Love in Between
Caleb Stirling has never had it easy, but he’s worked hard and is a stellar chef of his own five-star restaurant in Sydney. Over one fateful week his world crumbles around him and he finds himself in an outback country town where everything he’s ever known is threatened.
Bridie Finch is the lifeblood of Bellethorpe. Need something done? Give it to Bridie. She’s so busy looking after the community, her father and their strawberry farm, she fails to care for herself.
Now, Caleb must care for his orphaned niece. But Bridie needs a chef for the annual Bastille Day Festival and, unwillingly, he lands the role. But there’s no place to hide in town and soon the locals discover who he really is. Instead of rejecting him, they rally with support and quickly both Bellethorpe and Bridie get under his skin.
Unexpectedly, city slicker Caleb finds himself a single dad and part of a thriving community, and undeniably attracted to wholesome country girl, Bridie. Whilst she’s happy to offer support, can she deal with his inner demons, and will Bridie let him help her, too?
A sweet small-town story of community, being accepted and finding love in the most unexpected of places.

This beautifully written emotional story will have you cheering for Bridie, who quietly gives her all to the town and the new city guy. Caleb is out of his comfort zone in more ways than one, but he tries. This stand-out, brave and romantic story is well worth it. Couldn’t wait to see how it all turned out. Recommend.
