She’s running for her life.

He’s a cowboy with a courageous heart.

Falling in love might prove deadly.



Jenna Montrose is a witness to a brutal murder. Alone and always moving, she trusts no one, especially not the police. Arriving in the remote town of Smokey Creek, outback West Australia, she takes a job as a jillaroo on a cattle station. 


Dan Simmonds has demons of his own. He needs his job as a stockman to re-build his reputation. But when Jenna arrives, against all his better instincts, he can’t help but see through her secrets and lies to her desperate vulnerability hiding beneath.


When they become trapped together in the desert, Jenna is drawn to Dan’s fearless heart and welcoming smile. But will she revert to her habit of running away when the murderer reappears? Or will she let him help her, and turn the hunter into the hunted?
