"Young widow Muireann Graham Caldwell is left destitute by her dissolute husband, Augustine, killed in a shooting accident on their honeymoon. Faced with a choice between returning to her stifling parents in Scotland or taking a chance on running her own estate, Muireann finds an ally in the broodingly handsome Lochlainn Roche. He has secrets of his own to keep. As the Potato Famine rages across Ireland, can Muireann save her new home Barnakilla? Can she and her estate manager ever have a future together? Does he even love her? Or has he been using her all along?"
