Sydney, 1868.

When Flora Augusta Ransome steps off the ship from London, she’s running from more than a broken engagement—she’s fleeing for her life. But escaping the clutches of an ambitious nobleman with powerful friends won’t be easy.

Hiding under an assumed name, Flora finds refuge at Petty’s Hotel, where fate introduces her to Heath Ransome—a quiet, self-made pastoralist whose rough manners conceal unexpected kindness.

Heath knows trouble when he sees it. Yet something about the runaway lady with the haunted eyes awakens both his curiosity and his heart. When scandal, blackmail, and a missing painting pull them into the same dangerous mystery, both must decide how much they’re willing to risk for truth—and for love.

A captivating story of courage, reinvention, and forbidden desire—set in the glittering yet treacherous world of colonial Sydney’s salons, racecourses, and secret societies.

Perfect for readers who love Belinda Alexandra, Christine Wells, and Deanna Raybourn.
