Australia, 1812. It was a virgin land waiting to be explorered, a wild frontier peopled by even wilder men, a place where a defenseless woman risked both her virtue and her life. But hot tempered, high spirited Kate McKenzie was sure she could survive in Australia on her own... until she met her match in Robin Fletcher. In the brawny arms of the former convict she discovered that a defenseless woman can have the time of her life losing her virtue to the right man.
