The Red Heart

by Emily Hussey

Overview

Blue skies beckon with a chance to prove herself. The new job in Alice Springs is a start to Kathy's flying career, but she had no idea she was stepping into a dead man's shoes.

Alex knows the city-slicker is out of her depth in the unforgiving outback. He's conflicted between loyalty to a mate, and the increasing attraction to a woman who gives as good as she gets.

Heat comes from unexpected sources, shocking Kathy at how she reacts. Not half as shocked when she realises that she and her aircraft are about to become a pile of crumpled metal. Her heart is about to be smashed to pieces and her first time in love looks like being her last.

About the Author

Emily Hussey splits her time between work in Melbourne CBD and her home in Adelaide, South Australia. She has lived in several Australian cities, and spent a few years living in Alice Springs, the setting for the Red Centre series. While there, she also obtained her private pilot's licence, providing the technical background for Kathy Sullivan's flying exploits in the Centralian region. Although all of the characters in these stories are fictional, facets are recognisable in many of the people who still live there today. She enjoys the short story format, and has been published in local anthologies. Those stories are in varied genres, getting to know people and the world as seen through their eyes. She is authorised as a marriage celebrant by the Australian Attorney-General, and has married couples in many different locations, ranging from private gardens, to beaches to caves or rural locations. Many of her clients remain friends to this day.

Editorial Reviews

"I love your writing style, it's like being there. Wonderful." Ilona C

"Although romance isn't usually a genre I read a lot of, I really enjoyed this book. It kept me turning the page way past my bedtime, which is always a good sign! I thought the chemistry between Alex and Kathy was great, loved the characters of Chris, Mark and Sarah, and found the crash at the end to be very suspenseful." Alison B

"I was drawn to this book initially because I am also a pilot and have been to Alice Springs, though just passing through. I loved the descriptions of the country in that area and the technical aspects of flying ran very true for the time in which the novel was set, which must have been in the eighties.

I was soon drawn into the story and the characterisation of the people who featured. Alex was very difficult to like initially with his patronising attitude but he gradually became more personable. Perhaps there could be a follow up on Alex and Kathy’s life on the station? Sarah, Chris and Mark were great supporting characters. It finished up being a good read for anyone who likes an authentic story of the Australian outback." Barb P.
