"Wanted", the 'Australian Miner' had advertised, "a female who can take it." After adding that what would have to be taken was roughness, toughness, remote locality, no entertainment, it had given a number to ring. Alexandra got the job, and she was sure she could handle it and -- Stone (because he's hard) Wetherill into the bargain!

“Wanted,” the ad had said, “a female who can take it.” And Sandy Lawford, used to working on isolated mining projects before her father's death, had applied.
At the Australian desert campsite she found the job ill-defined and the boss obviously displeased with her lack of feminine charm. She tried to leave immediately. But Sandy was reminded of her signed contract and was forced to endure the taunts of Stone Wetherill, a man as hard as his name implied.
Hero: Stone Wetherill
Heroine: Sandy Lawford
