Flying halfway 'round the world to meet his potential soul mate sounds like a fine idea to Dylan Sullivan - until he discovers said soul mate, Annie, has gone looking for him. In Australia. Now Dylan's adrift, a bloke from the Outback alone in the bloody big city. Until he's rescued by Monet, a gorgeous local artist? and Annie's best friend. A dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker, Monet has never met anyone like Dylan. Taking temporary care of the sizzling-hot cowboy is easy; he's friendly, funny and interesting.

Keeping her hands off him is decidedly not easy. That horny accent, that killer grin... and as a successful artist, Monet is very much a hands-on sort of girl. Dylan and Monet hold back until they learn Annie is engaged in her own foreign affair in Oz. Then all bets - and clothes - are off. But it can only be a fling. An Aussie cowboy doesn't belong in New York any more than a city girl belongs in the Outback. Now if only their hearts would listen.
