Beyond The Purple Hills

by Heather Graves

Overview

Maggie McDiarmit takes after her father Dermot in every respect: her wild red hair, her love of horses - and her weakness for picking pockets. After Maggie and Dermot have stolen the passage money, the McDiarmit family travel to Australia, land of opportunity. But old habits die hard and when her pickpocketing skills come to light Maggie is forced to flee from the city. Accepting grazier Callum MacGregor's offer of a domestic position on his family's property, Maggie instinctively trusts him. In fact it is almost as though she has met him before.

Soon Maggie realises why. Callum's younger brother, Hamish, from whom he is bitterly estranged, is none other than the young man her father robbed in Melbourne. Hamish has every reason to scorn and denounce her - but seeing his brother's undisguised interest in Maggie, he takes a more subtle revenge...
