Half A World Away

When Elizabeth Bennet journeys with her aunt to the distant colony of New South Wales, it is to claim a startling inheritance: a rough parcel of land, granted years ago to a forgotten relation. The promise of independence tempts her, yet danger shadows every boundary. Neighbours contest her right, the law wavers, and survival in this wild place demands both courage and allies.

But one face she never expected to see in Sydney Cove appears among the crowd: Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Once the man who broke her heart, he is now a gentleman in exile, remade by scandal and distance. His presence unsettles her as much as it steadies the fight for her claim.

Elizabeth has her daughter’s future to safeguard and a hard-won promise to herself not to trust him again. Yet as threats to her land grow bolder and Darcy’s presence and influence becomes undeniable, Elizabeth must confront the old wounds between them.

Will she be able to put aside anger and suspicion long enough to protect what is hers-and choose what might still be theirs?

Half A World Away is the fourth novel in a sweet, clean, ‘what if’ Pride and Prejudice variation series set in all corners of the British Empire and beyond, and is suitable for all lovers of Jane Austen’s romantic classic.
