Sometimes the end of the road is just the beginning

As a kid brought up on a cattle property in the New England Tablelands, Reggie Macleod vowed she would swap the country for city life as soon as she could. She's followed her dream and everything is going to plan.

Until one phone call rocks her world entirely.

Reggie's parents have been badly injured in a car accident, and they need her help to run the farm while her brother builds up their recently launched farmstay business. It was only going to be for a couple of months... but that was almost three years ago.

When Tim Warbois checks in to one of their cabins and extends his booking several times, all he seems to want is peace and quiet. But what is really going on under the surface? Has he discovered a new hope and purpose that will last?

Will Reggie and Tim manage to overcome the wounds of their pasts and build a new future?
