From the best - selling author of The House on Burra Burra Lane, comes a brand - new story about opposites, attraction, an outback pub, and a pink house ... The mysterious death of her mother has left Charlotte Simmons on edge and off - balance for too long. The only way to move forward is to get answers, and those answers can only be found in one place. So Charlotte buys a Bed & Breakfast establishment in Swallow's Falls, a small town in Australia's Snowy Mountains, as a ploy to get close to the man who might have the answers. She'll jazz up the old place, flip it, get her answers, and be gone in two - months - max. What she doesn't count on is opposition from the dogmatic and slightly eccentric members of the town council, and the hotshot owner of Kookaburra's Bar & Grill and his two - hundred - squats - a - day physique whose mouth offers to act as mediator, but his eyes promise something so much more. Easy - going Daniel Bradford knows progress is slow in Swallow's Fall. He's finally about to put his plans into place to upgrade the hotel when a prim - and - proper, citified redhead blows into town, putting everyone on edge. The only way to contain the trouble she's about to cause is to contain her - but he knows trouble when he sees it, and soon it becomes very clear that there's absolutely nothing containable about Charlotte, or the way he feels about her.
