Synopsis:

Abigail Ferris seems to have it all: a prosperous Outback station; a handsome, genial husband and two accomplished adult children. But appearances can be deceiving …

Wordsworth Station is in the grip of the worst drought in living memory, and Abby is pulling out all the stops to keep her animals alive and her family business afloat. True to form, husband Brad is nowhere to be seen when she needs him most.

After some intriguing visitors land at her doorstep, one man in the group stands out: David. He is cultured, gentle, thoughtful. Everything Brad is not. His presence shines a harsh spotlight on the reality of her life, revealing the truth about her husband’s character.

When Abby is involved in an accident on a remote part of her property, it becomes clear that she is the target of a cold, ruthless killer. All the while, she glimpses a nurturing love beyond her wildest dreams.

Can Abby finally be with a man who truly deserves her? Or will the chameleon reveal his true colours and destroy her life?

Synopsis:

There’s more going on than meets the eye at Wyrangi Station. In a desperate bid to restore order on her land, Sonia Brooke seeks a private nurse to care for her disabled husband and daughter, so that she can get back to the business of running her Outback Queensland station. Angela Owen, a young nurse from Tamworth, fits the bill.

Unaware of the trouble she is walking into, Angela’s arrival is a baptism of fire. Greeted with an emergency on the road to her new home, Angela is first on the scene at a near-deadly motorcycle accident. While trying to save the victim’s life, she has an instant soul connection. She cannot get him out of her mind: this man called John Riley.

As she settles in, Angela quickly senses that some important information is being withheld from her about the conditions of the job. Upon realising the frightening truth, Angela is faced with a decision to abandon the very people who need her or to put her own life on the line. One fateful moment seals the deal: John Riley is alive and well and walks back into her life. And she can’t bring herself to leave him.

Once Angela commits to stay, the Outback station has one focus—to keep her alive. And while they safeguard her from danger, she weaves magic into the lives of her patients, bringing new hope and light to the Brooke family and Wyrangi Station.

The challenge is: how long can they keep Angela protected?

New Release for Christmas 2023

Secrets of the Rock : the exciting new release novel just in time for Christmas!

Anne Rouen’s brand new Australian Outback romantic suspense novel has been released for pre-sale on most online platforms and goes on sale December 1, 2023. Prices start at around $9.50 AU ($7 US) for the ebook and $25 AU ($20 US).

Grab a copy here: Secrets of the Rock

From Anne Rouen, the twelve-time Global eBook Award medallist comes Secrets of the Rock—the third novel in her collection of Australian Outback romantic suspense dramas set in Queensland in the 1990s.

Secrets of the Rock picks up from award-winning novel Winter at Medora Downs a decade later.

After both her best friends found true love and moved on, Jo realised it was time she made the life-changing decision to resign from her thankless job and lonely life in Sydney and move to the far reaches of Western Queensland.

Following in the footsteps of her friend Sarah at Medora Downs, Jo takes up the job of governess on a neighbouring Outback station, Emerald Hills, and is delighted to discover her charge is a bright, gifted eight-year-old named William.

It’s not only William who steals Jo’s heart: the rugged beauty of the Outback landscape captivates her, and she soon discovers a secret hideaway at Rainbow Rock, perfect to put her love of painting into practice, and William’s genius of geology to the test.

There’s only one problem: Jo and William aren’t the only ones in on the secrets of the rock. It holds many stories for many people—some beautiful, some frightening—and it doesn’t take long before both its splendour and chaos rain down on Emerald Hills.

It is then that Jo finds herself enmeshed in the workings of an underground drug cartel and, at the same time, the magic of a surprise romance, not realising how dangerously entwined both secrets are.

Will the Secrets of the Rock bring true love or cost Jo her life?

Incredibly, she finds that her enemies are not all on the other side.
