In 1860s New Zealand, young Elizabeth Nigel Helen embarks on a journey that will change her life forever. Leaving behind her beloved father in England, Elizabeth and her mother venture to the burgeoning colony of Dunedin, spurred by the allure of fortune from the gold rush. But what begins as a simple voyage soon transforms into an eye-opening adventure as Elizabeth grapples with the stark realities of colonial life.

Through her heartfelt journal entries, Elizabeth documents not only the beauty of New Zealand's untamed landscape but also the challenges of social inequality and prejudice. With the help of two unlikely friends-Aroha, a kind-hearted Māori boy, and Shū Yang, a spirited Chinese girl-Elizabeth finds herself drawn into a cause greater than herself: a fight for racial equality in a land torn between progress and division.

As she navigates family expectations, cultural differences, and the fierce opposition to her ideals, Elizabeth must summon her courage to stand for what is right, even when it means defying those closest to her.

"Bound By Ink - Eliza's Story" is a compelling historical novel about friendship, resilience, and the fight for justice in a rapidly changing world. Through Elizabeth's eyes, readers will experience the excitement and turmoil of a young colony-and the enduring hope for a more inclusive future.

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
