Auckland bordello owner Kitty Malloy understands men. But even she is taken aback when Silas Crawford asks her help with his young, naive wife. Thea Crawford has come to realise getting married was a terrible mistake and yearns to be free of her middle-aged over-bearing husband - and his constant demands. Darius is a playboy and adventurer. A favored customer at the bordello, when Thea is blackmailed into becoming one of Kitty's girls he sweeps her off her feet. But should she listen to the others when they tell her of his reputation? Or are his feelings for her real? From New Zealand to Australia's tropical Far North, The Bordello Girl is a story of the Roaring Twenties. Flappers and jazz. High spirits and hedonism. Friendships and betrayal. And a love that would last forever.

With the First World War now a ten-year memory, Jim wants a new life for his family. And where better to find it than the Empire and in particular New Zealand, where his brother has long settled. Dilys doesn't share her husband's dreams. She wants to stay in England, and if not in their cramped and run down back-street pub in Portsmouth, then somewhere else in the city. At nineteen and under her mother's watchful eye, Ruby is stifled. She wants to live a little. And with the Royal Naval dockyard a street or two away and the town full of sailors, she's spoilt for choice. Lilith has little interest in marriage. Or men for that matter. Preparing for her teaching exams and the certificate that will prove her proficiency in the classroom, her passion is politics and the growing movement for female equality. Two very different sisters with two very different dreams. That is, until Ruby's world comes crashing down. If you enjoyed Hilary Murray's The Bordello Girl, you will love Far Side Of The Ocean!
