Description
'an enjoyable read by a new author. One to watch!' Katie Fforde 'A fantastic sense of place, a traditional romance, contemporary issues and a nice touch of mystery.' Sue Moorcroft. Is running away ever the answer? Tamara Harding left the UK to join family in Australia, but more importantly, to put ten thousand miles between her and her ex, Bradley Cox. She is soon drawn in to the small community of Brewer Creek where she becomes the coordinator for an old fashioned Friendship Tree - a chart telling people who they can call on in times of trouble. As she vows to start over, she meets Jake Manning - and life gets more complicated than she could ever have imagined. Jake is the direct competitor for the family business, and a man with a dark secret, and Tamara struggles to fight her attraction to him as she deals with secrets of her own and an ex who refuses to give up. When danger descends on Brewer Creek in the form of Jake's own past, Tamara soon realises the Friendship Tree does a lot more than organise fundraising events and working bees; it has the power to unite an entire town. But will Tamara see past the complications and allow herself a happy ending with Jake? Or will she run away again? The Friendship Tree is a touching and uplifting women's contemporary romance story from British writer, Helen J. Rolfe.
