'Trapped by desire.

Maggie is at her most defenceless when she meets Khalid, a mysterious yet sympathetic stranger. Their single night of passion has consequences neither expect. Khalid's solution to their situation is simple, a marriage of convenience. But can Maggie give up everything she knows to marry the enigmatic lord of a desert kingdom? Can she trust her life to the hands of the man who makes her vulnerable in ways she's never been before?

'Khalid is determined to do the right thing by Maggie. She stirs his protective instincts even though she's one of the strongest and most resilient women he's ever met. More, she arouses desires and feelings he thought he'd buried long ago. He doesn't know where the passion between them will lead, but he refuses to back away, even if it means obliterating the walls they've each built around their emotions. He will have her as his bride and he won't settle for anything less than all of her: mind, body and heart.' (Publisher's blurb)

'All her life Johanna Coleman had been used to getting her own way where men were concerned, and now that she had decided she wanted to go on this exciting expedition among the lagoons of northern Australia's Timor Sea she didn't anticipate much trouble. Not, that was, until she met Nick Bannon, the leader of the expedition, who made it clear from the start that he wasn't having her.

'And so began a battle of wills between them – Nick, who for once had an iron hand without a velvet glove, and Johanna, who found to her dismay, in no time at all, that there was no one else in the world for her but Nick Bannon.

'But Nick, it seemed, didn't want her – now or at any time in the future. Was Johanna, for once, going to lose?' (Publication summary)

Perhaps it was the attraction of opposites, but from the first moment she set eyes on him Gena couldn't ignore Cy. True, the attraction she felt towards him was mixed equally with fury and antagonism at his masterful, overbearing ways; certainly love didn't enter into it at all. Then fate decreed that a distant relative should leave Gena the property right next door to Cy's mighty cattle holding, Bauhinia Junction. Wasn't he going to be rather too near at hand for her peace of mind? ' (Publisher's blurb) Toronto : Harlequin , 1975

'Paige Norton's friendship with Joel Benedict was progressing very satisfactorily. In fact, it had reached the stage of his "taking her home to meet the family".

'Home was Koombala, the vast Benedict cattle empire in the middle of the Australian Outback. The family was Joel's stepbrother Ty Benedict, the Boss of Koombala. Paige hadn't much liked the sound of Ty when Joel had first told her about him – and when she actually met Ty she liked the reality even less. He was hard and autocratic and seemed to have little time for her.

'The last thing she wanted was to find her-self falling in love with him .. ' (Publication summary)
