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 naïve as she is funny.

What readers are saying about 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
