Accomplished American artist Stella Wright’s beachside home in Cape Town is perched on the edge of land and sea, safety and vulnerability, the domestic and the wild. When Stella takes an afternoon swim, she is unprepared for the drama that unfolds. She and a nearby surfer are tracked by a giant great white shark that swims close enough so she can look it in the eye, leaving the two of them deeply traumatised.
The surfer – Ben – is a waterman who paints trawlers for a living. There is an almost instant attraction between them, but Stella is married to wealthy American financier Jack Barlow, and she and her husband are preparing to leave the country.
Stella and Ben begin a passionate affair. The two of them must face their fear of the water; Stella because beaches and oceans form the basis of her art, Ben because surfing is his passion. Into this situation Jack returns from overseas to tie up their affairs and bring Stella back to New York.
Stella must make a choice between the man who has reawakened her original passion for art, and the man who can give her everything else the world has to offer.
My Side of the Ocean is a novel of great empathy and insight, exploring essential questions about what it means to live, and love, when the secure foundations of a life have been ripped away.
Internationally bestselling author Sophie Irwin brings us another
delightful, escapist historical romance, led by an audacious
heroine who has suddenly inherited a fortune-but it has strings
attached... When shy Miss Eliza Balfour married the austere Earl of
Somerset, twenty years her senior, it was the match of the
season--no matter that he was not the husband Eliza wanted. Now,
ten years later, Eliza is widowed. Suddenly, she is left titled,
rich, and, for the first time in her life, utterly in control of
her own future. She's always lived by society's conventions, but
now, Eliza has resolved to do as she wants. And what she wants is
to head to Bath with her cousin Margaret, pursue painting, learn to
drive, and flirt with Bath's most alluring new resident, the
infamous Lord Melville. But when the ripples of Eliza's behavior
reach her late husband's nephew-who broke Eliza's heart, years
ago--Eliza will learn that freedom does not come without
consequences. The only way to ensure she can keep her fortune is to
avoid all scandal-but where's the fun in that?
