Fresh off the plane from London, Dr Beth Seymour hopes for a new start in sunny Australia. But she comes down to earth with a bump when she meets her fearsome and oh-so handsome new boss, A&E consultant Matthew Harrison.

But when feisty Beth stands up to him a long-buried tenderness emerges from Matt. Could Beth be the key to his locked-away heart?
