Billie’s the one woman Wyatt can’t have. And she’s the only one he wants. No one knows more secrets than a bartender. Just ask Wyatt Andrews. The manager of the Wattle Junction Hotel has plenty of his own and hears about everything that happens in the small town. Determined to make up for his past mistakes, there’s nothing he won’t do for his family or community. Which is why he reluctantly agrees to take part in a charity bachelor auction. Billie Winnick loves everything about Wattle Junction, the magical place she’s lived in all her life. In the wake of some surprising career news, Billie vows to start checking things off her bucket list. First thing: taking chances and asking out Wyatt, AKA the man of her dreams. The tax deductible donation is just a bonus. Thrown together by two meddling matriarchs for a romantic date, will Wyatt and Billie finally give in to their simmering chemistry?

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. That's a life lesson Alice Aspinall, a reality TV starlet trapped in a fake marriage, has learnt the hard way. When her carefully curated life explodes, she flees to the small town of Wattle Junction. Trying to reinvent herself-again-while learning to stand on her own two feet is complicated and so are her feelings for her hot, new lawyer. Owen James is a helper, despite what people say about his serious personality. He's recently moved home to set up his law firm with a focus on making sure everyone who needs legal advice gets it. Think of him as Legal Aid ... but with better biceps, two mortgages and a conscience that keeps him up at night. Another thing stealing his sleep? The sparkly, pretty newcomer who drives him up the wall while constantly surprising him. As Alice and Owen's attraction heats up and they get to know each other-and themselves-will they be able to see the reality right in front of them? Or will they remain blind to the truth?
