After losing her parents in a tragic accident and selling her beloved farm Cherrytrees, 23 year old Jan Carron finds herself at a loose end, raising her five year old son Bobby alone.
Change is in the air when she receives a call from her sister Christine, who's planning an extended trip to the United States with her husband.
She needs someone to take care of their farm and the twins in their absence.
Jan agrees to move into their rural Scottish idyll, Shamblee.
But upon her return to the farmhouse, memories of the past come flooding back - feelings and emotions she's tirelessly fought to repress.
But some ghosts cannot be laid to rest, and one such figure appears in the form of Mike Maxwell.
On their last meeting five years ago, an undeniable passion ignited between them.
They fell head over heels for each other, but confusion, pride and shame blighted their romance.
Now they find themselves thrown together again, and neither can deny the magnetic force that seems to pull them together, no matter how much Jan tries to resist.
But the course of true love never did run smooth, and the truth is obscured in misunderstanding and miscommunication.
Mike's tempestuous nature, and Jan's unwillingness to put her faith in him, threaten to destroy any chance they have of happiness.
Furthermore, Mike isn't the only man vying for Jan's affections, and he is consumed with jealousy - failing to realise her heart lies with one man only.
Can Mike prove his unfaltering devotion? Will Jan ever allow her wary heart to trust again?
A passionate and heart-warming tale about the complexities of love, set against the backdrop of farming life in rural Scotland.
