THE CURRENCY LASS

She can run but she can't hide...

As her father's only heir, Catherine Cottingham expects to inherit their sprawling property in the Hunter Valley. What she doesn't understand is why her father is trying to push her into a marriage to the pompous and repulsive Sydney businessman Henry W. Bartholomew. When the will is read, it becomes clear money, or the lack of it, lay behind her father's plans.

Catherine is mortifiedโ€”as a married woman, all her possessions will pass to her husband, the overbearing Bartholomew. Her only alternative is to wait until her twenty-first birthday and inherit the property in her own right, but can she elude such a determined man until then?

A chance encounter with a travelling circus and its fiery lead performer, Sergey Petrov, offers the perfect solution, and Catherine escapes to the goldfields. But there is more to the circus than spangles and sawdust, and Catherine finds herself drawn into a far-reaching web of fraud and forgery...

A stunning new novel from the bestselling author of The Horse Thief and The Cedar Cutter, The Currency Lass will captivate readers with its tale of intrigue and adventure.
