The Harper Family OUtback Romances

A heartwarming Australian Outback Romance Series

 

The Harper Family Outback Romance Series

Set against the vast skies and red dirt heart of outback Australia, the Harper Outback Romance series follows three siblings who leave the life they knew and discover that love, belonging, and home don’t always look the way you expect.

At its heart, this is a series about family — the kind you’re born into and the kind you choose — and about the courage it takes to stop running long enough to let love change you.

Book One: The Year She Stayed
Louise Harper only planned to go west for a year. Burnt out, heartbroken, and searching for space, she accepts a remote teaching position in the tiny outback town of Arakayoon. What she doesn’t plan on is the way the land gets under her skin — or the quiet, steady cattleman who shows her that staying doesn’t have to mean losing herself.
A story about healing, community, and choosing a life that feels true, The Year She Stayed is a slow burn outback romance where love grows alongside resilience.

Book Two: Where Two Rivers Meet
Sam Harper has everything under control — a high powered legal career, clear goals, and a future mapped out down to the last detail. A short trip to Arakayoon for her sister’s wedding is meant to be just that: short.
Instead, Sam finds herself drawn into the complexities of the land, a moral crossroads she never expected, and a man who challenges her idea of success and certainty.
Where Two Rivers Meet is a grounded, emotionally rich romance about integrity, belonging, and the unexpected places we call home.

Book Three: Coming Soon
The youngest Harper sibling, Blaze, has always been a rolling stone — working where the sun is warm, loving freely, never staying long enough to be tied down. When he returns to Arakayoon, he doesn’t expect to stop moving.
Then he sees her.

Together, the Harper Outback Romance series offers deeply felt love stories, vivid Australian settings, and characters who linger long after the final page — perfect for readers who love emotionally grounded romance with a strong sense of place.
