Blurb:

Separated from his mother at birth, Matt Jones is a brash, confident young man who comes to Australia in search of his origins.  Once he finds his family, there are stormy undercurrents with a jealous younger brother and an illicit relationship with Isabella, an innocent neighbour. 

Isabella is heartbroken when he leaves her to try his luck at the goldfields.  Matt's family intervenes on Isabella's behalf, but only a near-tragedy will make him realise how much he loves her.  But will she ever have him back, and can he also resolve the conflict with his brother?

Reviews/quotes:

Quote:

"The day Matt Jones discovers his parents at Fenham Manor, England are not his blood kin, his world as he knows it, comes suddenly to an end. A HIDDEN LEGACY by Heather Garside is exquisitely crafted with vivid detail, and is tightly interwoven with sexual indiscretions and family scandals. Mathew must strive to grow up to face his new world.'

Review:

"I highly recommend A HIDDEN LEGACY, a Historical Romance written by Heather Garside for its intricate plotting, multifarious adventures, and the twisting tale of its family relationships. It's more than just a quick afternoon read.

Raised as the uneducated coachman's son, Matt Jones is astonished to discover the couple who raised him to his eighteenth birthday is not his blood kin. He heads for Australia, where it is reported his natural mother is married to a poor stockman. Wanting to know why she had rejected him when he was young, he follows the leads to seek her out. During his quest, he has his equestrian knowledge to fall back onto for employment.

In his arrogant, bad boy, adventurous fashion he uncovers the gossip behind his family's reputation, which is riddled with sexual indiscretions and scandal… from the affluent Ashfords, to the Kavanaghs, and the Jamiesons. Being a lady's man himself, he finds himself following in their footsteps, until Isabella Jamieson enters his life."
