Sydney, 1868. Poppy Barclay's privileged life shatters when her father's investment firm collapses amid shocking allegations of fraud. Jilted by her fiancé and shunned by the elite, the beautiful heiress finds herself an outcast, her dreams of a perfect marriage in ruins.
She’s determined to fight back, but Poppy's quest for justice pits her against the tenacious journalist Thomas Yates, who is bent on exposing the truth behind the Barclay disgrace.
As the former Police Commissioner’s son digs behind lies spun by powerful men, he confronts an agonizing dilemma: pursue the facts and endanger his career, or believe in a woman who rejects his help and dismisses him as a potential suitor.
As the conspiracy against Poppy’s family erupts into violence, the former deb is forced to question whether her hostility toward the persistent scribe is justified? Is he an enemy or an unlikely ally?
With time running out and dangerous forces closing in, can the mismatched pair overcome their antagonism, or will they allow dirty politics to shatter their dreams and cost them their love?
Poppy's Dilemma is the captivating first book in the Sisters of Barclay Square historical mystery series. If you like strong heroines, intriguing sweet romance, and a glimpse behind the glittering façade of colonial high society, then you'll adore Jenny Wheeler’s fast-paced tale of deception and courage.

I’ve been a magazine and newspaper editor, a health products entrepreneur and a devoted step-mother and step-grandmother. But I’m as surprised as anyone to have completed fourteen mysteries, and posted over 300 episodes on my popular fiction podcast, The Joys of Binge Reading.
When I started out writing, I had in mind a trilogy about three brothers in post-Gold Rush California. That series - Of Gold & Blood, - grew to ten books, and I’ve just kept going. Home At Last followed, set in San Francisco in the same post-Gold Rush period, followed and now I’ve embarked on a new historical series set in Sydney. Poppy’s Dilemma, #1 in the Sisters of Barclay Square series is my latest book.
I’m a Kiwi, loving my garden and my beehives in coastal Auckland, New Zealand. From my peaceful little kingdom, I love to think of readers around the world sitting down with a glass of wine or a cup of tea and visiting long-forgotten places and making fabulous new friends in my books.
