Growing up in England, Meriel discovers she has a talent for art and wants to earn her living as an artist, but her mother forces her to become an accountant. She’s good at that, too, but her heart isn’t in it. When she wins some money, her lifelong dream suddenly becomes possible, and she quits her job to buy a house in country Australia where she can combine her love of the outdoors with her work as a commercial artist. In Australia, Ben has dreams, too, but they’ve been on hold in the years since his wife’s death. When he inherits some land he finds hope again, but newly-arrived Meriel buys the piece of land next to his, and it’s crucial to his plans. When they meet, sparks fly between them, but the trouble is, he enjoys his encounters with her. And she’s not indifferent to him. After she saves his life, the barriers between them start to fall, one by one. But Ben’s business partner has been cooking the books and leaving Ben in serious financial trouble. Can he find a way out of this mess or will he be dragged into bankruptcy through no fault of his own? Together, Ben and Meriel have a chance to make their dreams come true. But will one ruthless man ruin everything they’ve worked for?

About the Author:
Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia in 1973, but loves to return to England and visit her family. She has two adult daughters and lives with her husband in a spacious waterfront home.
Review:
Stifled by her overbearing mother, Meriel finds a kindred spirit in her grandfather who teaches her to be self-sufficient and encourages her artistic nature. Forced to become an accountant, Meriel nonetheless continues her art studies. When her grandfather dies, she leaves England for Australia, where she can escape her mother and pursue her dream of being an artist even as she continues to work as an accountant. Client Ben Elless is a handsome man with no business acumen. Although she is attracted to him, he says all the wrong things. Meriel then wins the lottery, which enables her to become a full-time artist and move to the country. The place she has her heart set on buying turns out to be adjacent to property Ben inherited. Now neighbors, Meriel comes to the rescue when Ben has an accident, and, finally, they start to fall in love. But will Ben's business troubles destroy their chance at happiness? Featuring wonderfully noble characters, Jacobs' gentle romance will greatly please her fans. -- Booklist, September 15th, 2010
