The Drummer and the Song

After a series of unhappy setbacks, Peta found herself trying to cope, singlehandedly, with a stud farm in Tasmania -- the "Apple Isle".

Her neighbour, Nat Trentham, could have been such a help -- if only he hadn't been so infuriating!

Peta and her Uncle Claud were full of plans for their future together. First Peta would go out to Tasmania - the 'Apple Isle' - with the horses; her uncle would follow, and they would go ahead with their plans for a stud farm. But everything fell through when Uncle Claud died before even leaving England. What was Peta to do now? Could she possibly cope on her own? The obvious solution would have been for her to accept the help of her next-door neighbour, Nat Trentham - but could she bring herself to? From their first meeting he had been difficult, dictatorial, sarcastic. Could Peta ever manage to sink her differences with such an infuriating man?
