Through the Fire - Softcover

Robust country girl Emily Flanagan has been raised in the rugged Dargo High Plains by her mountain cattleman father, but despite the beauty of her High Country heritage she feels lost in life. Trapped in an unhappy marriage, her music-star brother is being consumed in a world of drugs, money and wild women, whilst her father risks losing his family's livelihood.

Emily's problems aren't helped when she finds herself falling in love with the 'enemy', a government man, Luke Bradshaw. As the bill to evict the cattlemen from the mountains is about to be passed, their love seems doomed. And when a savage bushfire sweeps through the mountains, everything Emily knows is endangered.

A young woman hovers between life and death in intensive care. When she regains consciousness, she finds her world in ruins. Her unfaithful husband has finally destroyed their marriage and will fight her for their children. Her family heritage faces extinction as a new government bill threatens to evict the mountain cattlemen from the high country which they have tended for generations.

But Emily Flanaghan is a fighter and vows to help her family win back the life they loved. As the Flanaghans dig themselves in for war, and bushfires rage through the Australian Outback, Emily will face a terrifying challenge - and passionate attraction to a man she dare not let herself love.
