Billie Holden thought she had the perfect life, until she caught her boyfriend with another woman. Betrayed and hurting, she leaves Sydney for a new life in the tropical north. To help soothe her broken heart, she takes the inland route so she can see the outback. She's never been there before and just as luck would have it, she breaks down smack in the middle of the smallest town she's ever seen.
Jeff Houston didn't want to join the wife hunting competition but he owed Beth big time, and can't refuse her request to bolster the numbers. His luck changes when he meets Billie, the perfect candidate for a wife. Pity he isn't looking for one, and the last thing she wants is to get into a relationship again. She only needs his mechanical skills.
They get on better than either of them imagined and Jeff decides he really wants to get to know her more. But keeping Billie in Casey Plains with lies wasn't the best choice he could have made, and she finds out before he can come clean.
Once again, she's on the run with a broken heart.
Is there anything this country man can do to tempt her to try again?
