About the book
Steven Daintree had saved Andrea Swan-son's life, and on learning that she was alone in the world, her memory gone, he had taken her back to his vast Queensland estate, Mokhana, until she recovered.
So Andrea owed him a lot. All the same, did that give him the right to turn her life upside down? There was no denying this wild attraction that had sprung up between them -- but although Andrea knew it was love on her side, what about Steven Daintree? He was a law unto himself, dominating and self-assured, taking what he wanted -- and why should he want Andrea when there was Gillian Courtney to be considered?
And how could Andrea think about the future, with or without Steven, until she had regained her memory of the past.
