About this ebook
When he wasn't working as a blacksmith, Jack Murphy had been content to live by his wits, gambling, drinking and generally enjoying himself, until a revelation on his mother's deathbed sets his world upside down and puts Jack on a course for revenge.
When Jack finds out that a Bank Manager and police Trooper had killed his father, stolen their farm and fortune, and forced his mother into a life of prostitution, he vows not to rest until he'd ruined one and killed the other.
His father had been falsely accused of being a bushranger, so Jack decides to give the Trooper, Sam Cowper, a real one to contend with. As 'Gentleman Jack', he and his gang rob and raid the Bathurst district while Cowper's men are powerless to stop them as Jack melts back to his respectable life in Sydney.
Jack has everything under control... until he steals a kiss from Miss Maryanne O'Connell during a robbery. He hadn't factored romance into his plans, but he can't seem to keep away from her - despite the fact she is betrothed to another man.
Things come to a head when a robbery goes horribly wrong throwing all Jack's plans awry and turning Maryanne against him. "Gentleman Jack" is suddenly wanted for murder and Maryanne is the only person who can identify him.
The girl he loves hates him, the troopers are after him, there are people in Sydney depending on him, and he has yet to avenge his parents. How is he going to pick up the pieces and salvage his plan now?

I had thought about writing a novel for a long time but never got around to it - so many things to do! While watching in dismay as the release date for a favourite author's latest book got put back further and further, I decided to have a go at writing a romance myself.There are lots of Regency Romances set in England, but as I live in rural New South Wales, I thought I would base my story here. The result is my first novel, The Convict, set around Parramatta and the Hunter region in New South Wales in the 1830's. It is a romance between a convict and an innocent young lady. Not the usual regency romance!For my second story, I tried something contemporary. I read a blog from a book editor who mentioned a lack of stories featuring older women so... my next novel, Hell on Wheels, was a sexy romance between an older woman and a younger man, set in urban Sydney. Things get quite hot between this couple (adults only!)My third story, Parallel Wife, is a short paranormal adventure. Not strictly a romance but it does have some romantic elements. What would you do if you suddenly woke up in a parallel life in the middle of a drama you know nothing about? My heroine soon finds out!I think my fourth story, Gentleman Jack, is my best effort to date. It's a mix of romance, revenge and adventure set in Colonial New South Wales. Unlike my first historical novel, which was originally written to a romance formula, I just wrote this for myself. Knowing I was going straight to an e-book meant I didn't have to pad it out or worry there were too many secondary characters. They just appeared when they were needed.I hope you enjoy my stories and leave me some positive feedback.
