Cockatoo Cove (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781761069628)

Delightfully packed with new friends and loves, family, and community spirit, this new rural romance from the bestselling author of Wallaby Lane is absolutely charming.

'We're big fans of Maya Linnell's brand of rural romance . . . The challenges of country policing, mental health, including anxiety and post-natal psychosis, and dealing with juvenile crime all receive scrutiny, giving genuine depth to an otherwise page-turning read.' Australian Country on Wallaby Lane

Maggie West has worked her entire adult life to prove herself, establishing a successful cattle stud instead of following her father into the crayfishing industry, though it's never enough to stop local speculation about her family's holdings. And with her teenage daughter close to veering off the rails, she knows all too well that money doesn't provide immunity against heartache or hardship.

Since landing in South Australia's picturesque Limestone Coast, Scottish winemaker Fergus Abernathy has gone from strength to strength. But it isn't just the awards or his stint as an unlikely social media superstar that's keeping him in the district; if he can put down roots, perhaps he can persuade his family to join him Down Under.

Missing his family back in Scotland, Fergus looks a little enviously at the close-knit West family, until a shocking phone call changes everything.

Misunderstandings, scams and long-withheld secrets create roadblocks for Maggie and Fergus, and with a community fundraiser hanging in the balance, it seems they're never destined to be in the right place at the right time.

Set in stunning wine country and featuring border collies, beaches and baking, Cockatoo Cove is an exceptional rural romance showcasing the richness of rural life and its generous community spirit with fun, humour and love.
