PENNY HEART

Sentenced to death for a simple confidence trick Mary Jebb escapes the gallows ...but her reprieve is harsh: seven years in the unforgiving penal colony of Botany Bay. Yet Mary is determined not to be forgotten sending two pennies engraved with a promise to the two men who sealed her fate. Timid artist Grace Moore jumps at the opportunity to marry handsome gentleman Michael Croxon - happy if only to get away from her drunken father. But when Grace takes on a new cook the two penny heart love tokens reveal she is tied to a world she didn't know existed ...A world of deceit double-crossing revenge and murder.
