About this series
The third volume in The Contraband Shore trilogy.
1787: Captain Edward Brazier is wounded and in desperate need of medical attention, but his allies have no idea where he is—although neither do his enemies. With his beloved Betsey facing confinement in an asylum at the behest of her brother, time is running out for both.
Can Brazier save Betsey, or are his hopes to be dashed by matters about which he could not have known? The revelations will blow apart the den of criminality in which the smuggling town of Deal, and those who live in it, have existed for too long.

- The Contraband Shore
The first volume in The Contraband Shore trilogy. 1787: Captain Edward Brazier is on a mission. Recently paid off from his frigate and comfortable with prize money, he is headed to Deal to propose marriage to the lovely young widow Betsey Langridge. And while there, he must navigate the bustle of the town’s narrow streets busy with illicit and depraved business flowing from and around the ships at anchor. But all does not go well; between Betsey’s brother and guardian, Henry Tulkington, prohibiting the match and Brazier being marked out for trouble by a local smuggling gang, his plans are in disarray. And when it slowly emerges that there may have been a decades-old injustice closer to home, Brazier is caught up in more than he’d bargained for.
- A Lawless Place: A Contraband Shore Novel
The second volume in The Contraband Shore trilogy. 1787: Captain Edward Brazier is devastated to find Betsey, the woman he wants to marry, imprisoned in her own home by her brother, Henry Tulkington, and trapped in an illegal marriage. With Brazier suspected of acting as a spy for a prime minister seeking to halt smuggling activity on the coast and still posing a threat to Betsey’s increasingly deranged brother, he is walking a dangerously fine line. But Tulkington’s arrogance is making him enemies, even in his own family, and his actions are becoming increasingly violent towards everyone who thinks to defy him. Brazier's only option is to join with the darker denizens of Deal in the hope of constructing an alliance which will see his lady freed.
