About the book
"Eligible bachelors in New Zealand" Marty Reddington felt such an outlandish claim deserved the joke she made about landing a rich sheep farmer. She did not sail from England to New Zealand only in search of a prosperous farmer for a husband but she was attractive and a good cook to boot so she wasn't likely to remain unattached for long. The only question was - which prosperous farmer would it be? It never entered her head that anyone would take her seriously, but someone had: Philip Griffiths, a New Zealand bachelor and sheep farmer! At the time, Marty had simply dismissed the grazier as having no sense of humor. It proved a far more difficult task when she discovered herself living next door to him!
