Ally Pierson's life is pretty ordinary. She keeps to herself and keeps her head down as she drudges through her boring job. She hasn't had any excitement in her life since six years ago, when she spent some time in Australia, but she's gotten used to her routine, finding comfort in the mundane.
When Ally unexpectedly loses her job, all of that changes. Unhappy that she hasn't lived up to her dreams for herself, Ally returns to Australia, where she embarks on a journey that puts both her heart and her life on the line.
Led by a ruggedly handsome guide, Ally takes an excursion to Ayers Rock, but it isn't until the trip is almost over that the adventure begins. The unlikely pair is stranded in the outback after their plane crashes, cast into an unknown wilderness that pits them against dingoes, flashfloods, mysterious forces of nature-and their growing feelings for each other.
A delightful departure from the mold of many contemporary romance novels on the market today, Magic in the Outback is a powerful story about self-discovery, personal triumph, and the beauty of a love that is allowed to blossom before it blooms.
About the Author: Elyce Peterson is a processor for an aircraft insurance company who has a nomadic spirit and lifestyle. A current resident of Dallas, Texas, she has lived in Utah, Virginia, California, Nevada, and Idaho and spent eighteen months in Australia serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Peterson brings her passion for Australia and her love for the landscape to life in her debut novel, Magic in the Outback, which carries readers through the land down under on an adventure full of action, mystery, and unlikely romance.
Inspired by the sentimental, wholesome beauty she saw in everything from the books she enjoyed as a child to her favorite "feel-good" movies and family-friendly television programs, Peterson's work is clean, crisp, and sensible-a charming alternative to most modern romance novels on the mainstream market.
