James Barratt emigrated to Australia to make his fortune and has succeeded. After his fiance jilts him, he takes a mistress, vowing never to fall in love again. But she convinces him to try again.
In Melbourne, Anne changes her names and answers James' advertisement for a wife! Their attraction becomes love but her bliss is short lived when her past returns to haunt her and, once again, she is forced to flee. Pregnant and homeless, Anne struggles to resolve her future alone until the real truth is uncovered."

My current Australian saga is almost complete, tracing the lives and destiny of the Penross family of Kooringal run, led by ambitious patriarch, Duncan Penross, in Victoria's pastoral Western District, from the 1830s [originally Port Phillip colony].

I am also planning and developing a number of modern romance trilogies set along the glorious Australian coastline and beaches, in country villages and in the vast outback.
