She liked Gijs and he was fond of her. Companionship seemed a good a basis for a marriage – who needed romance? But Gijs was in love and Serena couldn't work out who the lucky woman was… Letitia Marsden never trusted men. Then she met Dr Jason Mourik van Nie and he changed her mind. Learning to trust again wasn't easy for either of them. Letitia vowed there would be a happy ending. But then Jason got the wrong idea about one of her male friends… Could a chance meeting set it right? Surely fate wasn't going to let a simple misapprehension stand in the way of true love? Matilda had beauty and generous nature – it was surprising that she was still single. Despite many offers, she remained fancy–free. Until she met James Scott–Thurlow – it was love at first sight! He was the only man she'd ever wanted to marry! But as luck would have it, James was already engaged – to the glamorous Rhoda. And it was clear he hadn't fallen for Matilda...

      Finch Carmody was totally wrong for her! A rugged homesteader from the Australian high country, Finch exuded too much raw masculinity for Blythe's taste. Comfortable, calm Nathan was more her type. Unfortunately, though Nathan wanted her, he didn't want her recently orphaned nephew, Lief, whom she had raised on her own. Nathan persuaded a reluctant Blythe to foist the boy on his supposed father, Finch. Although he was not the father, Finch nevertheless agreed to take the child-to get him away from Nathan. But Finch's challenging manner disconcerted Blythe, sending sparks down her spine . . . and his proposed living arrangements unnerved her even more!
