Travel to Australia to solve a family mystery? Sure, Marlow could do that. But she didn't take into consideration the vast outback, nor the owner of the sheep station. Widower, Jake Barclay, is everything her late husband was not-honorable, considerate, a pure gentleman. She came prepared with sunscreen, but hadn't built a high enough screen around her heart.


Jake was dubious about Marlow's reason for visiting his station and thwarts her plan at every turn. Until he sees how she interacts with his vulnerable, young daughter.


If they solve the coded message, can Marlow return to Texas, or will Jake offer her a forever home in the outback?
