GALAXIES AND OCEANS

Seizing his one chance to escape, Ethan Hosking leaves his violent ex-boyfriend, leaves his entire life, and walks into the path of a raging bushfire. Desperate to start over, a new man named Aubrey Hobbs walks out of the fire-ravaged forest, alive and alone. With no ID and no money, nothing but his grandfather&rsquo,s telescope, he goes where the Southern Cross leads him. Patrick Carney is the resident lighthouse keeper in Hadley Cove, a small town on the remote Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia. After the tragic death of his lover four years ago, he lives a solitary life, just him, a tabby cat, the Indian and Southern Oceans, and a whole lot of loneliness. He&rsquo,s content with his life until a stranger shows up in town and turns Patrick&rsquo,s head. Patrick never expected to be interested in anyone else. Aubrey never expected to be happy. Between Aubrey&rsquo,s love of the stars and Patrick&rsquo,s love of the ocean, these two fragile hearts must navigate new waters. If they can weather the storm of their pasts, they could very well have a love that eclipses everything._,
