The Iron Bark Ark: Australian Outback Suspense Romance

By Aeliana Spell

The Iron-Bark Ark The water took her home. The truth might take her life. When the levee snapped and the Gidyea flood swallowed the Belatone homestead, Tess was left with nothing but a twelve-ton relic of her father's past: the Iron-Bark Ark. It was supposed to be a sanctuary, a masterpiece of timber and engineering designed to survive the worst the basin could throw at it. Instead, it's become a floating target. As the silver silt settles over a ruined landscape, Tess isn't just fighting the elements, she's fighting Aegis Engineering, the corporate giant that engineered the disaster to bury the truth. One man holds the key to the conspiracy. Jack Lawson was the Lead Engineer who signed the shear-stress overrides. To the world, he's a traitor. To Tess, he's the only man who knows how to keep the Ark afloat. Forced into a desperate alliance, they must navigate a sea of mud and secrets to find the digital evidence that can clear Jack's name and save the Belatone legacy. In the crushing silence of the aftermath, romance isn't found in grand gestures. It's found in the steady grip on a Gain-Lever and the shared heat of a single tin of coffee. But as the ghost of Aegi" circles closer, Tess and Jack must decide: will they sink with the secrets of the basin, or will the Iron-Bark Ark be the foundation of a new world?
