Top surgeon Fergus Reynard abandoned Sydney for a GP's life at Cradle Lake, hoping to soothe his broken heart. And indeed it is - by the laughter, dedication and caring nature of local emergency doctor Ginny Viental.
Ginny knows she cannot enter a relationship with this wonderful man in the midst of her own struggles. But Fergus will not let her run from their love of a lifetime - even though it means giving his heart to the little niece in her care too, and taking a role he thought he could never face again - that of a father.
