Romantic science fiction western about family and belonging.
She wanted a hideaway. She found a home.
Mary’s worst decision yet, stealing from corrupt law enforcement, could land her in jail long enough to grow old. She flees the spaceport streets for a remote rural outpost hoping for refuge with Finn, the only person she trusts in the world. Despite the strangeness of agricultural life and her prejudice against the family that abandoned her surrogate brother, she finds a chance for love as well as safe haven while hiding the truth behind her visit to the farm.
Now she must decide whether to be honest with her found family and risk losing her last chance for a real home, or be exposed as a thief when the law catches up to her.

An early excerpt was published in Embark Literary Journal.
Originally, this story was set in the mythical Old West but when I began to pull it from my head and create a novel, I felt it needed a science fiction setting. Many parts of the romance have lived in my imagination for decades but I got to know Mary, her life on the spaceport streets, and her reaction to rural life (including horses) as I wrote the story. It also pulls from the historical rabbit plague that ravaged Australia.
