Romance

A delightful and heartwarming new rural romance by the bestselling author of Brumby's Run and The Mallee Girl. Local vet Jana Malinski is content with her quiet life in Rivertown helping her sister run a wombat sanctuary on their family's serene property by the Murray River. But Jana's routine is up-ended after a chance encounter with handsome accountant and single dad Mark - the man who broke her heart in high school. Jana has never forgiven him for the tragic consequences of his betrayal, and when it turns out he doesn't remember her at all, she hates him even more. Offered the opportunity to run Wildfell Park, the town zoo that has fallen into disrepair, Jana must push past her hostility to save the local landmark and home to countless native and exotic animals, all with their own unique quirks and entertaining personalities. But working alongside Mark every day isn't easy, and Jana can't shake the undeniable attraction between them. While she fights her feelings, a new danger emerges - one that could threaten the existence of Wildfell Park and Jana's dreams of building a life with Mark, the man she hopes has truly changed . . . Set in the gorgeous river country of South Australia and with a thrilling enemies-to-lovers romance at its core, The Rivertown Vet is a heartfelt and charming tale about community, forgiveness and not allowing your past to define your future.
