AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Australia 1853

'Settled in the colony, Ellen embarks on making a happy new life for her family and to forget the horrors of famine-struck Ireland. Married for security, she works hard developing their estate in the country to give her children the privileged life they could have only imagined in Ireland.

'However, danger lurks when a dangerous man from her past threatens her beloved sons, and when her marriage begins to crumble, all that she thought was safe is suddenly in jeopardy.

'Rafe Hamilton loves Ellen, but she is married to another, yet when he is faced with helping her once more, he doesn’t hesitate to act. Only, he makes a mistake which could cost him everything he always wanted.

'Confronted by lies and deceit, Ellen refuses to be defeated by tragedy. Instead, she gathers her strength and courage to fight for everything she has gained – no matter the cost.

'Will she rise and build an empire for her children? Can she find a way to mend her broken heart? Or will she lose all that she has struggled to achieve?'
