A First Fleet Love Story
Her dreams lead to unexpected outcomes. A forbidden attraction has dire consequences.
*****
Annie Soames is shattered by an accident that paralyses her aunt; her life changed in the blink of an eye. She takes the position as a carer for the nearby recently married Marchioness.
Oliver Quilpie, the Marquess, discovers his arranged union is not to his taste; he is drawn to his wife's companion. Unfortunately, he is unable to keep his hands off her. Then, she vanishes.
However, her feelings for him are not straightforward. Is it love or hate? For revenge because of his actions, she dresses as a highwayman and mimics his every move. She is dressed in costume when she passes out and is arrested and transported. The First Fleet vessel, the Lady Penrhyn, carries her halfway across the world as a convict, far from all she loves.
Years pass before Annie's whereabouts are revealed. An unexpected messenger brings news, and Oliver is horrified to discover Annie was transported to New South Wales as a convict. He is shattered at the revelation that his malicious wife is responsible for her arrest. Will Annie survive the harshness of the new penal colony? Will she want to see him?
