A sun-drenched battle of wills set against the rugged isolation of the Australian outback.
What it feels like
Reading this vintage romance feels like stepping into a sun-baked, melodramatic time capsule where the Australian outback is as untamed as the characters' tempers. The atmosphere is thick with the heat of the landscape and the crackling, indignant tension of a classic clash of wills. It moves at a brisk, breathless pace, driven by spirited arguments and the inevitable gravitational pull of undeniable attraction. The prose is sweeping and earnest, painting the rugged homestead in vivid colors while leaning into the heightened emotions of old-school category romance. It will delight readers who have a soft spot for nostalgic, enemies-to-lovers stories featuring domineering, rugged heroes and the fiercely stubborn women determined to put them in their place.

About the book
Mowana Magic by Margaret Way His opinion of women galled her!
Just because the outrageously handsome Kiall Lancaster was supreme master of his domain, the breathtaking Australian station of Mowana, didn't give him the right to treat all females with disdain.
Ally had flown out to his magnificent homestead to help out his stepsister, Sacha, a friend in need. There was she confronted with the problems created by the Lancaster men's attitude to their womenfolk. Somehow Ally had to turn things about at Mowana. And she had to teach chauvinistic Kiall a lesson... without giving in to his considerable charms!
