From the author of the bestselling The Pearler's Wife, a riveting novel of seventeenth-century romance and intrigue. In 1683 life is gruelling for the young women in Amsterdam’s civic orphanage. The sole light in Johanna Timmerman’s existence is her forbidden love for Frans, an orphan in the boys’ section who has a smile like sunshine. Then he is gone, whisked across the globe to the Dutch East India Company’s nascent colony at Good Hope. Floriane Peronneau’s privileged world is pleasant and fulfilling until she discovers that it is all built on lies. Far from being the devoted gentleman he seems, her husband Claes is a womanizing degenerate who has led them to the edge of ruin. And the forces are closing in on him. While Johanna’s love drives her to make a shocking bargain to secure passage to the Cape, Floriane is caught in a terrifying game of cat and mouse. The two women’s lives could not be more different. Yet, on the long, dangerous voyage to the southern tip of Africa, they will become the best of friends – and co-conspirators . . .

The Trouble With Tigers

A gripping and sweeping tale of unforgettable adventures and unforgiveable secrets

By: Roxane Dhand

A highly accomplished novel, peopled by complex characters, most of whom are hiding secrets about themselves' Jasmina Svenne, Historical Novel Society 'This is a story with all the engaging elements of suspense and romance' FIVE STARS This compulsive tale is rich in atmosphere and page-turning intrigue' FIVE STARS 'The story is engaging from the start with enough twists and turns in the plot to keep you guessing right until the last page' FIVE STARS From the best-selling author of The Pearler's Wife, a gripping and immersive story of family secrets, sacrifice and romance set against the backdrop of a spell-binding circus in 20th Century India. Perfect for fans of books by Lucinda Riley and Dinah Jeffries. After her father died under mysterious circumstances, Lilly Myerson grew up in England raised by her grandparents. Married off at eighteen to a well-to-do but controlling Indian merchant, Lilly has never experienced adventure or romance. But in 1902 as a new king is about to be crowned, Lilly's life is destined to change. When her estranged mother invites her to spend the hot season in Nainital, Lilly's husband forces her to leave her beloved, five-year-old son Teddy behind. As Lilly discovers what lies outside her sheltered existence, she realises two things: she can't return to her carefully manicured life and she must rescue Teddy before his father turns him against her. Fleeing to the circus, Lilly enters a breath-taking world of wonder, romance and peril. Tiffert's Circus is renowned for bareback riding, the iron jaw act, trained tigers and elephants. The more dangerous the acts, the more the audience adore them. But the greater danger to Lilly Myerson is her husband Royce... *** Readers are loving The Trouble with Tigers! 'Brilliantly written.
