The Runaway Lady
Jenny Wheeler
Sydney may cost her everything.
Arriving in the colonies to escape a dangerous suitor, Flora Augusta O’Reilly expects anonymity and peace. Instead, she steps straight into a labyrinth of secrets: a missing document, an unfinished painting, and a land claim tied to her family’s past. Someone wants the truth hidden—someone ruthless.
Her one reluctant ally is Heath Ransome, a quietly honourable grazier whose first encounter with Flora ends in sparks. Their partnership is uneasy, their attraction inconvenient, but danger forces them together as they unravel a conspiracy powerful enough to destroy lives.
Perfect for readers of Kate Morton, Christine Wells, Tea Cooper, and Belinda Alexandra.
Suspense, slow-burn romance, and the glittering shadow-world of Victorian Sydney combine in a story of courage, passion, and buried betrayal.
