Orphaned, afraid and on the run, Chip must flee.
When greed and betrayal claim the lives of Chip Downes's parents, the young heir becomes the next target. With an unscrupulous uncle desperate to seize his title and fortune, Chip's only hope lies in Madeline Brougham, his mother's closest friend.
Loving the boy since birth, Maddie abandons her own future to spirit him away to safety. Her target: Australia, where Chip's protective Uncle Humphrey resides. But the journey across oceans to colonial New South Wales offers only a temporary respite.
As danger follows them from the streets of Sydney to the rugged Nepean River frontier, Maddie and her steadfast companion, Tim, are forced to run once more. From hidden farms to secret valleys-and even an Aboriginal encampment-Maddie will do whatever it takes to shield Chip. But with a relentless enemy closing in, will they ever find peace, or will Chip's birthright destroy them all?
Buy your copy of Madeline's Boy now to discover if Maddie can protect Chip.
