Book Description

When her friend Alan Moore, son of the oil tycoon Sir Giles Moore, got Julie a job in Tripoli she had never dreamed that it would actually take her to work on the oil-camp itself, miles out in the scorching Libyan desert. But even that was not such a challenge as working with the camp manager, Clay Whitman, who stubbornly insisted that 'woman and oil don't mix'. Yet Julie could not deny her growing attraction to Clay - and judging by his disapproval and jealousy of Alan, he was not indifferent to her! In fact, after Julie left the firm and got a job as a children's nurse, Clay still seemed to be always there, helping and guiding her when things went wrong. But at the same time, he was showing a marked interest in at least two other women. How could Julie decide how she stood with him?

From Harlequin Romance #1180, May 1982, US Edition:


"Women and oil don't mix." Julie hoped her new job in North Africa would provide a much needed respite from the dreary round of modeling in London, where life was a succession of changing garments and changing taxis. She found her boss, Clay Whitman, extremely attractive - until he voiced his opinion that a desert oil site was no place for a woman. She was determined to give him a wide berth in future, but the proved harder than she's expected . . .
