Men of the Outback #3
Her Outback Protector
At first sight, Alexandra Kingston looked too young to have inherited the running of Moondai cattle station. Overseer Daniel Carson knew she would most likely need all the support he could give her.
Daniel combined strength with gentleness — a heady mix for a woman who had learned the hard way how to fight her own battles. Alexandra's small frame belied her inner strength, but she couldn't deny that having Daniel close by her side made her feel both protected...and desired.

About the author
Margaret Way
610 books161 followersMargaret Way was born and educated in the river city of Brisbane, Australia. Before her marriage she was a well-known pianist, teacher, vocal coach and accompanist, but her hectic musical career came to a halt when her son was born and the demands of motherhood dictated a change of pace.
On a fortuitous impulse she decided to try her hand at romance writing and was thrilled when Mills & Boon accepted her first effort, Time of the Jacaranda, which they published less than a year later in 1970; a feat that brought tears to her father's eyes. Some seventy odd books have followed resulting in a loyal readership whose letters provide a source of support and encouragement. A driving force in all her writing has been the promotion of her much loved country, Australia. She delights in bringing it alive for her readers; its people, way of life, environment, flora and fauna. Her efforts so far have not excited official recognition, but she expects one day she will be awarded the "Order of Australia."
Her interests remain with the arts. She still plays the piano seriously, but her "top Cs" have gone. She is still addicted to collecting antiques and paintings and browsing through galleries. She now lives within sight and sound of beautiful Moreton Bay and its islands, inspiration for some of her books. Her house is full of books, spectacular plants, Chinese screens and pots. She is devoted to her garden and spends much time "directing the design and digging and providing cold drinks and chocolates."

Young heroine inherits cattle ranch empire from her estranged grandfather. Hero is the overseer. She is reluctant to move in there because she suspects her uncle of having masterminded the "accidental" death of her father when heroine was a child. His Cessna airplane was apparently tampered with though there was no solid proof.
Heroine's suspicions seem to be validated when the plane piloted by hero to bring her to the station also has a malfunction. Hero moves into the main house in order to protect the heroine. They have the hots for each other but don't act on it. Heroine, because she is traumatized by her floozie mom and lecherous stepdad. Hero because he feels unworthy of the rich heiress.
Murder mystery is resolved when Grampa's wife (his second wife, not heroine's bio grandma) confesses that she is the one who was responsible for the plane accident that cost the life of heroine's father. She was apparently an unhinged woman in a terrible marriage and planned to murder her husband (heroine's grampa) instead her stepson piloted the airplane and was killed.
The crazy murderess takes herself off on a long walk and dies of a heart attack after her confession. At the funeral, hero is recognized by another prominent cattle rancher as his long-lost grandson. Now that hero is an heir in his own right, no further obstacles to the h and H getting their HEA, joining themselves (as well as their vast properties) in holy matrimony.

Very charming, but a bit too sedate for my tastes. I know, it has a hele crash, but zero angst.
