Life handed them heartbreak, and then they discovered love.

*****

Katy Harrington is mourning the death of her husband after he dies in a shooting accident. Barely coping, she awaits the birth of their child. If it's a girl, she must hand the family home to her husband's brother.

The day after giving birth to a daughter, she and her child are left on the side of a road. She collapses and is found by someone she thought had died in a fire ten years before.

Badly scarred after the fire that took Katy's father, the reclusive Perry White, nurses her back to health. They marry and move in with her widowed friend, Mary.

After some years, she discovers her husband and friend in each other's arms. Now living in a love triangle, she flees. Grasping the only straw available, she intentionally gets arrested and is sent to a colony far away. By doing this, her marriage can be annulled.

What happens in the Penal Colony is different from what she expects. But what of Perry and her children?

Will Perry find Katy? What happens if he does as she's now a convict?
