Written by a retired Police Officer, this story is inspired by the lives of two tough women - and a rumour that would not die.
Mary returns to the new life she has forged for herself as she recovers from a serious injury. But as her wealth increases, so do the violent attacks against her.
As Drake struggles to maintain control over her, he realises he has badly underestimated her intelligence.
Desperate to keep control over her life and her business affairs, Mary puts her complete trust in a man she knows might be a spy for Drake.
But it is her love for a fascinating and mysterious American gunfighter on the run that will ultimately determine if she will succeed in creating a new life for herself and her daughter, or die a lonely and violent death in the Australian bush.
