Publisher Description
Sentenced to death for a simple confidence trick, Mary Jebb escapes the gallows ... but her reprieve is harsh: seven years in the unforgiving penal colony of Botany Bay.
Yet Mary is determined not to be forgotten, sending two pennies, engraved with a promise, to the two men who sealed her fate.
Timid artist Grace Moore jumps at the opportunity to marry handsome gentleman Michael Croxon - happy if only to get away from her drunken father.
But when Grace takes on a new cook, the two penny heart love tokens reveal she is tied to a world she didn't know existed ... A world of deceit, double-crossing, revenge and murder.

The Penny Heart
This amazing story took me on a roller coaster journey I did not want to end. My heart was pounding & my senses alerted as I turned each page. The incredible amount of detail used enabled me to easily conjure up scenes in my imagination. I was eager to collect every snippet of evidence to help unravel each complex character. Huge credit to Martine Bailey for producing yet another unforgettable read. The proof is in the pudding, the ingredients are spot on and the eating of it leaves you wanting a second helping & the recipe!!
