But Never Love

Rebecca Grainger ran away from home when her grandfather Jock tried to force her to marry Davie Kelly, a known womaniser. It took two years before Becca returned home. But when she got there the farm had been sold, to Byron Willoughby. He was a former footballer(Australian soccer) Will also has a 6 yr-old daughter Tammy. Becca doesn't know Jock sold the farm, so she comes into her old home, calling her brother Rudy and Jock. Will met her in the dark, he kissed her silly. He fell head over hills in love. Now everyone knows they are in love, Will's sister Laura, his brother Kym, Becca's brother Rudy, little Tammy and even Jock, all except Becca. So she spends almost the entire book fighting this knowledge, even though all the people that see them together tell her, she always violently denies it. Although the plot was a bit hard to believe, I found this book so hard to put down I am now looking for other Lynsey Stevens works. From the back of the book: 'The attraction they felt had nothing to do with love! After years away, Rebecca returned to her grandfather's Australian farm. Mistakenly, in the dark, she thought her brother had come to greet her. But it was no brother who gave her that passionate, lingering kiss-a kiss that, incredibly, she responded to wholeheartedly. It was Byron Willoughby, the farm's new owner. And the startlingly handsome stranger soon managed to hire Rebecca as full-time baby-sitter for his little girl. Alarmed by her yearnings, Rebecca wanted to escape. Yet despite her fears, she became entangled in Byron's life...and in his painful past.
