Far away from home Jenny Winters is trying to make a new life for herself away from the guilt and pain of her past in England. Not intending to lie about her family but hiding enough of the truth, she meets and falls in love with Dan Chivers. After a painfully slow courtship Dan asks Jenny to marry him and settle to a life on his cattle station in Australia. Jenny will not agree to marry him until she has returned to England to settle family issues with her crippled brother Ralph. Dan's sister, Melanie, is highly suspicious of Jenny's past and her entanglement with her brothers Ralph and Paul. Ralph's horrific injuries were caused by a riding accident and it appears that Jenny was to blame and is consumed by guilt. Finally Dan and Jenny marry but this is not the end of the tangled web of her life with Ralph and Paul. Time after time Jenny is forced to return to England with no explanation until finally Dan follows her and the awful truth is revealed. Will Dan and Jenny be able to recover from the events that occur that cold winters day at the Manor? Will they ever find happiness again in the wide spaces of the Australian outback?
