After an engineering degree and working in the mines of Western Australia, Garth has returned to the Outback and is home to stay. His goal is to settle down, start a family, and work his beloved land with the girl he’s always loved. But if it comes to Lucy choosing between the glamour of the city or making a home with him in the Outback—he’d lose, hands down.
“I’m developing a proposal for a new product campaign and I need a man.” She giggled as her words ran together in her excitement. She’d given a lot of thought to the concept this afternoon as she had worked with Gran, weighing flour, cracking eggs, and mixing scone dough.
“You need a man?” There was a trace of humour in his tone’ “Reminds me of that Shania Twain song we used to listen to.” He waggled his eyebrows at her and she played along.
“Uh Uh. You’ve got that round the wrong way. That song was ‘Man, I feel like a woman.’”
“Well, speaking of that…”
Lucy laughed and shook her head at him. ‘You haven’t changed one bit, Garth.”
‘Why should I have?” he said, with a note of seriousness in his voice. “Anyway tell me about this man you need.”
“Okay, what do I need?” She tipped her head to the side and held his gaze. For a moment the words fled, and she had to dig to remember what she wanted. “A manly man, rugged, outdoorsy, and strong.” She lifted her hands to form a frame. “If only I’d had a camera with me this afternoon, I could have taken a great shot of you. You were hot and sweaty, but you looked so”—Woops, she wouldn’t say sexy. Flirting here was fun and harmless but she didn’t want Garth to think she was willing to pick straight up where they’d left off.—“so Aussie and so hard working. A real bloke.” Her voice faltered as he stared at her, his eyes dark and intense.
“So what’s this concept you’ve had? What’s the product you need a man for?”
“Sexy lingerie. It’s a huge Australian firm and they’re launching a new product.”
“Me?” Garth spluttered in his beer and his eyes widened. “And you want me to model underwear?”
