Surf n Turf

Disconcerted by her boyfriend’s hasty marriage proposal, London-born Sarah cycles from Cape Town to the Karoo in search of her heritage, and her heart. On the way, disaster strikes leaving her lost and confused in an arid landscape. Rescued by a handsome sheep farmer, she has just a locket; a phrase: “touch the stars” and a faded map, to navigate her way forward. As for Luan, one minute he is warm and friendly, the next haunted by pain and so distant. What has hurt him so deeply? What will it take to melt the ice around his heart? Can Luan help Sarah find what she is looking for?

Jo-Anne Duffett

If it’s outdoors, Jo-Anne Duffett’s there: gardening, hiking, running, photography, or kayaking. If it’s raining, there’s always a stationary bike with a book, or a raincoat and trainers. Planning her next adventure with her husband is as delightful as exploring and travelling. The transition from academic writing to fiction has been immense fun and she hopes her readers relish this story as much as she enjoyed the creation. Jo-Anne lives in Cape Town with her husband and a tank full of tropical fish.
