In Australia Claire McIntyre’s life seems perfect as her husband
Keith adores her and she him, and she has a successful career at Rockford and
Associates as Client Relationship Manager to AHG Recruitment. Everything changes when two constables arrive
at her home to inform her that Keith died in a car accident. Soon after that tragedy her father Jack is
hit in the head by a horse and suffers a stroke. Finally she loses her job.
Leaving the big city behind, a grieving Claire returns to her
family ranch in Adelaide Hills to take care of her dad. While she helps Jack with his recovery;
Claire also heals due to her love for horses bringing her serenity. Specifically she believes untrainable
Paycheque has the innate ability to become a racing champion though she also has
an offer to go corporate again.
This reprint of the 2011 Australian published Paycheque is an
engaging second chance at life family drama with much of the fascination coming
from a comparison between how shark-infested the corporate and horseracing
worlds both are. Although the storyline
goes as expected, Return to Adelaide Hills is a pleasant Australian
contemporary.
