From the back cover of Mills & Boon Romance #707, December 1972, UK Edition:
The formidable and ruthless Thane Benedict was the very last person young Loren Knight would have chosen to be her guardian. However, there it was; he was indeed to have charge of her until she was twenty, and here she was, at Moonrock, his vast station in the middle of Australia's Outback, for the next two years. It was going to be a solitary life, so far from civilisation - but nevertheless, perhaps it wasn't the best time for Loren's cousin Janet to Moonrock to stay - and to fall in love with Thane. There was something not quite right about Janet's relationship with Thane; and what about that other girl, Felicity Bradon - 'alias a bitch'? The whole situation was rather too complicated for Loren to take in. Would it all become too much for her?

"Where are we going?" Loren asked. He glanced down, his face appearing more lean and angular than ever in the shadows cast by the gently-swaying branches of the trees. "I'm your guardian, remember? -- you can relax." The brooding silence of the bush dropped again, oppressive and intense. Over the moon a thin veil of cloud writhed and swirled, throwing stealthily-moving shadows across the eucalyptus scrub...
