About Unwanted Bride

They married for a cattle station. The inheritance was a joint affair, and Caryn and Sharn had to be married to qualify. Caryn hadn't seen the stranger she married since their wedding day. Then when she found herself without a home or a job, Caryn had no option but to go to Australia, to her husband. For reasons of his own, however, Sharn had kept his marriage secret. No one knew he was her husband, least of all Harriet Watson, who planned to marry Sharn herself.
