A woman's search for a new life lures danger to their small town…

Forty-one-year-old widow, Natalie Wasson needs money – now - for an operation that will radically change her son’s quality of life. When she discovers forgotten WWI letters in Bindarra Creek’s oldest home, she seizes the chance to write the family’s history - and unknowingly invites danger to this small country town.

Loyalty and duty have been drilled into Troy Davidson’s very core – by his family and by almost twenty-five years of military service. But soon both traits are at war with regret and love, after he comes face to face with the woman he could never forget.

A brutal childhood has robbed Ernest Callon of almost every drop of human kindness. His sole purpose has been honed into the location of a lost artifact – until he meets Natalie. Torn between his life-long obsession and the softening of his battered heart, which will he choose?

As the stakes become personal, Natalie must decipher an ancient secret before someone she loves pays the ultimate price. The clock is ticking and the wrong choice could prove fatal.
