Beyond the Red Horizon

England, 1918. World War One rages, and Victoria Hospital harbours the wounded. Between the falling bombs, a love is blooming.

Nurse Elena and Doctor Lyle fall hard for each other. Their passion rivalled only by their desire to save lives. Doomed from the start, the young lovers must hide their relationship.

But Lyle has kept a secret from Elena. Guilt-ridden, he breaks off contact and returns home to marry his ex-girlfriend. Elena's parents arrange her marriage to an older Italian who takes his unwilling bride to Australia.

Years later, Lyle answers an ad for the Flying Doctor Service "Down Under". Meanwhile Elena has learned to survive on the outback. And she has kept quiet all these years about a scandal that could tear her family apart.

Beyond the Red Horizon is an epic historical romance. What if our soulmate slips through our fingers? Can true love stand the test of time—and the pain of betrayal?
