No Place In Eden

It’s 1936, and high in the wild hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean, twenty-eight-year-old Olympia Steiner’s existence is lonely and unexciting, unlike that of her friend, Ruby. Glamorous and confident, and with a successful marriage as well, every November Ruby arrives with gifts and gossip from the city.

But that autumn, tragedy strikes and a terrible accident leaves Olympia’s much-older husband bedridden and morose.  With his eldest son determined to step in and take the family business in a new direction, Olympia comes to realise her place on the farm is no longer assured. Nor can she count on his other son, the wickedly attractive Marshall, as an ally.
 
But that is not the worst of it. Olympia hides two secrets, and being hopelessly in love with the one man society will never let her have, is only one of them. Facing ostracism if she follows her heart, will she turn her back on everything she knows and gamble on her one chance at happiness?

Following on from Far Side Of The Ocean, and moving from New Zealand back to patriotic London in the months before WW2, No Place In Eden is a riveting story of hidden truths, duty, and an unswerving love.
