When every dream you ever had has been battered into the dust, what do you do? Pick up the pieces and build a new life like Lara did.Disillusioned by the betrayals around her, Lara Burke shook off the dusty red dirt of Jinbaburra and Sturts Crossing, and fled to Melbourne to construct a new life. Now ten years later, matured, sexy, and successful, she has reluctantly returned. But her brother's death is not the only unexpected revelation she finds, and each new discovery brings its own complications. Can she shake off the dust for a second time or has fate given her a another chance at forgotten dreams?Lured by the bright lights of Sydney and hungry for the anticipated approval of his father, Jake left Sturts Crossing and Lara behind ten years ago to make his fortune. But after six years he realized he had only replaced a neglected childhood with an empty shell of high powered meetings, glamorous girlfriends, and shady deals. Disgusted with the path he had taken, he returned to Sturts Crossing and his own acquired property,Tambero. Only one thing would make his dream complete...Lara. But could he repair the damage he had done so long ago or was he destined to lose her forever?They had each taken different paths in life: hers-forced on her, his-dangled in front of him. Now they have a chance to regain dreams they thought long ago lost. Will they take it?Which has the tighter pull for her- a city life with law partnership or country life with Jake and a family?Can he recapture the dreams of a family with Lara or is it just another illusion?I tremendously enjoyed this book. Well developed characters with an interesting plot provided several hours of reading enjoyment. I found myself laughing, smiling,sympathizing, and crying throughout the story. I would recommend to anyone who loves a good romantic read.Highly recommended! Excellent read!5/5 stars  Can you really go back and recapture the past?
