The wool king

"If you defy me, girl, there'll be trouble!" Tracey shrugged off Ryan's warning indignantly. As far as she was concerned the precious Alexanders could keep their precious money, and their guardianship. She was her own mistress, and she planned to stay that way! But Ryan wasn't about to let Tracey rule her own life. She would spend the next 2 years on his Outback sheep station, and that's all there was to it. There was no way, however, that Tracey would accept Ryan's domination meekly..... Tracey and her younger half-sister do go to the sheep station, which is very large. She was involved with her boss ,who was supposedly getting a divorce, so she doesn't want to go. But the will states that both girls have to go and Lyn, the half-sister wants to go. There is a lot of conflict, Ryan gets mad when Tracey doesn't wear a hat when out riding. It turns out Tracy lived there before when she was a little girl, and she had been crazy about Ryan. He was very fond of her, but there was a family fight and her parents left. Her stepfather was an Alexander, but she inherited the same as her sister. There is an annoying neighbor, Lana, who is after Ryan. She is nasty to Tracey and eventually tells her she is illegitimate, which is true, and some lies to hurt her. Tracey ends up going away and living in a hotel, but Ryan comes to see her on her birthday. She finds out that her grandfather arranged the hotel and the job she had and she feels humiliated. I enjoyed this story very much. Tracey and Ryan are both very stubborn, but compelling characters. The book has lots of details about what goes on at a sheep station, which I found interesting.
