An unravelling silken scarf ... mysterious gold ... a love that refuses to fade. An emotional and unforgettable contemporary romance set in Australia.
In the heat of the Australian tropics, Melita Van Der Meeliko is on the verge of everything she's ever wanted. Her swimwear line is starting to make waves, and she's ready to open the boutique-teahouse she's dreamed of.
When she stumbles upon a forgotten building with haunting beauty and mysterious history, she knows it's the one - and she wants Luke Harvey to do the renovations. He walked away once before, leaving only silence and shattered dreams. Shaking off her feelings for him will be another challenge altogether.
Down-to-earth tradesman Luke Harvey has dreams of his own, determined to be a leader in sustainable green buildings. When Melita offers him the chance to showcase his skills, his heart-and their past-give him no peace.
Deciding to risk it all, Luke takes on the project. As sparks reignite and old wounds resurface, the building's dark secrets begin to emerge-putting Melita in danger and dragging them both into a mystery laced with greed, betrayal... and gold. Luke will do anything to keep her safe, even if it means tearing open the very scars that made him leave in the first place.
With Melita's life hanging in the balance, the lies he told himself for years won't hold anymore. Because Melita isn't choosing between love and ambition-she's choosing both. And she wants him.
Will the silk scarf that's entwined itself around their lives stop unravelling, and be enough to bring them back together?
