About the book
Sara lived with her father at Kambala in Kenya and manages a game reserve. She was accustomed to do as she pleased there. Her uncle dies and her father goes back to England to sort out his late brother's estate. In the meantime the relief manager contracts malaria and that is where Steve York steps in. She certainly didn't think much of Steve York, the impossible man who came to take charge in her father's absence. 'It's asking for trouble to run around a game reserve as if it were a play park, ' he told her. Was Sara right to ignore him?
