Petunia's Promise
(2025)(The third book in the Sisters of Barclay Square series)
A novel by Jenny Wheeler
In the shadows of 1868 Sydney, secrets smoulder behind the racing stables of the elite.
One letter. One lie. Everything she believed is about to burn.
Sydney, 1868: When a man dies in a suspicious fire at the private racing stables of Hugo Davenport—a celebrated barrister and trusted family friend—Petunia Barclay has no reason to question the tragedy. Until a letter from her late father hints at betrayal, fraud, and a dangerous secret buried close to home.
The victim, it seems, had been investigating Hugo’s hidden debts—and the possibility that he swindled Petunia’s father before his death. As Petunia begins to uncover the truth, she’s forced to turn to Clarrie O’Reilly—the one man she can’t quite trust, and can’t seem to forget.
He may be hiding something, but he’s also the only one who believes her.
And in a world where loyalty is tested and lies run deep, following her heart might be the riskiest move of all.
The final book in the Sisters of Barclay Square trilogy, Petunia’s Promise blends romantic suspense, family secrets, and Victorian-era intrigue in a richly drawn historical mystery.
Perfect for readers of Deanna Raybourn, Anna Lee Huber, and Fiona McIntosh.
Genre: Mystery
