By the Billabong

Erin O'Byrne returns to Ceann Mara, her family's remote property on the Darling River, seeking peace after a painful marital breakup. Camping by the tranquil billabong, she hopes the solitude of the Australian bush will help her heal. While exploring the land, Erin discovers a long-forgotten memorial to a World War I soldier. Her sister, Cat, and father, Tom, who have been researching the family's history, are thrilled by the find and eager to uncover its secrets. But Erin's journey takes an unexpected turn when reclusive Miles McKenzie sets up camp beside her. Though initially guarded, she and Miles gradually develop a friendship that sparks a powerful attraction. Her family, however, worries she's moving too fast after her breakup. As Erin struggles with her growing feelings and their concerns, she must decide whether to follow her heart - or listen to the doubts that surround her.
