Strong is Sexy Heroine of the Week: Abigail Mulholland

Book: Lost in Kakadu 
Author: Kendall Talbot
Heroine: Abigail Mulholland

My heroine is a bitch. A rich pretentious bitch, whose life revolves around saucy gossip and her next social engagement. But money and prestige means nothing when Abigail survives a small plane crash into Australia’s Kakadu National Park with two complete strangers.

It’s a miracle they survive the accident, but things go from bad to downright hellish when rescuers never come. Learning to live in an environment that’s as brutal as it is beautiful takes Abigail to shattering point. But as she gathers the pieces of her sanity she discovers a new woman within her who’s not afraid to wield an axe or eat snails in order to survive.

As the weeks thread into months her Botox fades, her makeup runs out and the physical labour shapes her body into a lean sensual figure that she’s proud of. The old façade disappears and a strong, passionate and resourceful woman emerges with a wicked sense of humour and a fierce determination to live.

Abigail learns to love herself and along the way she’s surprised by her unlikely attraction to one of the other survivors, a younger bisexual man, a man who the old Abigail wouldn’t have been seen dead with. A man she’s willing to change for.

Fate brought them together, but they’ll need more than luck to escape Kakadu alive. Could the letters of a dean man hold the key to their survival?


Blurb:
An action adventure novel set in the Australian jungle where two unlikely people prove just how attractive opposites can be...

It’s pretentious socialite Abigail Mulholland’s worst nightmare when her plane crashes into an ancient Australian wilderness. Things go from bad to downright hellish when rescuers never come. As she battles to survive in an environment that’s as brutal as it is beautiful, Abigail finds herself also fighting her unlikely attraction to Mackenzie — another survivor, and a much younger man.

Mackenzie Steel is devastated by his partner’s death in the crash, the only person with whom he shared his painful past. Now, as he confronts his own demons, he finds he has a new battle on his hands: his growing feelings for Abigail, a woman who’s as frustratingly naïve as she is funny.

Fate brought them together, but they’ll need more than luck to escape Kakadu alive. Could the letters of a dead man hold the key to their survival?
