'Years ago Melanie Black was rescued from a burning house by her best mate, a fellow foster child. When he begs for help to save his marriage, she can't refuse and finds herself on a cattle station supervising his children while he attempts a reconciliation with his wife. Abandoned by her only known parent when she was seven years old, she's always longed for a family and a home. When she sets eyes on Dirk for the first time, those long ago dreams are rekindled.
'Dirk Tanner can't believe his eyes when his brother-in-law's 'friend' alights from the plane. He recognises her as the do-gooder who gave his ex-wife advice on 'living her own life'. No way will he allow Melanie to meddle in his sister's affairs too.
'But the attraction simmering between them will only take one small spark to set it on fire. And both are keeping a secret from the other.'
