Series: Smuggler's Wife
When 18-year-old Kitty Carlisle’s father dies in 1838, her suddenly impoverished mother hopes her beautiful daughter might at least find a good husband. But then Kitty is compromised by an unscrupulous adventurer, and she is banished in disgrace to the colonies.

In the infamous whaling port of Kororareka – known as the Hell-Hole of the Pacific – Kitty falls in love with Rian Farrell, a mysterious sea captain with secrets of his own. Shocking events force her to flee the Bay of Islands for Sydney, but her independent heart leads her into a web of illicit sexual liaison, betrayal and death.

Reviews for Kitty

'From start to finish, the author gives us a lively plot entwined with colonial history, and an insight into Maori and European traditions, values and expectations prevalent of that era.’ -- Heritage Matters ‘... historical romance writing at its best ... Challinor is extraordinarily talented.' -- New Zealand Books ‘Deborah Challinor’s heroines are always easy to cheer for.’ -- NZ Women’s Weekly
