Coerced into allowing government spies to gather in their house, the Blake family are playing a dangerous game, hiding their involvement in the Rising from both enemies and friends. Across the water on Longstone, Eva is building her unlikely new life with the man she loves. But she and Finn are hiding a painful truth form their family - a truth that could take away everything they have fought for; a truth that is dangerously close to being revealed. While Eva fights to keep her secrets hidden, her sister Harriet makes her own underhand plans to bring her dream of becoming an artist to life. But when she finds herself unwittingly involved with Jacobite criminals, Harriet makes a discovery that has the power to bring her to her knees - taking the rest of the family down with her.
Journey through the colonies of nineteenth-century Australia with three standalone novels of love, loss, survival and redemption. Collection includes:One of Us BuriedIn 1806, a fateful decision sends Eleanor Marling from the salons of London to a prison ship bound for New South Wales. She is put to work at the female factory of Parramatta, where the women's only hope of food and lodgings is to offer their bodies to the settlement's men. Nell is given shelter by Lieutenant Blackwell, a brooding soldier to whom she is inexplicably drawn. Despite warnings from the other women, Blackwell's motives seem decent, and beneath the roof of a military officer, Nell sees a chance to become more than just a convict woman sent to the factory to be forgotten. But tensions are high in New South Wales, with the young colony on the verge of a convict rebellion. And as Nell treads a dangerous line between obedience and power, she learns the role of a factory lass is to remain silent - or face a walk to the gallows. Forgotten PlacesEnglish settler Grace Ashwell flees an abusive lover in Hobart Town, with six-year-old Violet in tow. Deep in the wilderness, they find a crude hut inhabited by Alexander Dalton, an escaped convict long presumed dead. Hiding from civilisation in an attempt to forget his horrifying past, Alexander struggles to let Grace into his world. When Violet disappears, Grace's fragile trust in Alexander is put to the test. And while she searches for answers, he will do anything to keep his secrets inside.

And as she seeks happiness on the fringes of society, Lucy finds herself entangled in a web of lies and corruption - one she may never escape from.
