A society belle. A tenacious newshound. A scandal to destroy their lives. Sydney, 1868. Poppy Barclay's privileged life shatters when her father's investment firm collapses amid shocking allegations of fraud. Jilted by her fiancé and shunned by the elite, the beautiful heiress finds herself an outcast, her dreams of a perfect marriage in ruins. She's determined to fight back, but Poppy's quest for justice pits her against the tenacious journalist Thomas Yates, who is bent on exposing the truth behind the Barclay disgrace. As the former Police Commissioner's son digs behind lies spun by powerful men, he confronts an agonizing dilemma: pursue the facts and endanger his career, or believe in a woman who rejects his help and dismisses him as a potential suitor. As the conspiracy against Poppy's family erupts into violence, the former deb is forced to question whether her hostility toward the persistent scribe is justified? Is he an enemy or an unlikely ally? With time running out and dangerous forces closing in, can the mismatched pair overcome their antagonism, or will they allow dirty politics to shatter their dreams and cost them their love? Poppy's Dilemma is a captivating murder mystery romance, and the first book in the Sisters of Barclay Square historical mystery series. If you like strong heroines, intriguing sweet romance, and a glimpse behind the glittering façade of colonial high society, then you'll adore Jenny Wheeler's fast-paced tale of deception and courage. Buy Poppy's Dilemma to discover a recipe for love and murder, while uncovering shocking truths today!

Autorenporträt
Jenny Wheeler is a former New Zealand newspaper and magazine editor and author of popular historical mysteries set in late 1860 and 1870s California. The Of Gold & Blood series made up of ten books, published 2018 - 2021, followed by the Homes At Last series, Sadie's Vow, Book 1 in the Home At Last series, first book published March 2022 and more coming. When she's not writing Jenny loves best to be outside in nature, in her Auckland garden or caravan at Whitianga on the Coromandel peninsula. She's a beginner beekeeper and a sometime genealogist (when she has time which is hardly ever.) Her DNA samples linked through ancestry.com appear to show Eleanor of Aquitaine is her great grandmother 26 generations back - which she finds utterly fascinating.
