Coorah Creek

The first book in Janet Gover's Coorah Creek series. Pitch perfect romance for fans of Alissa Callen and Karly Lane. They're saving lives in the outback, can love save them ...? Pilot Jess Pearson is running away from a broken heart and a terrible burden of guilt. A new job flying an air ambulance in outback Australia is a lifeline, after the headlines claimed she betrayed her lover to escape a prison sentence. That was all lies, and in Coorah Creek she has a chance to start over. She's not hoping for forgiveness or love, just to escape from the past. But no matter how many people she helps save, can she ever atone for a lost life? Dr Adam Gilmore is a brilliant doctor who wants only two things-to work and to be left alone. Unwilling to let any woman past his well-built barriers, he gives everything of himself to his patients. But when the new pilot comes to his small town, with a dedication to the job that matches his own, he starts to wonder if maybe he doesn't have to shoulder the burden alone ... Can these battered souls learn to take strength from each other? Or will their desire to deal with their demons alone keep them apart forever?

The new novella in the Coorah Creek series. Pitch perfect romance for readers of Karly Lane and Rachael Johns. It might take some Christmas magic to make this outback town feel like home… Eager to make a real difference, English nurse Katie Brooks has travelled halfway around the world to work on an air ambulance in outback Queensland. She was prepared to be a fish out of water, but she hadn't anticipated how challenging the isolation would be. And she'd certainly never expected to be rescued on day one by Scott Collins: Coorah Creek's prodigal son, who might just be the best thing about the town. Meeting Katie is the one bright spot in Scott's reluctant return to his childhood home. He has nothing but bad memories of growing up. He once vowed never to return, but now he needs to put old ghosts to rest, before beginning a new life as far away as he can get. Katie is determined to stay. Scott is just as determined to leave. Can a small-town Christmas change their minds?
