Outback Christmas

The timing's terrible ... Fleeing a life her wealthy father planned – including the groom he picked out – Perth midwife Gabi Hudson heads off-grid to the small and charming town of Wirralong in the outback. She's hoping for a fresh start and to live a life of purpose while working in a local baby creche during her friend's maternity leave. A cute cottage is included, but the hot cowboy setting up an unusual holiday display is a heart-pounding surprise. Texas cowboy Cormack Callaghan has been travelling the world working odd jobs, until a lucrative hobby changes his fortunes.

Bea Fraser never thought she'd return to Wirralong, but when her grandmother breaks a hip, the devoted schoolteacher rushes back to help. She's not expecting to bump into Jaxon Hardy – her quiet, brainy childhood classmate who's now an Army Intelligence officer, on leave. Jaxon's home for the holidays to care for his gran, recently moved into Riverbend Nursing Home after an accidental fire in her kitchen. Bea and Jaxon quickly bond over their shared love for their grandmothers ... who, unfortunately, can't stand each other.

Jack Bodie – JB to most – doesn't do relationships or Christmas cheer. Raised a ward of the state, he clawed his way from city streets to cattle-station success, turning forgotten land into million-dollar enterprises. Now he's bought property bordering Max O'Connor's farm – his maybe-brother – and plans to uncover the truth about the family that abandoned him. With the holidays approaching and long-buried truths coming to light, JB must decide: walk away like always – or take a chance on love, family and a future he never thought he deserved.
