'Set in and around the penal colony of Botany Bay in the early 1800s, Blue Haze is a story of pride, love, courage and adversity. Isabella O'Shea loathes men, the English, and the system that sentenced her to seven years transportation for wounding the man who raped her. Tiger Carstairs is rich, English, and ambitious. Separated by pride and the past, Isabella and Tiger face hardship and tragedy in their quest for a new life in a new land.' - from publisher
