About

The Pretty Witch by Lucy Gillen When Nigel Frome got Isobel Hendrix the job of secretary to his half-brother, Lucifer Bennetti, it was with the idea that he would thus be able to see a lot more of her. But Lucifer resembled his satanic namesake in more ways than one; wasn't Nigel taking rather a risk? Without Any Amazement by Margaret Malcolm Jacynth was eighteen, and literally just out of the schoolroom, when Jonathan Branksome, married her. He hardly knew her, but drastic measures were necessary to protect her from being exploited by a heartless wastrel, and Jonathan knew he was the right man to guard her interests. Love did not come into it; Jacynth regarded the whole thing as an adventure, and Jonathan, having experienced one bitter disappointment, was quite prepared to bide his time until she was more mature. This unusual marriage might well have succeeded if lovely and unscrupulous Cynthia, whom Jonathan had once loved, had not come back on the scene. Could Jacynth, in her inexperience, hope to compete with her? Storm Over Mandargi by Margaret Way Toni had left her job and a go-nowhere romance to join her brother on Mandargi, the cattle station in the outback which he managed. She hadn't yet met the owner, Damon Nyland, but had heard enough about him to determine that she at least wasn't going to fall on the great man's neck when he finally condescended to visit them! A praiseworthy attitude -- but one that she found difficult to sustain when Damon eventually appeared on the scene and Toni found herself as overwhelmed by his personality -- and his attraction! -- as all the others.
