Destiny: Book 1 in the West Series
September 2018 at a bear lodge in British Columbia (Canada), Dan West meets Ellie Clifford. Their travels take them to Coober Pedy (Australia), Newmarket (England) and Colorado (USA).
At 49, Dan has laid to rest three wives and raised six children. He made his fortune in the South Australian opal fields of Coober Pedy, repurchased the Colorado family home from the bank, breeds prime beef cattle and thoroughbred racehorses. He should be happy, but after twenty-two years without a partner, he would love nothing more than to find someone to share it all with. When he heads to a bear lodge in British Columbia, he meets the beautiful Ellie Clifford and knows instantly that she’s wife number four.
For nineteen years, Ellie has forged a career as a doctor and travelled with Médecins Sans Frontières and passed on her knowledge through the classroom. Her two daughters, and mum and dad, have been the foundation of her structured and safe life. The last thing she needs is a man like Dan West to tear that world apart. But Dan has other ideas and is determined to overcome her objections.
Dan’s arch-enemy tests his love for Ellie and his family. There is more at stake than Ellie’s objections or his trophy hunting past—the lives of his loved ones are on the line.

About the author
Suzie Hindmarsh-Knights
15 books19 followersI was born in the United Kingdom and emigrated to Australia in my teens.
I worked on a racehorse property below the Great Dividing Range in Victoria. I was living the dream, while reading books by Wilbur Smith and Dick Francis. My love of writing emerged early in my life.
While living in Hong Kong in the nineties, I attended creative writing courses and became involved in writing for club magazines including The Belgian Hong Kong Society and the South China Diving Club’s Buddyline.
On returning to Australia life once again carried me away from writing and it wasn’t until a move to a rural property in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, with my husband Peter, whose photographs appear in this site, and our Bearded Collies, Elsa and Kuura, that my passion for writing was reborn.
