  PENNINGTON FAMILY SERIES
  A JILTED BRIDE...
  A DUEL AT DAWN...
  A LONG-HIDDEN SECRET...
  A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE...
   
  Lady Josephine Pennington was jilted by her fiancé once rumors spread about her questionable origins. Her adoptive parents have always provided her with the love and protection she's needed to feel secure, and over the last sixteen years she's molded herself to meet the expectations of others. When she receives a package from the Highlands containing sketches where the subject is eerily familiar, Jo believes she might have found a clue to the identity of her birth mother.
  When Captain Wynne Melfort ended his engagement to Jo Pennington sixteen years ago, he never imagined he would see her again. But after he uncovers information that could reveal the truth about Jo's parentage, Wynne feels bound by duty to right an old wrong and inform her of his find. But he never expected feelings long thought dead to resurface.
  Jo must learn how to trust Wynn as they strive to unravel the mystery of her birth. But forces emerge that will stop at nothing to keep her from uncovering the truth and reclaiming her legacy. Together, she and Wynne must overcome their past and fight a deadly menace lurking deep in the Highland mists.

  The faraway land of the house...

  Sewerage ghost towns. They exist. Just ask Sorrowing Father, Dear Daughter and Blackened boy, and Yankee doodle dandy that smiles with the eyes and his shadowy mate. They and other characters tell the untold story of the community once living on Melbourne’s Metropolitan Sewerage Farm through a timeless reality. 
  The faraway land of the house and two cows is a story like no other. Unique because it’s the story of a community once living beside land filtration and grass filtration paddocks being watered 24 hours a day with Melbourne’s sewage. And it’s told in a way that combines fact, memories and legendary tales, by characters with their own connection to the place. 
  The faraway land of the house and two cows is a must read story about the families that built and maintained the Metropolitan Sewerage Farm: from early workers and their families arriving in the 1890s to camp on the foreshore, living and working through the great Depression, both world wars and boom times of the 1950s, to ultimately move away from four main settlements on the sewerage farm to leave an abandoned town in the 1970s. The community was behind the making of one of Australia’s most important civic works projects from the 1890s into the 1900s, providing job security during the 1890s economic crash and the 1930s depression.

  Gloucestershire, 1813. Miss Mary Lound of Tapley End would be the first to say that she demonstrates more grace with a fishing rod in her hand than she might ever twirling in a ballroom. This was not, however, a problem until her ne'er-do-well brother sold the family estate, leaving Mary and her mother in very straitened circumstances. When the new owner, Sir Rowland Kempsey, takes up residence, Mary decides to direct her energies into recovering her beloved home by catching a husband. 
   
  Promisingly Sir Rowland thinks Miss Lound is a breath of fresh air. But with awkward attempts at flirtation, a duplicitous predator at large in the neighbourhood and the emergence of feelings that complicate her pragmatic goal, Mary discovers that landing the man she wants is more difficult than she had anticipated.
