Koori Hearts: A Blak Romance Novel of Love, Country, and Community

Some loves wait for you to come home.

Nyah Boorun left Yarraboo at seventeen and swore she would never look back. Ten years later, she returns to her grandfather's bedside—and to everything she ran from. The river. The community. The man she left behind.

Kade Mirra never left. He stayed to raise his daughter, to care for Country, and to fight for the land his ancestors have protected for thousands of years. He built walls around his heart for good reason. He did not expect Nyah to come back. He did not expect to still want her.

When a developer threatens the sacred clearing at the heart of their community, Nyah and Kade are thrown together in a fight that will test everything—their trust, their courage, and the love they have both been too afraid to name.

Koori Hearts is a warm, grounded Blak romance about love, Country, and community. It is a story about coming home, about fighting for what matters, and about two people who discover that belonging is not a place—it is a choice you make every day.

Perfect for readers of contemporary romance, rural romance, small-town romance, First Nations fiction, and diverse love stories.

Includes a glossary of Koori terms, a reader's guide for book clubs, and an author's note on Country.
