Four generations of the Black family have farmed Blackpeak Station in the high country of New Zealand's South Island. Next in line, or so she believes, is Charlotte Black, stubborn as rock and unbiddable as the weather. Standing in her way are 150 years of tradition, an older brother, and a father who believes that daughters should run families, not farms. But when circumstances suddenly change, Charlotte will have to be as tough as the mountains spanning the farm's borders if she is to achieve her childhood dream of running and owning the family property. There can be no room for romance in Charlotte's life. Or so she thinks, until it arrives at her door in the most unexpected of ways. Can she have both love and land, or must she choose? And can Charlotte learn to trust her heart?
