Runaway Girl
by Lucy Walker
But for her parents’ determination to marry her off to serious-minded John Downing, Jenny Haseltine might never have left her home at Yarandoo. But when she sees the advertisement for a safari cook to join a mining expedition to the Outback, it seems like a heaven-sent chance to get away for a while.
Jenny’s new colleagues make her feel welcome, but when their handsome boss, Drew Carey, pays her special attention, she earns the enmity of the only other girl among them – beautiful, efficient Nicole Armstrong. Nicole does her best to show Jenny up, but Jenny finds a protector in the shape of Geoff Hallam, and old schoolfriend and geologist. Soon Jenny begins to look at Geoff with new eyes…
