The Runaway Lady
(2025)(The first book in the Runaway Ladies of Sydney series)
A novel by Jenny Wheeler
Sydney, 1869. Flora Augusta O’Reilly has fled England to escape a dangerous suitor and the scandal he threatens to unleash. But life in the colonies offers no safety. A stolen document, an unfinished painting, and a parcel of disputed land draw her into a web of deception—one powerful men will kill to protect.
Her reluctant ally is Heath Ransome, a brooding grazier with secrets and loyalties of his own. Their clashes spark as fiercely as their attraction, but in Sydney’s glittering social world, nothing—and no one—is what they seem.
As Flora uncovers long-buried truths tied to her family, she must decide whom she can trust… and what she is prepared to sacrifice for justice and love.
A Victorian mystery of love, danger, and betrayal—perfect for fans of Kate Morton and Tea Cooper.
