It was a bit daunting, Helen found, when she arrived in Australia to marry Nicky Jamieson only to discover that Nicky himself was abroad on a long holiday.

But while she waited for his return, Helen made lots of other friends and met other men - among them Finn Ascroft, of whom Nicky's sister Corinne said firmly, "Finn Ascroft you will please leave alone..."
COMMENTS :
Blurb misleading. Nicky proposes, she asks him to wait, he goes to continent on motor trip letting her travel to his home in Australia alone. He does not inform his family she is his fiance and her position is invidious. Men attracted but she is waiting for Nicky. His family are relatively unfriendly. She makes some friends but has more who think she is an intrusive woman who is CHASING Nicky.

Two weeks after she arrived in Australia from England, Pippa found herself in the middle of the outback on the sheep station of Jounima doing battle with Skye Bannerman. "Skye's an ogre," Bron Lightfoot had told Pippa, and after her initial encounter with this exasperating man she was inclined to agree. But perhaps he had another more attractive personality to show to the sophisticated Angela Glas?

An innocent at large. Another book that has the man behaving in a totally reprehensible way for his own good reasons and the heroine not given a single clue till final VERY RUSHED ENDING. I really do wish that after all the build up and crossed wires that the denoument is not reduced to...silly girl I love you and all is well when there is no way a man who truly loved her would have kept her in the dark for so long.… (altro)
