Set in Australia, through the southernmost remote areas from east to west and back again, it pays to be prepared for the long drive.Ruthlessly ditched after being in a relationship for twenty years, Darlene Adams removes herself from public appearances to rediscover herself by working on a remote grain and cattle property. Two years later, she’s out of work but retains the Queensland title of Pistol Champion. Now her eyes are on the National Titles being held in Western Australia. Her beloved V8 Jeep gets transported to Perth in a sealed container and awaits her arrival while she drives a motorhome across the vast rugged land of Australia. Wrapping her slender hands around the prized gold-plated trophy is her goal. After befriending two long-haul truck drivers along the arduous bitumen trek, Darlene inadvertently becomes a guardian for not one but two rescued young women who have been abducted. The last thing she had in mind was babysitting. A life-changing interaction with a former SAS sniper provides the perfect opportunity to hone her long-barrel shooting skills. Not only has she acquired a target, she has become one. In a race against time, Darlene must return to New South Wales in time for Christmas. Never ever will she be the one to break a promise.
