Bourke, a small country town in outback Australia. Where skies are bluer than blue, flies and mozzies abound and wide open spaces and fresh country air regenerate the spirit. It was this small town her heart led her back to after fifteen long years away. The place where Ruby's heart had always belonged. Securing a position with the Flying Doctor Service and working for a local doctor was like a dream come true - she was ready to give back to the people who had done so much to help her. Phil was a man who had grown up with Ruby and he'd had his eye on her for years. He'd intended to marry her as soon as he had qualified as a cop and she had qualified as a nurse. So, what caused everything to go so horribly wrong?
