So naturally she resented Hunter Kincaid for threatening her security by making an offer to buy her father's private island resort. She tried desperately to turn the tide, emphasizing the island's least-attractive features, but Hunter Kincaid was a man who knew his own mind and trusted his own instincts--which was more than he would say of Devon.

When her father insisted she represent him at a rodeo in the Australian bush country, she felt banished to the ends of the earth. Not wanting to disappoint him, however, Marti agreed to go, although she didn't expect anything or anyone to interest her. Her guide, Farrell Stephens, proved the exception.
