Outback Husband

Release Date: 1999

Juliet Laing couldn’t bring up twin toddlers and run her beloved cattle station single-handed. She needed a manager – and quickly. Cue Cal Jamieson. With arrogant self-assurance, the irritating Australian claimed the post as his, and promptly moved into the homestead! Now he seemed intent on proving that the Outback was no place for an Englishwoman, captivating her two baby boys – and driving her to distraction! Juliet resolved to teach Cal just exactly who was boss. Until she discovered his true motive for coming to Wilparilla. It was the perfect excuse to fire him – so why couldn’t she do it?
