BLURB:
She shouldn’t want to stay. He doesn’t want to convince her to go.
Under the threat of widespread flooding, Emory Mayfield must put her dreams of leaving Gardner Creek on hold and evacuate her tiny cottage. But in a town where everyone knows her name but no one says hello, there’s only one dry place left for her to go. And the only thing worse than being flooded in with her ex-boyfriend’s dad is falling for him.
In his mid-forties, Byron Gardner knows his time on the farm is limited. But he doesn’t like change any more than he likes feeling lonely in his big, empty farmhouse. Until that change is Emory, brightening his life and warming his bed.
Temptation is rising faster than the floodwaters, and staying dry might end up costing Emory everything.
Higher Ground is a contemporary romance set in a small Australian town. It’s a story of forbidden, all-consuming love, following your dreams, and making tough choices.
