When Jane travels from America to the Australian Outback, she looks forward to adventure, romance, and a new start in life. What she finds is handsome, domineering Scott Farnham—a man whose presence fills her with illicit desire. Scott is aggressively pursuing the wealthy and arrogant Daphne Woolcott, but he makes no secret of his attraction to Jane.

In a shocking twist, Scott proposes to Jane instead of Daphne. But as much as she wants him, Jane can't bring herself to trust Scott's intentions. Does he really love her back—or is he only trying to make haughty, beautiful Daphne jealous?
