A Bold Pursuit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781067276409)

England, 1879.

Sarah Guest's life appears carefully ordered-until a brutal act shatters the future she imagined for herself. Bound by duty, reputation, and the quiet expectations of a minister's daughter, she must confront a choice that will alter the course of her life.

When an opportunity arises to travel aboard an immigrant ship bound for colonial New Zealand, Sarah seizes the chance to begin again. But escape is never simple. On the very day she boards the Hermione, she comes face to face with Heath-the man she once believed might share her future.

As the ship sails through the perilous Southern Ocean, Sarah is drawn into the role of the vessel's unofficial medic, tending illness and injury among passengers desperate for new beginnings. Amid rising tensions and uncertain loyalties, she must navigate not only the dangers of the journey, but the shifting ground of her own identity.

In a world shaped by class, distance, and consequence, Sarah must decide what she is willing to sacrifice-and what kind of future she dares to claim.

Inspired by a true family story, A Bold Pursuit is a richly detailed historical novel of resilience, restraint, and second chances at the edge of the world.

The first novel in the Bold Series.
