Reggie Macleod had her life sorted. As a kid in a small school with only twelve students; she vowed she was going to live
in the city and be something important. And she'd followed her dream.
Then her world changed with one phone call from her brother.
Returning to River Styx, the cattle property where she grew up on the New England Tablelands, Reggie came home to
help after her parents barely survived a car accident. It was only going to be for a couple of months … that was almost
three years ago.
When a guest checks in whose only desire seems to be peace and quiet, and as the mystery man continues to extend his
stay, Reggie's parents take a liking to him - offering him a job to help lighten Reggie's workload. The two are drawn to
each other reluctantly - but both are pursuing ambitions that will take them in separate directions.
