(by) Lucy Walker

Lucy Walker is famous for her novels of Australian life, which have charmed readers throughout the world. A born storyteller, there is magic in her pen when she describes the great sheep and cattle stations of the West and North-west. She tells of the virile men who ride out "on the run" from dawn to dusk, and of the women who tend the homesteads and wait for their return. She describes vividly these isolated com-munities, with their vast acres of pasture and grazing ground, separated sometimes by hundreds of miles from their nearest neighbours. We feel the burning midday sun and revel in the coolness of the brilliant starlit nights; we are even conscious of the scent of burning gum leaves and the stirring of the horses in the shadows of the campfire. In this outstanding new novel of young Carey Fraser, left on the death of her father in the care of Oliver Reddin, owner of a prosperous neighbouring station, Lucy Walker gives us of her very best.

Serenity Makepeace knows a lot about whole-grain bread, but she doesn't know beans about business. She's expanding her natural foods emporium to sell local handicrafts by mail -- which she hopes will benefit her offbeat artist community in Witt's End, Washington. But she needs a crack financial adviser to make her dream a reality -- so she charms her way into the office of Caleb Ventress, a handsome wolf in conservative clothing. An expert in the art of the deal, Caleb isn't sure what to make of the unconventional Serenity -- but there's no doubt he's attracted. A pass from a paragon of conformity -- even one as handsome as Caleb -- is more than free-spirited Serenity bargained for. But when a lethal blackmailer threatens her plans and perhaps her life, she puts her whole trust in the man who seems her complete opposite -- and the net result might be true love.
