Love by the Jewel Sea

A small-town romance novella. (Originally published in Love in a Sunburnt Land anthology). Frankie knew one thing. She'd return to the city when the job was done. When Frankie grasps an opportunity to advance her career, it means driving from the Gold Coast to North Queensland to sign off on a new development. Close to her destination, an accidental meeting with local farmer Simon has her arriving in a manner completely unlike anything she is used to. Tense and frustrated, her brief stay is extended, when all she wants is to do her job and head back to the city. Will the serenity of the tiny beachside community full of local characters change her perspective on what is important in life and remind her of her ethics, or will it send her running in the opposite direction?
