*****

Jess Elkin's life is shattered by a tragedy that takes her daughter's life, and then she is widowed only hours later. She seeks the peace that the disaster has stolen. A funeral, lies and greed are followed by a false charge that sees her transported to another continent.

A carriage accident brings Jess into Marcus's life. After meeting her, woollen mill owner and business-orientated Marcus Ryan must choose between duty and his heart.

Marcus follows his heart and makes her a promise never to leave her alone again. Jess loves the life on their sheep farm in the Hunter Valley of NSW. However, duty to his staff means he must break his vow and travel for work, but he vanishes. When news reaches her, Jess's world collapses again, but she must stay strong and trust that he will do everything he can to gain his freedom because he loves her.

Will Marcus ever be able to keep his promise and return to her? Will she ever see him again?
