    About this ebook

    For Nic the mechanic 'grease monkey extraordinaire' life is becoming a journey of stories: good, bad, happy and sad. When Siobhan McConnell beautiful, dynamic, but shadowed by secrets - hurtles into his world, Nic's life bounces between tragedy, romance and thriller. Framed for armed robbery, it seems he's on the brink of losing everything until he's offered the 'job-of-a-lifetime' in the remote township of Gimbly, where very little is what it seems to be. Nic, haunted and supported by his past, attempts to uncover the truth behind Gimbly, and starts to discover a devastating truth peeking out from beneath the surface. Should Nic learn to live with what he finds, or take action to shake the town to it very core?
