About this listen

 Bram Deagan has a thriving trading business, a growing family - and a gift for matchmaking. His dearest wish is to see his friends Dougal and Mitchell happily married too.

In England, Eleanor Prescott has been widowed and often thinks of Dougal McBride, the ship's captain who was a true friend to her. Does she dare return to Western Australia to find him?

Jacinta Blacklea is also a widow, desperate to protect her young son. When she hears of a man in Australia looking for a wife, she determines to grasp Mitchell Nash's invitation with both hands. But the troubles of her old life can't be easily left behind.

Both Eleanor and Jacinta bravely set off for Australia. But is it worth taking such a huge risk on the chance of happiness?

Critic reviews

This is that rare thing, a pacy page-turner with a ripping plot and characters you care about . . . [Anna Jacobs is] especially big on resourceful, admirable women. Great stuff!

So disappointed that this is the last in the series that’s narrated by Nicolette McKenzie.

Her interpretation and reading of this story have really brought it alive to me!

Fabulous series

This story held my interest from the beginning to the end and certainly didn’t want it to end so hope there will be a sequel as it would be interesting to know how all the lives of the characters progressed

Brilliant
