An historical romance examining duty, deceit and desire in 19th century Victoria, Australia.
It’s all arranged: Marriage to a man she’s never met.
Garrison Stewart is looking forward to the day when his daughter, Cora, will be wed to his former neighbour's son, just as had been arranged fifteen years ago.
But that arrangement had been made before Cora had grown up, before the Stewarts had immigrated to Australia, and before Cora had fallen in love with someone else.
Now, Cora is forced to choose between the love of her father and the love of a mysterious stranger...one who is all too secretive about his past...
A new historical romance that examines duty, deceit and desire in 19th century Victoria, from Australian author Meredith Resce.
I just finished this book and loved it. The inspiration for this story came from a house Corio Villa near Geelong. The house is the inspiration for the house in Cora Villa the rest is fiction. But after reading this book I want to see this house.

I really enjoyed that this book had a novel twist to a familiar plot.
