Book excerpt: Wife wanted! Love not required— Cattle rancher Rory Compton isn't looking for love— but he is looking for a wife. He wants a partner who will settle down with him in the Outback, a practical, down-to-earth woman who won't be seduced by the bright lights of the city. Glamorous fashion editor Allegra Sanders doesn't seem to fit Rory's criteria at all. With her model looks he can't trust that her growing attraction to him is for real. But that doesn't seem to stop Rory thinking about her— every minute of every day!
