Almost twenty years ago, Belinda Morrison’s teenage dreams of playing top level cricket were shattered after a night of fun went wrong.

 

While she lay in a hospital bed, the ute’s driver, her boyfriend Marc, left town. Now Marc Orsini’s a cop, and has been sent back to Hope Creek as a temporary posting.

 

The sparks are still there, stronger than ever, and after a shaky start, their relationship ignites again. With many ties to the community, the town is Bel’s life, but Marc has responsibilities elsewhere.

 

She can't risk a short-term romance, but how can she let him walk out of her life for a second time?
