South of Capricorn — Anne Hampson

But every situation has parts unknown...

"I don't see why that cad should get away with it" Her cousin, Sandra, was dead now, but Gail Stafford insisted that Kane Farrell be made to accept responsibility for his daughter, be she legitimate or otherwise.

So Gail took the incorrigible child to Kane's Australian cattle station with the intention of leaving her with him. However, things didn't work out quite the way she'd envisioned.

Kane would only accept the child if Gail pretended to be his wife!

Hero: Kane Farrell
Heroine: Gail Stafford
