Outback Secrets

by Annie Seaton

Small-town outback romance where love is worth the wait.

Jill and Ryan’s story continues in Outback Secrets as Irish photographer Finn O’Sullivan arrives in Garnet Creek running from a scandal—his reputation destroyed, his career in ruins.
Librarian Charlotte Hayes recognises Finn the moment he walks into her library. Her reaction is immediate, complicated—and she's not about to explain why.
When Finn is offered part-time bar work at The Happy Outback Hotel, Charlotte tells herself to stay away, but she can't ignore the growing connection between them—or the guilt of staying silent whilst Finn suffers.
When Charlotte's past catches up to her, threatening everything she's built, staying silent is no longer an option. Speaking the truth could save Finn—or destroy them both.
As Garnet Creek rallies around them both, Finn and Charlotte must keep running from the past or stand and fight for the love and family they never expected to find.
Because sometimes the biggest secret is what you're afraid to reach for.
