Please HELP! I read this book on a loan about 15 years ago and i don't not remember the author or the title of the book.I have searched for the longest time to no avail. I Just remember parts of the story to the point where i left off. it is a historical romance with some suspense and mystery. Here's the story as I can best remember it:
The story starts off in England. The heroine (she has long curly red hair. lots of it and green eyes i think) has a useless drunkard father who wastes money. I think he tries to marry her off for money or some dubious reasons to an older terrible guy. she decides to dress up as a young man and runs away, catches a boat to Australia to try and find her brother who took a job at a ranch there. somehow (I don't call) she meets the owner of said ranch he figures out she's a girl and lets her have a job as a house-hand/ maid at the ranch.
On getting to the ranch she finds out her brother died- in some dubious/ suspicious drowning accident. she finds it suspicious because her brother was a good swimmer.
She is also seduced one night by the hero/ ranch owner who on finding out shes a virgin sends her away to another house owned by his family where his elderly aunt(or something of the sort) resides. I think the aunt figures out the heroine might be pregnant and decides she want to help her get the hero to fall in love with her.
Also the hero is engaged to some high class lady who is terrible and she is somehow connected to her brother's death and some other illegal matters going on around the ranch.
That's most of the details as i remember them. Sorry it's all jumbled up. ANY HELP is APPRECIATED.
