About this ebook
When the very sensible Charity meets the 'sworn-off-women-forever' Lachlan on a wild weekend at a Bachelors and Spinsters ball, what could possibly go wrong … or is there a chance it could all go impossibly, incredibly right?
Charity Farrugia is too sensible to believe she'll find love in a paddock.
After all, at thirty-four, she's the responsible one with the secure career and the mortgage. The one who raised her two sisters when their mother got sick. The cautious one with strong reservations about Faith and Hope spending a weekend in the country at a Bachelors and Spinsters Ball.
Lachlan MacKenzie might be divorced, but his cheating ex isn't why he avoids dating — only his brother Hamish knows that secret. But keeping an eye out for Hamish has become part of Lachlan's life, so he reluctantly permits himself to be dragged to the local B&S.
Charity has no intention of allowing her chaperone duties to be side-tracked. But meeting the intriguing farmer — who seems as reluctant as her to be at the B&S — might be an opportunity to prove to her sisters that she does have a wild side after all.
But will she discover that what happens in the country sometimes refuses to stay in the country?
'With complex and endearing characters who will steal your heart away, these unputdownable books will have you turning the pages long into the night.'
KARLY LANE, author of Time After Time
'Leonie Kelsall is my go-to when I want a gutsy rural fiction read.'
DARRY FRASER, author of The Prodigal Sister
'Leonie Kelsall's authentic rural voice shines as she explores some of life's bigger challenges in The Blue Gum Camp. The combination of realistic, relatable characters and a stunning South Australian setting will no doubt captivate readers and have them turning the pages long into the night.'
LISA IRELAND, author of The One and Only Dolly Jamieson

Purchased this book, but the book provided to read is not The Blue Gum Camp. Paid $18 for the wrong book to be provided. Very disappointed 😞
About the author
Raised initially in a tiny, no-horse town on South Australia's Fleurieu coast, then in the slightly more populated wheat and sheep farming land at Pallamana, Leonie is a country girl through and through. Growing up without a television, she developed a love of reading before she reached primary school, swiftly followed by a desire to write. Pity the poor teachers who received chapters of creative writing instead of a single page!
Leonie entertained a brief fantasy of moving to the big city (well, Adelaide), but within months the lure of the open spaces and big sky country summoned her home. A registered wildlife rescuer and carer, she now finds herself dividing her time between the lush Adelaide Hills, the location of her professional counselling practice, and the stark, arid beauty of the family farm at Pallamana, which provides both the setting for many of her stories and a refuge for the rescues that can't be released.
Follow her social media for an overload of the fluffy, fleecy, furred and feathered inhabitants of her home and heart.
Leonie is the bestselling author of The Farm at Peppertree Crossing, The Wattle Seed Inn, The River Gum Cottage, The Willow Tree Wharf and The Blue Gum Camp.
