After the death of her Aunt and Uncle, Harper's life takes a downturn. Constantly undermined by her Mother and cousin, Harper struggles to survive amidst criticism and unexpectedly nasty deeds. Harper turns to her Father for support, and as she tries to avoid conflict within her home, Don Byars attempts to minimise the damage his wife and entitled niece inflict on his daughter.
Harper moves from home to gain her nursing qualifications, but even then, her cousin lures her friends and boyfriends to become her latest conquests. After one too many incidents, Harper leaves her hometown and moves to a new satellite city far away. Despite her reluctance to become involved in a relationship, Harper is drawn to Rhett Landry, a contractor/ farmer who pursues her.
Her new start doesn't all go smoothly, and when her relationship with Rhett implodes, it takes the interference of her friend and Rhett's family to help him make a big statement that confirms his commitment. When Harper is called back to Heathcote for her cousin's wedding, it is with satisfaction that Harper watches Karma catch up with Desiree and her Mother.
Discarding her relationship with her Mother and cousin, Harper leaves Heathcote for the last time. Once she returns to Flinder's Ridge, the future Harper always wanted is within her reach, and the loving relationship she desired is hers.
