Dear Reader,

This story is set in Broken Hill, which is often called the gateway to the Australian outback. It is alive with history, adventure and numerous outback artists capturing the unique beauty before them.

I certainly had a lot of fun getting to know Rose and Dave—as well as sorting out their obvious differences. Rose appears to be very much a city girl, while Dave is the typical Aussie bloke, who works and lives in this old mining town.

Rose slowly and methodically makes her way through her emotions, while I think Dave fell in love with Rose almost from the first moment he saw her—at least, that’s what he told me!

I hope you enjoy reading about Rose and Dave.

With warmest regards,

Lucy Clark
