It took everything to rebuild her life… now she might lose it all.
Eve Nicholls is finally rebuilding her life at Mossy Creek Farm. After surviving devastating bushfires, clearing her name of false accusations, and finding comfort in the quiet rhythm of country life, she's ready to move forward—especially with kind-hearted local vet Hugh Robertson by her side.
But when her cheating ex, Marcus, returns determined to stake a claim on her future—and their unborn child—Eve’s hard-won peace is shattered.
She’s run before. As a grief-stricken teen, it felt like the only choice. But this time, the stakes are higher. The horses, the land, the people—this place has become home.
If she stays, Eve must confront the ghosts of her past and fight for the future she’s dreamed of. If she runs, she might lose everything.
A heartfelt, emotional story of resilience, love, and finding the courage to fight. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Amanda Prowse, and small-town women’s fiction with heart.
Pamela Cook is an author, podcaster, writing teacher and mentor. Her debut novel Blackwattle Lake (2012) was published by Hachette Australia in 2012 followed by three rural fiction titles. She subsequently published two independent titles (Cross My Heart and All We Dream) and is now publishing with Bolinda Audio and Vinci Books. Pamela writes stories of longing and belonging, delving deep into the psychology of her characters and the complexity of relationships in all their forms. She explores the impact of trauma, grief and generational conflict, drawing on the resilience and courage she finds in inspirational women. Her writing is imbued with a deep love of the natural world and its power to heal. Producing and hosting Writes4Women, a weekly podcast that supports women writers and celebrates women’s writing, is one of Pamela’s not-so-guilty pleasures. She is also a Writer Ambassador for Room To Read, a not-for-profit organisation promoting literacy and gender equality in developing countries. An experienced teacher, Pamela loves to mentor emerging authors. When she’s not writing or reading, she wastes as much time as possible riding her handsome quarter horse Baloo, hanging out with her family and menagerie of animals on her dream-come-true rural property in the beautiful Illawarra region of NSW, and dreaming of a road trip in Virginia, her vintage caravan.
