Ismay Deagan has one wish in the world - to leave Ireland and join her brother, Bram, in Australia. However, her father has other ideas and orders her to marry their vicious neighbour Rory Flynn, even though she loathes him. But after Rory brutally attacks her Ismay realises she has to escape. So, disguising herself as an impoverished young widow, she sets sail for Australia, hoping to be reunited with her brother. When she meets Adam Treagar on the ship, she finally starts to believe her dreams of future happiness may come true. But before they even reach their destination they are flung into adventures in Suez, Ceylon and Singapore. Can Ismay tell Adam the truth about who she really is? What secrets is Adam himself hiding?

She meets and falls in love with a fellow traveller, Adam Treagar, who together with his foster mother is also moving to Freemantle to take up an inheritance. Adam has been bequeathed a half share in a trading schooner and some properties. Unfortunately, Ismay is being tracked by her vicious suitor who vows that no one other than he will marry her. As the story moves from Ireland to Singapore and finally on to Western Australia, Ismay and Adam grow ever closer.
Although it was obvious how this story would work out, I enjoyed the read very much. The author has the knack of giving the reader characters who you enjoy either rooting for or against. As Ismay escapes from her life of oppression, and Adam comes into his own in regards to his business, we can see that this is a couple that is made for each other. The book is a nice mix of familiar characters from the first book and new characters that I am certain will feature in some of the next stories. I look forward to continuing on and learning what will happen next. ( )
