An intriguing new rural romance from the best-selling author of The River Gum Cottage, here’s your chance to get your hands on a copy of The Willow Tree Wharf by Leonie Kelsall.

Samantha, owner of Settlers Bridge cafe Ploughs and Pies, is short on confidence and big on regrets. Married young to fill the void left by an unhappy childhood, she still works in the same small town where she grew up, too filled with self-doubt and insecurity to ever risk spreading her wings. Yet will the end of her abusive marriage force her to start anew?

City restaurateur Pierce di Angelis knows what it is to have his career and family ripped away. However, a chance encounter with the intriguing Samantha ignites his passion, and together they concoct a plan for a destination restaurant.

But, with their personalities like oil and water, will old hurts and hidden truths destroy the new business before it’s afloat?
