COMP CLOSED: WIN ‘The Ironbark Promise’ by Leonie Kelsall

This week, we’re giving away three copies of The Ironbark Promise by Leonie Kelsall. City lawyer Jemma Di Angelis retreats to Settlers Bridge for safety, only to clash with rugged farmer Hamish MacKenzie. As danger follows her into the countryside, unexpected chemistry grows, forcing Jemma to face both buried secrets and the possibility of new love. Here’s the blurb:

A page-turning new rural romance from the bestselling author of The Path Through the Coojong Trees.

When a series of threats force fiercely independent lawyer Jemma Di Angelis to step away from her high-flying career, the last place she wants to be is Settlers Bridge. But her retreat will be brief; she's only staying long enough to plan her next move.

Laid-back local farmer Hamish MacKenzie has a roguish charm, a bad-boy reputation and an artistic soul he keeps carefully hidden. From the moment he meets Jemma, sparks fly – he sees an uptight city slicker and she sees a shallow womaniser.

But when Jemma finds herself in real danger, Hamish reveals a different side – unexpectedly gentle, infuriatingly protective and nothing like she imagined. As loyalties are tested, Jemma must decide if she's willing to risk her heart with a man who has made a habit of keeping his hidden.
