When Upon Life's Billows
Sydney 1795-1821 - Governor John Hunter
Keep Your friends close, and your enemies closer.
John Hunter loved his life at sea. The wind blows where no man knows, and John is caught in a storm. His ship, the HMS Sirius, was wrecked in 1790. Five years later, he became the second governor of the rough and filthy penal settlement of New South Wales. From a place he once loved, he now seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, trusting the wrong people.
Helena Rosedale is not your typical female convict. She fiercely battles to prevent the men from abusing her, earning her the nickname “Helena the Hellcat.”
Crispin Milroy, alone in the world, serves on the new governor’s security detail. Can he win the fair lady’s heart? Life in 1795 in Sydney Cove is harsh at best. Food is scarce, and disease often ravages the settlement.
Life throws everything at these three, yet somehow, they manage to survive.
Why does John trust this young couple when others betray him? What trials must Helena and Crispin endure to make their new lives in this unforgiving town bearable? How can John ease their path?
