Wrongly convicted and transported from her homeland, Fanny Little thought she had endured the worst of her punishment—until she was assigned to ex-soldier Gordon McKenzie. Stripped of her dignity, she faces the ultimate humiliation: being auctioned off like property in a public marketplace.
Enter Phil Bentley, a man fleeing the reach of his jealous uncle, searching for a quiet existence on a remote farm. Instead, he finds sanctuary in a penal colony and comes to the aid of a desperate woman. Drawn into a dangerous battle against McKenzie’s cruelty, Phil vows to protect Fanny. Their alliance invites a storm of controversy, and their child,  Jas, finds himself in the crosshairs of McKenzie’s wrath. Bound by trauma and a shared desire for freedom, Phil and Fanny must confront the forces against them before everything they love is destroyed.    

Retiring in the middle of a COVID-19 lockdown, Sara found the time to write. Within four months, she finished three stories. Six years later, she has recently completed her 33rd work of fiction.
Her novels are inspired by her passion for Colonial Australia, giving her convict ancestors a voice.

Australian Colonial Novels, with a nice outcome.
