Yet against her will, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to both the strange, haunting land and to the easy smile and rugged sensuality of the down-to-earth man who has made it his home.Struggling to bring up three irrepressible, motherless children on an isolated station plagued by all the hardships and dangers of the Flinders Ranges in the 1860s, Patrick O'Reilly thinks the last thing he needs in his life is a prim and proper English gentlewoman. But it isn't long before O'Reilly begins to suspect that Miss Davenport is not exactly what she seems . . .Rich with the memorable characters and flawless sense of time and place for which Candice Proctor is acclaimed, SEPTEMBER MOON is a heartwarming story of resilience and passion set against the harshly beautiful and untamed landscape of the Australian outback. . . . a consummate storyteller. -Publishers Weekly . . . one of the best romance writers in the business today -The Literary TimesFrom the original 1999 Random House edition: In this, her third novel, the multitalented author of NIGHT IN EDEN returns to the glorious setting of nineteenth-century Australia, to the ancient, primal vistas of the outback, to a land as untamed as a man's soul . . .
