THE GIRL FROM PINCHINARA

About the Book

Emmanuelle Louise Young, who only answers to Emma or Em, is The Girl from Pinchinara (her family property). She attended one of the best girls’ schools in Australia, graduated cum laude and at the age of eighteen is about to move to Indonesia to study language and culture.

Emma is watching the mustering of sheep when she clashes with Johnny, a mystery man working as a shearer, but in fact an active officer in Australia’s elite Special Air Service, or S.A.S. Their strong attraction leads Emma through romance, kidnap and threat until The Girl from Pinchinara eventually finds happiness in his arms.
