Book 2 of the Land and Sea Series
An ingenious covert enterprise spurs a town’s recovery from a devastating flood.
For Reverend Micklethwaite, this presents an unexpected opportunity, one that comes with a degree of risk. For his beloved niece, Rosalind, it creates a perceived threat, forcing her to make life-changing decisions in the face of conflicted loyalties.
Ashley Forsayth, newly appointed as a Customs official in the Australian colony of Queensland, is banished to this region after an overzealous act in Brisbane.
Expecting to languish in a remote backwater, he is instead plunged into conflict between benign players and criminal forces as his career is ravaged by official skulduggery. In the process, he must handle an ethical dilemma whilst navigating an impassioned but sometimes volatile relationship.
