Rescued by a brooding stranger...

Jilted heiress Penny Hindmarsh-Firth sets her broken heart on escaping high-society city life. Instead, she’s trapped by floods in the Outback and a handsome stranger on horseback comes to her rescue!

After a betrayal shattered his life, Matt Fraser withdrew from the world—but he can’t deny Penny a refuge. The secret billionaire is reluctantly intrigued as the society princess starts proving there’s more to her than meets the eye...

“We need to go in now because if we stay out here one moment longer, I’ll be forced to kiss you.”

And there it was, out in the open. This thing...

“And you don’t want to?” It was a whisper, so low Matt thought he’d misheard. But he hadn’t. Penny’s whisper seemed to echo. Even the owls above their heads seemed to pause to listen.

Did he want to?

This was such a bad idea. This woman was his employee. She was trapped here for the next four days, or longer if she took him up on his offer to extend.

What was he doing? Standing in the dark talking of kissing a woman?

Did he want to?

“Yes,” he said, because there was nothing else to say.

“Then what’s stopping you?”

“Penny...”

“Just shut up, Matt Fraser, and kiss me.”

And what was a man to say to that?

Matt took Penny into his arms and he kissed her.
