Bound for Marandoo — Kerry Allyne

Jade was puzzled by Tory McGrath's completely hostile attitude. After all, today was the first time she'd ever met him.

"You may consider it a joke or a game, Miss Pascoe," Tory said grimly, but I heard you at the hotel last night, and let me tell you I don't consider gold-digging little hussies a joke!'

Jade felt her own temper rising. The remark he must have overheard had been said purely in fun. Gold-digging hussy, indeed! She would show Tory McGrath!

Hero: Tory McGrath
