Under Kakadu Skies (The Wild Australia Stories #11)

Compelling new romantic suspense from the rugged heart of Kakadu, by the bestselling author of Currawong Creek.

After a painful betrayal, Sydney wildlife biologist Jo Reid takes a job in Kakadu National Park, hoping to escape from the rawness of her shattered life. Soon Jo is exploring vast floodplains, escarpments and crocodile-haunted waterways — a landscape as beautiful as it is unforgiving.

She finds herself drawn to Kai Walker, a solitary ranger whose quiet strength unsettles her in ways she didn’t expect. But the deeper Jo ventures into Kai’s world, the more she senses that something is terribly wrong in the remote country they patrol.

When events take a dangerous turn, Jo is forced to confront both the shadows closing in and the truths she’s been running from. In the end she must decide how much she’s willing to risk — for the wild country she’s come to love, and the man at the heart of it.

Set beneath the vast skies and ancient escarpments of the Top End, Under Kakadu Skies is a thrilling story about trust, courage and the healing power of wild places.
