Synopsis:
When the Black
Swallow sinks off the Australian coast in 1877, Australian midshipman Tom
Darley rescues English passenger Ada Carmichael from the disaster that claims
her entire family. News of the only two survivors enchants the world, but Ada
needs to hide before secrets and old foes find her. Tom is chasing big dreams
of a crumbling house he will convert into a small hotel ~ but the promising
start he’s acquired now sits at the bottom of the sea.
Inexplicably
entangled, Ada and Tom lean upon each other to make sense of the tragedy that’s
displaced them. But when scheming journalists observe their affection they drag
Tom into life-altering riches and a news-worthy romance he cannot resist. So he
arranges for Ada’s protection where only he might find her ~ the quiet Phillip
Island farm of his friends Shadrach and Finella Jones.
And
that’s where real trouble finds them. When heroic promises fail to shelter, and
love refuses to be silenced, only surrender will pluck Ada and Tom from where
life has wrecked them.

Gorgeous and gripping, Carry Me Away is a novel you won’t forget. Ada
and Tom’s deep attraction and clashing needs create a poignant love story, and
Dorothy Adamek writes about grief and love in a way that is palpable and
heartfelt. But the ending—oh, the ending! So sweet and triumphant and affirming
that I want to tell everyone—except I want you to discover it for yourself. Let
the lovely writing carry you away to picturesque Phillip Island, and be swept
away by Tom and Ada’s tale.

Carry Me Away is another beautiful tale from the imagination and heart
of Dorothy Adamek. This Australian-born storyteller had me at the first line
and secured her hold on me with a hero worth rooting for. Based on true events
of a late 19th-century shipwreck off the coast near Melbourne, this lyrical,
heartfelt journey of two battered souls finding healing, redemption, and love
will keep the pages turning—as will lush descriptions sure to make readers long
to take a trip Down Under. –Tamara Leigh, USA Today bestselling author
