Lost In Kakadu: Winner: Romantic Book of the Year

Together, they survived the plane crash. Now the real danger begins.

Socialite, Abigail Mulholland, has spent a lifetime surrounded in luxury... until her scenic flight plummets into the remote Australian wilderness. When rescue doesn't come, she finds herself thrust into a world of deadly snakes and primitive conditions in a landscape that is both brutal and beautiful. But trekking the wilds of Kakadu means fighting two wars-one against the elements, and the other against the magnetic pull she feels toward fellow survivor Mackenzie, a much younger man.

Mackenzie Steel had finally achieved his dreams of becoming a five-star chef when his much-anticipated joy flight turned each day into a waking nightmare. But years of pain and grief have left Mackenzie no stranger to a harsh life. As he battles his demons in the wild, he finds he has a new struggle on his hands: his growing feelings for Abigail, a woman who is as frustratingly na ve as she is funny.

Lost In Kakadu is a gripping action-adventure novel set deep in Australia's rugged Kakadu National Park. Winner of the Romantic Book of the Year in 2014, this full-length, stand-alone novel is an extraordinary story of endurance, grief, survival and undying love.

Praise for Lost In Kakadu:

"The author has beautifully captured the power of nature and love in healing and empowering the soul." ★★★★★ A Daily Romance

"I picked this book up based on a recommendation from a friend, she raved about how good it was, how great the characters were and almost incidentally how well written the sex scenes were, I was a bit sceptical, but I was wrong, so wrong, this book is all that and more. Survivors from a plane crash, they could not be more polar opposites, but circumstances make it so that they have to work together or they will die." ★★★★★ Denise Webber

"Best book I have read in a long time. Story line is fresh. The writing is excellent - I feel as though I was there with them. Covered all the realms of emotion. Everyone should read." ★★★★★ T Holleran.

"A totally amazing book that is full of plot twists and turns the entire way through. It has it all, romance, danger, excitement, fear, and a struggle for survival." ★★★★★ Janie S

"Reading addict but first review. This story was just wonderful. I laughed, cried and worried about them both. I will contemplate this story for a long while." ★★★★★ ProsiePosie

"The plot on this one has a few layers to it. It's an adventure, it's a 'lose yourself to find yourself', and it's a romance. I have to point out right away that I loved how this story is rough and gritty around the edges both in the backdrop and the characters. This isn't a glossed over and watered-down version of a story. It's very descriptive of what it might really be like, deprivations and emotional swings and all for someone who is lost and presumed dead in a jungle hundreds of miles from civilization." ★★★★★ Sophia Rose

"Wow An absolutely stunning suspense in a highly unusual setting, Lost in Kakadu was brilliant." ★★★★★ Brenda Telford
