Mystic Australia by Tricia McGill
Australian Historical Settlers Collection Book 1
In the early 1800s the penal colony of Botany Bay was no place for cowards. Courage and persistence were traits essential to the settlers who carved out a new life in a raw land.
In the early 1800s the penal colony of Botany Bay was an unforgiving and harsh place. Isabella O’Shea is transported to New South Wales for wounding a member of the British aristocracy who raped her, so it is understandable that she loathes members of the upper class and the system that punished her; sentenced her to seven years transportation.
Tiger Carstairs is rich, ambitious and English-so is it any wonder she is determined to hate her new master. Tiger dreams of making a new life beyond the aptly named Blue Mountains, so called because of the perpetual haze of blue surrounding them.
Isabella and Tiger face tragedy and many hardships in their quest for a new life in this untamed land.
