Now at twenty-two she has left the quiet English village of her birth, with its apple orchards and all the people most dear to her, and travelled to Australia for the adventure of her life...Despite all her planning, nothing can prepare her for what she will find when she lands at McKinnley Station - a sheep station in the Australian Outback. The vast red land is unlike anything she has ever seen - and so is Jack McKinnley, the station owner's handsome son. However, Maggie quickly learns the Outback can be a dangerous place - and it's not just the wildlife that is threatening.
