Sinopsis

A Tale of Two Cities is a novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. With well over 200 million copies sold, it ranks among the most famous works in the history of fictional literature. The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralised by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.

    In the roiling year of 1855, the vibrant city of Sydney is thriving, and the future looks promising for John Leary. His dreams of construction are materializing, and his heart swells with anticipation as his beloved wife Clarissa is expecting their first child.

Meanwhile, an unexpected connection emerges as ex-convict Gerry Gleeson reveals himself to be John's uncle and offers assistance in unmasking the saboteur. 
    This tale unfurls against a backdrop of raw ambition, buried secrets, and clandestine dealings. Will these forces propel the young builder towards ruin, or will he emerge victorious in the face of adversity?

    When Cy Hammond loses his girlfriend and then his custom motorcycle shop, he needs a fresh start. He sets his sights on Coral Canyon, because the majority of his family is there now. 
    When he attends a tree-lighting ceremony at Whiskey Mountain Lodge, he's unprepared for the attraction between him and a certain blonde...who's tried to run him over before. 
    Patsy Foxhill didn't mean to nearly hit Cy the day she met him at her family orchard. The land had been in her family for generations, and her sister's mismanagement of it caused them to have to sell some of the land. She was distressed. She also hasn't forgotten about Cy Hammond. So when he asks her out over the speaker system at the lodge, Patsy can only say one thing. Yes. 
    As they start to spend more time together, she realizes Cy has a bit of a beastly streak, but as she truly gets to know the cowboy billionaire behind the beast, she realizes what a good heart he has. 
    Can Patsy's faith in Cy rejuvenate his trust in women? Or will he let everyone down...including himself?
