Little Girl Lost by Janet GoverThere’s more than one way to be lost.

A runaway at fifteen, Tia Walsh lost herself amid the squats and the gangs in the inner city. Years later she’s come to Coorah Creek seeking a new start. Sergeant Max Delaney senses that everything about Tia spells trouble. But that trouble is not all of her own making, and the dangerous past she tried to leave behind is hot on her heels.

Sarah Travers has returned home after three years of studying to find that her parents have been keeping a devastating secret. Her teenage crush, Pete Rankin, is facing his own struggle with a harsh reality that will take him away from the girl and the life that he loves.

But when a little girl goes missing in the harsh outback, all that matters is finding her safe.

Winner of the Romantic Novelists’ Association Epic Romantic Novel of the Year Award.

Janet says…

As a journalist, I covered many searches for people lost in the bush. There were times it was quite heartbreaking, especially when there was a child involved. I wanted to write a book about that, inspired by the haunting Johnny Ashcroft Ashdown song about a little boy lost which has never left me. But there are many ways by be lost – and it can be hard to find you way home back. Love, in all it’s guises, can help.
