Love, Lies, and Legacies

A New Generation Claims A New Land (Cullen - Bartlett Dynasty, Book 2)

When Catherine Tedder’s husband dies suddenly in September 1822, she is left alone with two small girls, Margaret and Sarah.

Accepting the proposal of James Blay Jr. sees her trapped in a marriage of convenience - for him. Struggling with the vagaries of her wayward husband, Catherine and the girls are forced to adapt to his tyranny.

Moving them between Hobart and New Norfolk, James refuses to let the girls attend school. It's 1823, and Catherine's rights as a wife are limited.

After spending time in prison, James Blay Jr. appears to be a changed man: Attentive, caring, supportive. But then, a tragedy changes everything.
