Forbidden Frontier by Zana Bell

The perils and passions of convict Charlotte Badger

After surviving years of imprisonment in England, and now facing a 
seven year sentence in a new territory, convict Charlotte Badger dares to
contemplate a future of freedom and fortune. Strong, short-tempered, but
quick-witted, she is filled with determination for a better life.

Church minister Nathan Wesley, a loving husband and soon-to-be father,
is consumed by hopes of spreading his missionary work among the convicts.
His wife, Elizabeth, although fond of Nathan, feels his devotion stifles her
and harbours a passionate secret that could destroy the very foundation
of their marriage.

All three are on board the convict ship, Earl Cornwallis, to Port Jackson when 
their destinies become inextricably linked to Charlotte's determination,
Nathan's faith, and Elizabeth's suppressed desires.

Despite the hardship Charlotte faces in Port Jackson and her subsequent
misadventures in New Zealand, her unquenchable spirit never loses the
power to love and her journey beyond England's borders becomes one of
self-discovery and ultimately one of triumph over adversity.

Set in the 18th Century Forbidden Frontier is the story of the bonds that
unite and those that destroy.

A gripping story of passion, prejudice and fate that brilliantly portrays
the challenges and triumphs of convict life.
