The Postmistress: An Australian Historical Romance (The Women of Maiden's Creek Book 1)

Life on the Australian goldfields requires resilience, particularly for women. Adelaide Greaves is a widowed postmistress in the isolated mining town of Maiden's Creek who conceals a dark secret beneath her respectable appearance. When Caleb Hunt, a scarred veteran of the American Civil War, rescues her young son's life, a powerful connection develops between these two emotionally wounded people. However, Caleb came to Australia to escape his own traumatic memories and did not seek out a mysterious widow or the responsibilities of a town that needs him. As their relationship grows, someone from Adelaide's past reappears and threatens the life she has carefully built. Adelaide and Caleb must confront their deepest fears while racing against time and nature to protect what they hold dear. The story explores whether they can overcome their pasts and build a future together, set against the backdrop of the Australian bush.
