"Go back to the city where you belong!" Paige was hurt by Kelly's harsh words. She might be city bred, but she was beginning to love this rugged Australian outback. Kelly Sinclair had rescued her when she lost all her possessions in flooding waters. And Paige was grateful to him for allowing her to stay at his boss's outstation. Then she learned that Kelly was not only his own boss, but lord and master of all he surveyed. Well, he wasn't going to rule her, as well—even though her own emotions were urging her to give in!

Finch Carmody was totally wrong for her! A rugged homesteader from the Australian high country, Finch exuded too much raw masculinity for Blythe's taste. Comfortable, calm Nathan was more her type. Unfortunately, though Nathan wanted her, he didn't want her recently orphaned nephew, Lief, whom she had raised on her own. Nathan persuaded a reluctant Blythe to foist the boy on his supposed father, Finch. Although he was not the father, Finch nevertheless agreed to take the child-to get him away from Nathan. But Finch's challenging manner disconcerted Blythe, sending sparks down her spine . . . and his proposed living arrangements unnerved her even more!

She was frightened but not of Saxon! Debra desperately needed a job and gratefully accepted one from elderly Eleanor McAllister. She'd never worked on a cattle station before, but she would try anything! Handsome Saxon McAllister, however, thought she was a conniving adventurer and made her life miserable.

"Will you marry me?" she blurted out Raina could hardly believe the words had come from her lips. How could she ask Dev Masters, of all people, to enter into such a relationship? Dev Masters despised her. He thought she was a good-for-nothing greedy socialite who had neglected her father. Yet Dev Masters was the one man qualified to run her father's outback station, the only one who could help save her inheritance. Dev eyed her flushed cheeks intently as she rushed on to explain. "Of course, it would be only a platonic business arrangement. Nothing else!"
