In this small town romance set in rural Australia, a bookstore owner must choose between the bull rider who broke her heart seven years ago, or the cowboy who can give her everything she lost.

HONEY
It’s been seven years since I last laid eyes on Colton Hayes. To the small town of Gumtree Valley, he’s the bull riding homegrown celebrity. To me, he’s the boy who broke my heart and abandoned me to deal with a heartbreaking secret alone. Now he’s back. But it’s okay, because I have a new life, one with a kind-hearted cowboy who’s willing to give me the life I came so close to having. Except Colton’s return is showing the cracks in my relationship and the sparks which had once burnt bright between us have reignited with a passion I never thought imaginable...

COLTON
When I left my life in Gumtree Valley, I swore I’d never return. Yet here I am, seven years later, helping my brother on our family’s horse ranch after my dad’s accident. The bulls, the buckle bunnies, my name in lights, it was all enough to distract me from what I’d left behind. But now I’m back, watching her start the life she’d always wanted with my brother, I’m starting to wonder what the hell I was thinking to ever walk away from her. I’d been the one to break her heart, determined to live my dream. This time, it’s my heart getting broken when I discover the secret Honey has kept from me...
