Kerry Allyne - Author
A city-focused character is pushed into an unfamiliar rural setting and unexpectedly drawn to a guide who openly criticises her. The story appears to centre on attraction, discomfort and a challenge to Marti's expectations.
Who cared if he liked her or not! Marti couldn't envision life beyond the city limits. When her father insisted she represent him at a rodeo in the Australian bush country, she felt banished to the ends of the earth. Not wanting to disappoint him, however, Marti agreed to go, although she didn't expect anything or anyone to interest her. Her guide, Farrell Stephens, proved the exception. He let it be known that he though Marti was a "spoiled brat." Well, spoiled brats usually get what they want, don't they--and Marti wanted him.

This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
