Ebook Deal of the Day: £3.32 “Unexpected Hero” by Gwendoline Ewins

London, 1806: “I have a cabin booked on the ‘Cambray’ bound for the Southern Seas,” he tells her mere hours before they are to be joined as one in the sight of God and Mama and Papa and her very best friend Deborah – then he has the gall to add: “You may accompany me – if you wish.”

She had toppled head over heels in love with him at first sight, now she wishes she had never set eyes on him and he regrets playing the fool. His ridiculous prank has compromised her. They are forced into a marriage neither wants, and an adventure beyond imagining.

The Southern Seas Series tells the stories of people who find themselves – for all sorts of reasons – on remote coral islands in the 1800’s. They include men and women, husbands and wives, daughters and sons, adventurers, seafarers, missionaries, traders, teachers, botanists, artists, beachcombers.
