Mackenna Birch thinks she's met the man of her dreams while on holiday in New Zealand. Adam Walker seems funny, kind and loving...until, to Mack's disbelief, he walks out on her. Nursing a broken heart, Mack returns to the family farm in Australia to find her beloved father unwell and her scheming younger brother home from the city, showing a great interest in taking over. Also in her absence, a new worker has been hired: the arrogant but handsome Cam, and Mack feels unsure of his motives. The farm is Mack's life...it's all she wants to do, but since she's been away, everything has changed. Mack has gradually been making small alterations to the stud, but she longs to make big changes - changes her father has approved. But with her father's ailing health, all her plans have been put on hold. Soon Mack finds herself turning to Hugh - her old friend and neighbour - as her confidant. As they support each other through family pressures their friendship strengthens, leading them to question their true feelings. Then, out of the blue, Adam turns up from New Zealand, adding to the melting pot of emotions that Mack must figure out. She's determined to do what's right for her father, and for the farm, but will she choose what's right for herself?
