About the book
Australia trilogy #3
BRAVE, BOLD AND RASH
Those were the traits of the men bred in the land down under, and there was none braver than Ben Penrod. Only one thing could turn his sun-bronzed visage pale, and that was a marriage-minded female. Though Ben was heir to the vast Australian holdings of Penrod station, he had no intention of saddling himself with a wife...until he met his match in the most alluring and contrary creature he'd ever beheld. With hair like moonbeams and eyes like aquamarines, Tia was only as big as a child, yet her lush curves proclaimed her all woman. With manners as dainty as those of any fine lady, she could charm his highborn friends, yet her salty language would make a Cockney blush. And instead of being pursued, Ben found himself being refused by the one woman who had captured his heart for all time!
