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?

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?

Master of Illusion – Silver Medal Winner in the 2014 Global Ebook Awards

Posted on August 21, 2014 by Anne Rouen

Winner of the Silver Medal in the 2014 Global Ebook Awards

I guess it is the dream of every author to have the magical words ‘award-winning’ after their name; and I am so thankful to Dan Poynter and his wonderful team of judges for making this dream come true for me with my debut novel Master of Illusion – Book One.

There are so many to thank for believing in my work and encouraging and supporting me in the sometimes lonely and daunting business of self-publishing: my family, friends and all my lovely fans: I cannot thank you enough.

All your wonderful reviews and ratings moved me to tears and sent shivers up my spine; and I vow to do my best to ensure that future works do not fall below standard.

The word ‘standard’ brings to mind another of my precepts: It does not matter whether the publishing is ‘self’ or conventional: it must be correctly and professionally edited and formatted. And here I must thank my fabulous, long-suffering editor for her meticulous attention to detail, tireless hard work and consummate professionalism. We set out on a remarkable adventure that was new to both of us and we leapt off a cliff into the unknown to land on a silver cloud. Thank you, beyond words, for helping me to turn my dream into reality.

So many people have aided me in my transformation from closet writer to award-winning author that I cannot name you all: fellow authors; the wonderful people at the ASA; my townspeople who stop me in the street to tell me how proud of me they are; the ACC and my solicitor friend who checked the copyright; and many more:

Including my dear, late friend, Beth, with whom I discussed my ideas for the book, almost on a daily basis. Sadly, I finished it too late for her to read it; my friend, Diane, who encouraged me to get my manuscripts off the wardrobe floor and do something about them; and my sister who is a slow but beautifully honest first reader. (I promise you: I am white-knuckled until she pronounces her verdict!)

If I haven’t named you: you know who you are; and I thank you from the depths of my being.

When I found a lump in my breast in December 2006, I had no idea that my subsequent, incredible journey would lead me to a silver medal in the Global eBook Awards for Historical Fiction Literature – Modern.

How thankful I am that Positives rule!
