Passions in the Dust
SYNOPSIS
When
Duke Seth Kenner arrived in Bowen, Australia, never could he have
imagined that in a few short years he would be the wealthiest
property owner in the state. He had birthright, money, property…but
he didn’t have love.
Once
there was a woman Seth had wanted to spend his forever’s with, but
he had been forced to leave Ella Matthis back in England. Out of
desperation he agreed to order a mail order bride, hoping if nothing
else to fill the void Ella had left in his heart.
When
his mail order bride arrived at his cattle station in Bowen, he was
well surprised to see the woman who was once his lover standing
before him.
Ella
Matthis had watched the man she loved sail away with another woman to
a far off country. Her life crumbled around her from that moment –
she lost her home – her family – her social standing. Ella had
nothing.
When
she was asked to take her mistresses place as a mail order bride to
Australia, Ella immediately accepted, hoping this new land would give
her a freedom she had never known; and a new start so she could
finally leave behind her past and those still hunting her.
Ella
knew nothing of this man she was going to meet, nor did she care for
she knew he could never replace the man she had already surrendered
her heart to.
Though
still bitter at each other, neither Seth nor Ella can ignore the
burning passion that still lays smouldering just beneath the surface.
Together they face cattle rustlers and scrub fires, poisoned and
shot livestock, and police who constantly turn a blind eye; each
calamity drawing them closer and closer until finally they are again
surrendering their desires to each other, their passions igniting a
flame neither had felt before.
Only
when those hunting Ella track her to Australia does her life again
begin to unravel. Though Seth had sworn to protect her, he too soon
finds it isn’t only her past that has found them here in Bowen. He
too has some explanations to make when Ella learns he still has a
wife back in England.
Prue had seen
something the night her father was murdered – something that would
forever change her life…
…She had seen
something that would continue to haunt her and follow her wherever
she went.
When she had
married the Earl of Malloy, Prue had hoped to be able to hide under
his name and at his out of town estate.
What she had not
thought was to become his son’s MISTRESS OF PURITY.
Gareth had sworn
never to return to his father’s estate, not to the life he had once
thought to have there.
He had hoped that
the man he had grown in to was no longer hoping to find the love of a
woman he knew could not possibly exist.
What Gareth had not
wanted was to find his comfort in the arms of his father’s young
wife…a woman he knew was hiding far more than just one secret from
him.
About Faye Hall:
Faye Hall's passion driven, mystery filled books are set in small townships of North Queensland, Australia during the late 1800's.
Each of her novels bring something symbolically Australian to her readers, from Aboriginal herbal remedies, to certain gemstones naturally only found in this part of the world.
Each of her books tell of a passionate connection between the hero and
heroine, surrounded and threatened by deceit, scandal, theft and
sometimes even murder.
These romances swerve from the traditional romances as Faye aims to give her readers so much more intrigue, whilst also revealing the hidden histories of rural townships of North Queensland.
Faye finds her inspiration from the histories of not only the township she grew up in, but the many surrounding it. She also bases most of her characters on people she has met in her life.
Faye was able to live her own passion driven romance, marrying the love of her life after a whirlwind romance in 2013. Together they are raising their 9 children in a remote country town in northern Queensland, Australia.

Interview with Faye Hall:
1. Can you tell us a little about your books?
Mistress of Purity is my third release with Red Sage Publishing and is set in Sarina, Queensland, Australia during the late 1800's. It tells a very intriguing tale of love and lust, murder and deceit. Gareth and Prue are the main characters of the book and though they have a very intimate start to their relationship, everything seems to take a more challenging turn when Gareth discovers his lover was once married to his now deceased father. There is also a love story uncovered between two sub-characters, Rosie and Tommy, which just melts your heart.
Passions in the Dust is my fourth release, also with Red Sage Publishing, and it is set in Bowen, Queensland, Australia. The two main characters, Seth and Ella, begin their story in England before they are ripped away from each other, one by the greed of his surviving family, the other by the death of her father and forced abandonment of her standing in society. By pure circumstance they are reunited when Ella joins Seth in Australia as his mail order bride, and together they are forced to fight bush fires and cattle rustlers to save their cattle station and in turn their lives.
2. Do you have a favorite character to write about?
Not really. I enjoy writing all the characters I create at the time, all for different reasons. But if I had to pick a favorite of all my four books it would have to Rush Mullens from My Gift to you.
3. Do you have to do a lot of research to write Historical Fiction?
I tend to only because I like to use real names for passenger ships between England and Australia, and also actual names of the Inns and taverns. A lot of my books also mention Aboriginal remedies so I've had to research to make sure they were correct.
4. When did you first know you wanted to write a book?
I have always loved writing, but I guess I got really serious about it towards the end of high school.
5. Do you have a favorite spot to write?
My bedroom on my computer, though I still resort to pad and pen when I just can't seem to get the story right in my head.
6. Do you listen to music while you write?
Most of the time I do. I have a very large range of music that I enjoy.
7. What's one random fact about yourself that you can share?
I have a lot of tattoos.
8. What is your all-time favorite book?
To kill a mockingbird.
9. What writing projects are you currently working on?
Currently writing book number 7 - Lust & Chastity - whilst two other scripts are being considered. It's kind of my own take of the seven deadly sins and heavenly virtues.
