Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

THE GOLDFIELDS HEAT, is a saucy, warm and deeply romantic Australian Outback novel set against the ancient, golden, two-billion-year-old landscape of the WA Goldfields, one of the most dramatic and least-written regions in the country, where the iron-banded rock catches the light at angles that make the world look like it was made for exactly this moment. When Perth project manager Zara Flynn reads a real estate listing over toast on a Tuesday morning, historic shearing quarters, Merindah township, motivated vendor, she puts in an offer before lunch and resigns from her job before the week is out. She has been going in the wrong direction efficiently for eight years and the exhaustion of it has finally pointed her somewhere true. What she finds at the end of the sealed road and the station track is a 1923 stone and jarrah building whose bones are excellent and whose potential is everything she's been looking for, and Callum Ryder, the third-generation station owner from Mirra Station fifteen kilometres north, who drives past the shearing quarters every time he goes to town and who, on the day Zara arrives, drives past and then drives back. Callum brings her a bore part in week two because he knows she'll need it and because it is the most legitimate pretext he can construct for returning to a woman he has been thinking about since the first Monday. He has dark eyes and the warm, direct quality of a man who has been in the Goldfields long enough that the landscape has made him honest about everything. He has been careful since his marriage ended because the Goldfields was incompatible with the life his wife needed, and he has told himself that careful is what the station requires. Then Zara Flynn arrives and kisses him in her shed in week one and he stops being careful about anything. From the shed in week one to the dinner she cooks him in month two to the proposal in the kitchen on a Tuesday morning while she has her hands in bread dough, Everything Built on Excellent Bones is the most combustible, most saucy and most specific love story in the series, a story about a woman who bought a building she'd never seen because the bones were right and who found that the same bones were in the man and the community and the landscape, and a man who drove past and turned around and has been turning back toward her ever since. Spanning five years of Goldfields seasons, from the January heat to the June cold to the October wildflowers in the breakaways, and taking Zara and Callum from the shed in week one through the guesthouse opening and the muster and the proposal and the wedding and Henry who names the gold before he names the dawn, this novel is the specific, saucy, completely irresistible story of two people who found each other in the oldest landscape on earth and built the best thing either of them had ever built.
