DARLENE ADAMS IS A FREE-SPIRITED WOMAN WHO IS BEAUTIFUL, CAN SHOOT, AND SHE DOES NOT BREAK A PROMISE...Set in Australia, through the southern most remote areas from east to west and back again...it pays to be prepared for the long drive.

Ruthlessly ditched after being in a relationship for twenty years, Darlene Adams removes herself by taking work on a remote grain and cattle property. Two years later, she's out of work but retains the Queensland title of Pistol Champion. Now her eyes are on the National Titles held in Western Australia.

En route, she learns about her missing favourite niece, tags along with a pair of long-line truckers who are on a mission themselves. Elated to learn her niece has been found by a remote police department, Darlene still has her eyes on the ultimate prize.

A life-changing interaction with a former SAS sniper provides the perfect opportunity to hone her long-barrel shooting skills. Not only has she acquired a target, she has become one. In a race against time, Darlene must find a way to return to New South Wales in time for Christmas with her niece. Never will she be one to break a promise.

"What an exceptional protagonist Darlene is! An absolutely riveting tale that captures the danger and expansiveness of the Australian land, while cultivating a mystery that kept me enthralled." Hannah, Readalot reviewer.
