Publisher Description
“The suspenseful and surprising showdown left me breathless...”
Fate and flooding rains brought them together. Secrets may tear them apart.
Daisy’s in trouble. Her car is stalled in the middle of a flooded creek, with the water rising quickly.
Dale is in no mood to rescue the woman about to be swept away by a raging tropical storm, who’s clearly a city girl, unfamiliar with the country roads, and driving a completely unsuitable car. He has half a mind to leave her right where she is.
Stranded on the wrong side of the creek, Daisy has no other option than to accept Dale’s offer to spend the night at the luxury resort, Stormcloud Station.
All of Daisy’s plans to leave the station are thrown into chaos when a girl is found drowned in the creek and everyone become suspects in a murder investigation.
Daisy has discovered that far north Queensland is a wholly inhospitable country, but it also has a man with mesmerizing dimples, whose kiss has captured her soul. But she hides a secret that would tear them apart.
On a night full of chaos, Dale and Daisy uncover the truth about the killer. But how can Dale safeguard this willful, determined woman who owns his heart, when Daisy puts herself squarely in harm’s way?

A real page turner
Clear Skies is first in a new series by Suzanne Cass set around the Stormcloud Station in Australia, each book is stand-alone without a cliffhanger.
When Daisy's brother gets in trouble with the police she drives them both from Perth to Northern Queensland where they live quietly in the Outback. After buying provisions and in a desperate hurry to return to her young brother, Daisy foolishly drives through a flooded river and her car becomes caught in the raging water.
When Dale from Stromcloud Station rescues Daisy she doesn't seem at all appreciative because she's now trapped on the wrong side of the river, leaving her brother alone.
Unable to cross the river, Dale takes Daisy back with him to Stormcloud where they hear the news that the flooded river has claimed the life of his co-worker from the Station. The police arrive to investigate and it becomes apparent that the death wasn't an accident, it was murder. Daisy is trying to keep a low profile but with the police investigating a murder everyone will be questioned and she needs to protect her brother.
The beginning of a new series, full of mystery and romance with wonderful descriptions of Queensland. Looking forward to the next in the series.
