Born in Ireland but raised in Australia, Bridget Kittrick, headstrong and independent, is ready to show her worth. She meets Lincoln Huntley, a man with a mysterious past which only heightens Bridget's attraction to him. As much as she admires Lincoln, his secrets drive a wedge between them.
Left in charge of her mother's estate while her parents return to Ireland for business, Bridget is determined to prove to her family that she is capable. However, a vicious neighbour, Mr Roache, holds a grudge against the family and turns his attentions on Bridget. Roache orchestrates for Bridget to be kidnapped by wanted men, bushrangers. They take her deep into mountainous country to a hideout where an educated convict hides. Donovan is unlike any other man Bridget has known and he soon shows her a side to him that pulls at her heart. Only, he is a runaway convict, and she the daughter from a wealthy family.
Her brothers, with Lincoln Huntley, are searching for her, but when Bridget is forced to defend herself with harrowing consequences, she knows there is no going home. Living rough with Donovan is her life now.
Yet, Lincoln Huntley refuses to give up. He will find Bridget and perhaps her love will be the salve to his wounds, or will he be too late to save Bridget from herself?
One woman.
Two men with two hidden pasts.
What is her fate?
