Cotton Field Dreams is the first book in the rural romance series, Mindalby Outback Romance - a group writing venture of seven authors that I organised.

My story heat level is sweet / sensual.

Mindalby, a small town, a community, a home. But when the mill that supports the local cotton farmers and employs many of the town's residents closes unexpectedly, old tensions are exposed and new rifts develop. Everyone is affected and some react better than others, but one thing is certain: living on the edge of the outback means they have to survive together, or let their town die.

His family farm is under threat of bankruptcy. Her family name is tarnished by fraud. And Mindalby could soon become a ghost town.

To clear her uncle’s name, Sasha Bernstein follows a lead to a remote outback community. After several months working for the largest employer in town, she’s failed to uncover proof the wife of the mill owner was involved.

When the business closes its gates overnight, the boss goes into hiding and suspicion soon falls on Sasha as the townspeople seek someone to blame. She meets Cole, a single dad who loves the remote region and does his best to give back to the community. But he’s looking for someone stable, not a woman shrouded in secrets.

And certainly not one with a target painted on her back.
