IN THE HOT NORTH OF AUSTRALIA, WHERE TENSIONS SIMMER, COMES A FAMILY SAGA WITH ALL THE ELEMENTS OF A RIPPING YARN. Jordan Hale returns to Eden, the sugar cane plantation in Far North Queensland he left as a boy, with two objectives. To bring Eden back to its former glory, and destroy the man he blames for the death of his parents. But Max Courtland is powerful and not afraid to fight dirty. The only chink in his armour is his wife, Letitia, and two of his daughters, Celia and Lexie, who couldn't be more different. Jordan goes out of his way to befriend them, knowing it will irritate Max. He discovers Letitia has far more depth than he expected and is trapped in a marriage to a cold and indifferent man. She basks under the attention he shows her and earns his respect. Celia lacks confidence and genuinely fears her father, but Lexie is a bold, good-time girl with a reputation and she proves to be a real handful for Jordan. Jordan has no idea that Eve, who appointed herself caretaker in his absence from Eden, is also a Courtland and she's desperate to keep her identity a secret. She's nothing like her sisters and they do not get along. Eve is fragile and headstrong, and she gradually captures Jordan's heart. But when her true identity is discovered, it's not Jordan who is the most surprised and ultimately it puts her life in danger.
