 The Best Reviews: Karen Lingefelt, True Pretenses Review
Kit knows he needs to wed Serena as his father's will insists on it if he is to inherit, but she has refused, blaming him like everyone else does for the assault on her deaf aunt that sent him on a nine year exile.
Either way he must persuade his beloved that he did not attack her aunt, and that Alfred the Coachman and Kit the Duke are the same person willing to cherish Serena forever.
Serena, though why she fails to see that Alfred is more than just a coachman (for instance why was he in the library in the first place), is a fine individual who knows she should not love a commoner yet cannot stop loving her coachman.

 The Canning Stock Route - The Loneliest 4wd Track In The World
Named after Alfred Gibson, an explorer on the Giles expedition of 1876 who was lost while searching for water, this uninhabited arid wilderness measures about 60,200 square miles (155,900 square kms - about twice the size of South Carolina).

Rainfall is very unreliable, maybe 200 - 250mm (8 - 10 ins) a year, and the Gibson relies almost entirely on thunderstorms (there are up to 30 each year!) and the occasional tropical cyclone for its water.
