The Quarantine Station Kindle Edition

Kit sails with her young family from England to the colony of Victoria to find her husband, but a typhoid outbreak aboard the Ticonderoga means the ship must stop at the makeshift quarantine station. Having not heard from her husband in many months and expecting the worst of his fate at the goldfields, Kit begins to forge a new life for herself. Tom, the doctor in charge of the station should be a natural choice for a new husband, but her 12-year-old daughter is immediately smitten with Finley, the handsome young labourer and a childhood friend of Tom’s. As a newly appointed nurse, Kit becomes entangled in the disturbing aftermath of violence inflicted on both residents and native women at the station by an unknown assailant. Will one of the new men in her life be the protector a single young lady needs, or will Kit find the strength to stand on her own feet in this inhospitable and dangerous new land? Read more
