Sunrise at Sunny Cross Farm

'Maya shines a light on rural romance and celebrates storytelling that makes the heart sing and smiles abound.' Graziher Magazine

Widowed, cautious and clearly out of his depth, Spencer Hawkins never expected to find himself in front of a reality TV crew, let alone as a contestant on Love on the Land.

Clem Crossley has her hands full with her sunflower-filled property, two daughters, her new farm gate cafe and catering for the TV crew, without adding romance to the mix.

As the TV show airs, misleading edits and small-town gossip threaten to undo the bond Spencer and Clem are building. Clem, fiercely protective of her daughters, begins to wonder if Spencer is a risk she can't afford.

In the heart of rural South Australia, Spencer and Clem must confront their pasts and trust each other to take centrestage in a love story that's all their own.
