Nicholas Sabre was deported from England in 1861 for killing his rival in a duel because of the woman he loved and he thought loved him. But he was wrong.  Now years later, when he is not only financially struggling but emotionally too, he finds himself with a wife he doesn’t remember. Summer O'Neilesp shows up at his New Zealans Sheep station claiming to be his bride, a bride he signed for when he was drunk, and he makes it clear he has no use for a bride. Summer decides that’s fine with her when the shearing of the sheep is complete, he can take both into town and she will be rid of him. Summer has her own worries anyway. How far can you run from a murder?

Both Nicholas and Summer were running from their past, from things they did and thought they had done -- things that were unbearable. But maybe, just maybe, each would be able to help the other trust again, live again, love again. But would it be enough or was it too late?

In “Dream Fever,” when a feud breaks out between farmers, Nicholas discovers how far he will go not only to save his way of life, but also his wife, who despite himself has become his life.
