About this listen

Drawn by her brother's promise of a fresh start in Australia, Eliza Penrose journeys from England to the gold-mining town of Maiden's Creek, only to arrive in the shadow of tragedy.

Alone and friendless in a town where answers about her brother's fate remain frustratingly elusive, Eliza seizes an unexpected chance to establish herself as the settlement's schoolteacher.

Alec McLeod, the mine's engineer and her brother's friend, still carries the memory and guilt of his wife's death. Though he's rebuffed the attention of every eligible woman in town, he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to Eliza – an attraction complicated by a promise he made to her brother.

While Alec struggles between his growing feelings for Eliza and his obligations to the mine and its men, Eliza delves into the mystery surrounding her brother's death. As secrets, lies and betrayals circle around them, both Alec and Eliza are drawn deeper into the town's web of secrets.

When disaster strikes the mine, the truths begins to surface. Will their newfound bond be enough to overcome the forces threatening to tear them apart?
