Romance

Karly Lane's page-turning, absolutely delightful 25th rural romance from this bestselling author with over 600,000 books sold.

Lottie Fairchild has two loves: history and, well, history. She's fascinated by the legends of love and curses handed down through her own family.

Owner of a successful antique shop in her small country town Banalla, Lottie is on the committee that is about to launch a new festival celebrating the town history and their local figure of fame, gentleman bushranger Jack McNally.

Altogether, Lottie is happy. Mostly. But when festival guest speaker Professor Damian Loxley arrives, a week early and on a motorbike, Lottie is caught off guard.

As a professor of history and author of books, Damian arrives keen to research Jack McNally and one of history's cold cases: the mysterious disappearance of a colonial lady. But is this search going to be like looking for a needle in a haystack? And then he meets Lottie Fairchild . . . and she just happens to be the perfect local guide.

Little do they realise what treasures they'll discover and truths they'll unearth, or that curses can still be found in both the past and the present. Ultimately, can they both find happiness?
