Sydney Cove 1787

Debut novel

Lady Hartley’s Husbands

My debut novel, Lady Hartley’s husbands, an historical saga, is now published by Fantastic Books Publishing, available on Amazon

Reenie Meadows, from humble origins, is ambitious in her search for ultimate happiness, especially after her first failed romance. Moving from Cornwall to London suburbia a year before World War 2 breaks out, her life at seventeen years old changes drastically. With challenges and a controlling mother, Reenie eventually marries Harold Hartley, a successful businessman. A 30 year age-gap seems unimportant when it brings the wealth and status Reenie now desires. Yet . . . she soon realises, despite possessing every material luxury, her goal still hasn’t been reached. Can a second marriage after Harold’s death, bring that vital missing ingredient? And what are Chris Penselle’s motives when he hears of the new Lady of the Manor’s arrival in his sleepy Cotswold village?
