Don't read this book if you want slow and calm.

Following the author's highly successful series, the Stargazer Ranch of Montana, Starlit Skies is book two about the Stormcloud Station in Australia.

Skylar Williams has escaped her abusive partner and is now working as a successful chef at her family's luxury eco resort in North Queensland. Hearing frightened cries from a cabin, Skylar Investigates and discovers a guest beating his wife. When the man turns on Skylar, she's saved from a serious beating by her brother. The guest, an extremely wealthy man, is arrested and threatens Skylar for interfering.

Flying back from Cairns where Skylar and Senior Constable Nash were witnesses in the court case, their helicopter is shot out of the sky, crashing somewhere in the bush. A deadly cat and mouse chase follows, with Skylar and Nash being hunted by a gun wielding psychopath.

For years Skylar has relied only upon herself. Now they have to work together as a team and Skylar must trust Nash to lead her to safety. Just when they think they're going to be safe, the unimaginable happens.

This is a nerve wracking thriller/romance with drastic changes in the plot occurring without warning.

A gripping read which I found hugely enjoyable.
