The Ironbark Promise

*The Ironbark Promise* by Rachael Johns is a heartfelt rural romance that draws you straight into the rhythms of country life, where community ties run deep and second chances don’t come easy. With the same assured storytelling that won readers of *The Path Through the Coojong Trees*, Johns delivers a warm, emotionally rich read that’s hard to put down.

Set against a rugged Australian landscape, the story follows a woman at a crossroads, returning to a place that knows her history a little too well. As old friendships resurface and long-held promises are tested, she must decide what she’s willing to risk for love, belonging and a future that feels like her own.

Perfect for fans of Australian romance novels, small-town fiction and contemporary women’s fiction with strong themes of family and community.

Add it to your shelf and settle in for a story that feels like coming home.
