Where the Wattle Still Burns is a sweeping Christian historical romance set against the rugged beauty and lawless promise of Ballarat, Victoria, during Australia's 1860 gold rush. In a land where fortune glitters and morality falters, Charlotte Sinclair—a devoted woman of faith and compassion—finds herself torn between duty and desire when she crosses paths with Blake Malone, a feared bushranger with a haunted past.

Blake is a man shaped by violence and betrayal, a fugitive running from both the law and himself. But when he saves a group of orphaned children from a brutal fate and brings them to Charlotte's struggling mission, their worlds collide in a way neither could have foreseen. As Charlotte nurtures the innocent and ministers to broken souls, she sees glimpses of God's redemptive grace in Blake—and a heart that longs for more than revenge.

As whispers of Blake's crimes threaten the fragile trust they've built, Charlotte must wrestle with her convictions: Can a man so deeply scarred truly be transformed by grace? And will the townspeople—and her own heart—allow room for the miracle of redemption?

Through trials of faith, courtroom reckonings, and the slow rebuilding of community, Where the Wattle Still Burns is a stirring tale of forgiveness, second chances, and the healing power of sacrificial love. Blending rich historical detail with emotional depth and spiritual truth, this novel is a powerful testament to the God who redeems even the most broken pasts—and brings hope where the wattle still burns.
