It might take some Christmas magic to make this outback town feel like home...

Eager to make a real difference, English nurse Katie Brooks has travelled halfway around the world to work on an air ambulance in outback Queensland. She was prepared to be a fish out of water, but she hadn't anticipated how challenging the isolation would be. And she'd certainly never expected to be rescued on day one by Scott Collins: Coorah Creek's prodigal son, who might just be the best thing about the town.

Meeting Katie is the one bright spot in Scott's reluctant return to his childhood home. He has nothing but bad memories of growing up. He once vowed never to return, but now he needs to put old ghosts to rest, before beginning a new life as far away as he can get.

Katie is determined to stay. Scott is just as determined to leave. Can a small-town Christmas change their minds?
