Unfamiliar Territory
Mac Stephens' last birthday was spectacular, for all the wrong reasons. Being unceremoniously dumped with no explanation and then fired from a job she actually enjoyed on the same day that she turned thirty, was enough to send her running straight back home and into the arms of her adoring father. But that was six months ago, and it's time she moved on. Mackinley River Downs has been in the Stephens family for generations, however, it's now also part of a government investigation and Felix Anderson, the broodingly handsome resident manager is forced to do the one thing he swore he'd never do, ask the owner for help. In a dodgy hotdog induced delirium Mac agrees she owes her father a favour and takes off to the other side of the world to help save a business she knows absolutely nothing about, in surroundings she's never seen anything like before. Sparks fly and frustrations burn on the search for common ground in unfamiliar territory.Complete

I don't want to take a person on who just decides it's too much hassle a few days or weeks in and just . . . Ghosts me." He finishes. There's a definite challenge there.
