## Description

Singapore in the 1860s is exotic and yet terrifying for Isabella Saunders, a penniless Englishwoman, alone and vulnerable after her mother's death. Too pretty to obtain a governess's job, she accepts an offer from Mr Lee, a Singapore merchant, to teach him English and live with his family. Two years later Bram Deagan arrives in the country, determined to make his fortune as a trader. Mr Lee sees a way to expand his business connections and persuades Isabella to marry Bram, and she bravely sets sail for a new land and life. But the past casts a long shadow and together they face unexpected dangers. Will they ever be able to achieve their dreams - and find happiness together along the way? ******************* What readers are saying about THE TRADER'S WIFE 'This is women's fiction at its very best' - 5 stars 'I loved this book' - 5 stars 'Fantastic, couldn't put it down' - 5 stars 'I love Anna Jacobs books and never want them to end' - 5 stars 'Like all her books, excellent' - 5 stars
