Destitute and desperate, Jacinda finds salvation in the arms of her family's sworn enemy - but is this revenge, or the path she should take? How Jacinda finds deliverance, how she discovers the true meaning of love and how her shattered family are reconnected are all told in this wonderful tale of reckoning, redemption and love.
