Summary
At thirty, Daenerys Targaryen had the million-dollar Sydney Harbour view, the fast-track trajectory to a top-tier law partnership, and bone-deep, suffocating burnout. Between picking up the pieces of a highly public betrayal by her ex-husband and her ex-best friend, and realising she was missing her sons' childhoods, Dany is ready to snap.
A late-night internet rabbit hole leads her to a magazine article about a heritage railway in a misty, high-altitude farming town called Ironbark Ridge.
On a complete impulse, Dany packs up her high heels, her two high-energy young boys, and her three highly uncooperative cats (named after the fierce dragons from Sword of Thrones) and heads north for a total tree change. She buys a run-down, historic Queenslander on five acres of red soil. She expects peace, hard work, and a lot of fresh air.
What she doesn't expect is Jon Snow—a quiet, fourth-generation local farmer with dirt on his hands, deep ties to the local steam trains, and a family that knows exactly what it means to put down roots.
