Publisher's Synopsis
Edward Loveday always believed that loyalty would see his family through any crisis. But since his tragic death, they have been far from united. The fierce rivalry between his twin sons, Adam and St John, rages on. Consumed by anger they are unable to see that their real enemy is an outsider. Harry Sawle, a cunning and violent smuggler, is determined to use their feud for his own gain. Meanwhile, in the new Australian penal colony, at least one Loveday remains loyal as the disgraced Japhet risks his life to protect Adam's investments. But unless Adam and St John can find a way to heal their rift, one man's loyalty won't be enough to save the Lovedays.
