After a broken relationship Brooke Drynan felt she needed a fresh start and so she took on a teaching job in far north Queensland.Her friendship with Dave Martin, and it was simply a friendship, had grown out of her recognition in him of another wounded heart. Dave wanted to mend his faltering marriage and needed a sounding board. Brooke was empathetic and he was seeking her advice.Kley MacLean was the town's most eligible bachelor, or so the entire population seemed to think, but Brooke was far from convinced. For her it had been antipathy at first sight. So he might be tall, dark and handsome but his whole attitude left her cold. And if he misconstrued her friendship with Dave, what did it matter? She certainly wasn't interested in a new relationship. Or him.
