Synopsis by Hal Erickson

The Australian Winds of Jarrah was inspired by a "Harlequin Romance" novel. Running away from a failed romance, stunning Englishwoman Susan Lyons heads to 19th century Australia. Here she pulls a "Jane Eyre", becoming nanny for the children of woman-hating Terence Donovan. The tried-and-true formula soon kicks in, and a bodice-ripping affair commences. Sure, Winds of Jarrah is trash...but it's classy trash.
