elusive Fingal McLeod in outback New South Wales and bringing him back to Sydney.
Fin, however, has other ideas. Determined to find the legendary Dark Flame, a rare opal that has eluded opal-hunters for decades, he has no intention of leaving his mine to reunite with the family who abandoned him – even for the beguiling Miss Mayberry.
Drawn to the people and starkly beautiful landscape of the desert, Eliza discovers the new start that she's been seeking in this unlikely place. But as passion blooms under the scorching outback sun, secrets from the past and present are bubbling below the surface – secrets that could destroy both the fragile trust between Eliza and Fin, and the bright promise of the future.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic
Desert Flame is about greed, passion and families. Eliza Mayberry was trying to handle the death of her father when the family lawyer told her that she had lost her home and the family business is in trouble. The family business had one client left, and Eliza Mayberry realises that she needs to fulfil the client's request in finding Fingal McLeod. However, Eliza Mayberry did not recognise that finding Fingal McLeod would change both their lives forever. The readers of Desert Flame will continue to follow the twists and turns in Eliza Mayberry investigation. I was recommended to read Desert Flame, and I loved it. Desert Flame was the first book I have read of Janine Gray, and it was well written and researched. I will read another book by Janine Grey. I like Janine Grey portrayal of her characters and the way they interact with each other. The way Janine Grey described her plot and settings I felt that I was one of her characters. The readers of Desert Flame will start to understand the problems and the hardship that opal minders go through to find opals in outback New South Wales. Also, readers of Desert Flame will learn about running a genealogy research business. I recommend this book.
