Rook's Crossing
He was sent across the world as a convict. Coming home may prove harder than leaving.
Sydney, 1796.
Daniel Rook has served his sentence and built a modest living on the waters of Sydney Cove. But in Bristol, England, the son he left behind is growing up without him. A letter from home makes one thing clear: if Daniel wants to be part of his boy's life, he can wait no longer.
Elinor Finch has plans of her own. For years she has helped run a busy lodging house in Sydney, and returning to England means surrendering a future she has worked hard to earn. She knows better than to depend on promises. Daniel Rook, with his stubborn pride and uncomfortable honesty, is the last complication she needs.
Yet friendship has a way of becoming something neither of them intended.
Their voyage to England is only the beginning.
In Bristol, Daniel finds a son who barely knows him and a past that has not been forgotten. Elinor must prove herself all over again. And when the sea offers Daniel another chance at a better living, they face a question neither can answer for the other.
He has crossed an ocean to come home. But can he learn what it means to stay?
Rook's Crossing is an atmospheric historical romance about imperfect people, hard-won love, family, forgiveness, and the courage to build a life together.
