Author Talk ‘The Ironbark Promise’ with Leonie Kelsall
A page-turning new rural romance from the bestselling author of The Path Through the Coojong Trees. Jemma plays to win—but could love cost her everything? Bestselling author Léonie Kelsall returns with an irresistible new romance that blends slow-burn chemistry with her signature heartfelt style. In The Ironbark Promise readers are invited back to the beloved town of Settlers Bridge. At the centre of the story is Jemma Di Angelis, a fiercely independent and highly successful lawyer whose fastpaced city life screeches to a halt when a series of disturbing threats force her into hiding. Intent on regaining control, Jemma heads to the last place she wants to be – the quiet backwater of Settlers Bridge. She insists her stay will be temporary – just long enough to regroup and plan her next move.
What she doesn’t plan on is Hamish MacKenzie, a rugged, unpretentious farmer with a secret artistic side. From their first encounter an undeniable spark stirs between them. When Jemma’s situation turns from unsettling to dangerous, the barriers between them begin to crack and Hamish reveals a side of himself that no one expected: gentle, steadfast, protective and deeply sincere. As their unlikely partnership grows into something far more powerful, Jemma faces a choice that will reshape not only her future but her understanding of trust, vulnerability and love.
Come and hear Leonie talk about her new book, ask her a question about her novel or her writing practice, enjoy a cuppa and some light refreshments. You’ll also have the opportunity to buy the book and get it signed!
