'When Karen's husband drowns off the postcard-perfect Queensland coast, five women realise they are no longer happy to simply tread water in the shallow end of the local pool - and life. Karen wants distraction from the grief that threatens to overwhelm her - and she needs to feel that she could save a drowning swimmer if she had to. Charlie, a divorced mother of two young boys, needs to get fit - and get back into the swim of dating. Then there's Cate, the goddess of the swimming pool, newly married to a much older man; Laura, the dependable local GP everyone turns to for advice; and Wendy, the brisk and capable leading light of the P&C. And all of them have secrets.

'Trading aquarobics for triathlon training, they cheer each other on to success, both in and out of the water. As their strokes improve, their friendship deepens and along the way they share tears, laughter and changing-room confidences.' (Publisher's blurb)

2 y separately published work icon Isabeau Anne De Lisle , Sydney : Bantam Books , 1998 Z1830752 1998 single work novel historical fiction 'Bent on delivering a treasonous letter to save her cause, Jacobite rebel Isabeau Macpherson is captured mid-flight by the enemy. Her captors are not the English, but more despised still - fellow Scots fighting against Bonnie Prince Charlie.

'The only sentence for a Jacobite traitor is death, but their enigmatic leader takes her prisoner instead. Despite her obvious hatred for him and all that he represents, Alastair Campbell is bewitched by his fearless and beautiful charge. When Isabeau escapes and is captured by the English and tortured, he risks everything to free her and make her his own.

'Torn between loyalty to her cause and love for a man who is her sworn enemy, Isabeau is forced to take sides in a battle that threatens to destroy them both.' (Publication summary)
