'Abigail Scottsdale is the beautiful daughter of a miner. Left alone after her father’s death, the elderly and unscrupulous mine owner lures her to his house and then drugs and marries her. Ebenezer dies on their wedding night, and fearing she is to be blamed, Abbey flees the estate. Meanwhile Ebenezer’s estranged son is outraged when he finds out his father’s young bride has inherited everything that belongs to him and sets out to put things right, anyway he can. Even though he believes Abbey is a cunning woman who likely killed his father, he believes courting her is the means to an end but she’s taken up the position of Jack Hawker’s mother’s companion on Bungaree Station. It’s a difficult position, as Sybil Hawker dislikes and distrusts her, and she also has Jack’s jealous girlfriend Clementine to deal with. Jack becomes protective of Abbey and it’s just as well as Heath had a deadly plan to execute.'
