The Impossible Woman

Malcolm thought marriage was some sort of trap. Judy Campbell was youthful, petite and feminine-hardly the usual description of a truck-driving, sod-toting landscape gardener. But then, Malcolm Stewart was no ordinary client, either. The celebrated Sydney architect was handsome, funny and generous, and altogether too easy to fall in love with. Which made for an impossible situation, considering his attitude to marriage. It hurt Judy to learn that the man she loved resisted giving himself to a lifetime commitment. But it simply was not in her nature to settle for anything less.
