Release day: The Grazier’s Son

Today is the official release of The Grazier’s Son by Cathryn Hein (ebook, print and audio, Harlequin). Here’s the blurb:
When taking up an unexpected inheritance with an unhappy past, newcomer Stirling is daunted to find a town set against him. Except, perhaps, for one sassy, big-hearted woman, who is willing to give him a chance to prove he belongs. Pitch-perfect rural romance from popular Australian author Cathryn Hein.
When helicopter pilot Stirling Hawley travels to Grassmoor in Victoria’s lush Western District to claim an inheritance, he doesn’t expect to face a town that hates him. Nor does he anticipate being saved from near-death by glamorous vintage clothing designer Darcy Sloane. Or that she’ll take a personal interest in his recovery. But Grassmoor and Westwind, the historic mansion Stirling inherited from the father he never knew, prove full of surprises.
The more Stirling digs into his father’s life, the more uneasy he becomes. Behind Dougal Kildare’s respectable stock agent and farmer veneer was a man of secrets. While the fraud that devastated the community and led to Dougal’s tragic death is one, there are others. And such things never stay buried forever…
As Stirling’s suspicions about Dougal’s death grow, danger creeps ever closer. Until it’s not only Stirling’s life in peril but the woman he’s come to love.
Cathryn dropped by today to tell us a little about this book:
It’s been a long time between releases, and I’m thrilled that The Grazier’s Son is finally out in the world. The Grazier’s Son is a contemporary rural romance in which an injured helicopter pilot travels to far western Victoria to claim an inheritance from the father he never knew, only to discover a town that apparently hates him, a heritage filled with secrets and lies, and a gorgeous clothing designer who makes him long for a life he feels he doesn’t deserve. It was very loosely inspired by a true story that I came across several years ago while on a road-trip through New South Wales, but I’ve twisted it. And had a wonderful time doing so.  There’s intrigue, LOTS of lovely romance, and gorgeous, vivid characters that you’ll adore. I think Stirling and Darcy are my best hero and heroine to date. They just leap off the page. As for the ending … expect drama, happy tears, and lots of smiles!
