“You are mine,” he said. “Forever.” And a chill ran through her.
When Johanna leaves Europe for the promise of a new life in Australia, she believes her marriage to Kurt will bring love and stability. But the further they travel into the remote outback, the more his charm fades — revealing a man driven by greed, control, and a dangerous obsession with the legendary black opal.
Cut off from everyone she knows, Johanna becomes trapped in a lonely mining town where secrets fester and survival depends on silence. As Kurt’s obsession turns violent, Johanna must face the escape will come only if she’s willing to pay the ultimate price.
Mine Forever is a gripping psychological thriller about love turned to control, isolation and obsession, and one woman’s fight for freedom in a world where help is days away — and trust is deadlier than the desert.

Helga Zeiner is a German-born Canadian author. She left her home town Augsburg at the age of eighteen to explore the world. For the following fourteen years, she lived and worked in Australia and Asia before she married and settled in Canada. All her stories have been inspired by her years of extensive travels. The reader can only guess which parts of her dramatic thrillers are based on real-life experiences or might be the product of her imagination. She now lives on Vancouver Island, unless she is traveling the world again. Aside from writing, Helga loves reading, (anything but preferably dark and twisty), dogs, (all breeds and mixes but preferably Chow Chows), wine (preferably the bubbly kind), cooking and eating (preferably with good friends and family), and last but not least, her hubby Mani (no preference specified there—she loves everything about him).
