Born and bred in the outback! A hard man, a typical outback man—that was Guy Richardson. And he had no intention of letting David, his cousin's orphaned son, be uprooted and dragged off to some strange country. Olivia Bridewell might have been David's legal guardian, but Guy was family. Olivia couldn't understand it. Guy was a bachelor and the new owner of a vast, ramshackle property in the middle of nowhere. Why wasn't he relieved to get rid of the responsibility of a small boy? But David needed Guy—and his life at Willagong Creek. He also needed a mother. Could a marriage of convenience be the answer?
Author
After a haphazard career spent working and travelling around the world, I stumbled into romance writing as a way to fund a PhD. My first book, A Sweeter Prejudice, came out in 1991, and since then I've written a further 59 books, some of which have won awards in the US and the UK. I live in York, a historic city in the north of England, and waste the best part of my days planning trips away or on Facebook and Twitter, both of which mean that I end up writing late into the night. As well as romance, I write 'time slips' as Pamela Hartshorne, and am a freelance project editor and occasional writing tutor. In May 2013 I will publishing the Jessica Hart Vintage Collection of five of my early books from the 90s.
