A Sweeping Historical Drama of Love, Hate, Revenge, and Destiny
For readers who have enjoyed Anita Stansfield’s best-selling First Love and Forever series, this extraordinary novel tells the story of Michael Hamilton’s great-grandparents, whose journey toward love was larger than life and ruled by a destiny that was both kind and cruel. It is the unforgettable saga of two lives brought together by fate, then driven apart by the deceptions of a previous generation – a time when vengeance ruled passion, and passion ruined lives.
Jess Davies is the victim of a raging feud he doesn’t understand. He must fight to survive as he struggles to accept the twisted circumstances of his birth. Meanwhile, Alexandra Byrnehouse, shattered by events surrounding her fathers death, is forced to turn to her family’s oldest enemy in order to keep body and soul together.
When Jess Davies and Alexandra Byrnehouse meet, they unwittingly take on decades of mistrust, deception, and deep betrayals of the heart. Together they are confronted with arson and murder as they discover unbelievable secrets that first bind them to each other, then tear them apart. If they are to survive, they must learn that passions cannot be chosen-and only the most perfect love can heal the deepest scars.
The Gable Faces East is a true masterpiece of historical romance fiction-one of Anita Stansfield’s finest!

The powerful and moving sequel to The Gable Faces East.
It has been nearly two decades since Alexa Byrnehouse and Jess Davies married and started a family. Their twins, Emma and Tyson, have grown to adulthood, along with Lacey, who joined their family as a young girl rescued from the streets. The Byrnehouse-Davies station has prospered, and the family is one of the richest in Australia, known for its exceptional handling of horses and abandoned boys. Boys like Michael Hamilton, who seems born for trouble. Still, he holds a special place in Alexa’s heart-and he loves Emma helplessly, hopelessly from a distance as he works in the stables. Will their two worlds, now so far apart, ever come together?
In prose as vivid as the blue Australian sky, author Anita Stansfield expertly fashions a powerful saga of passion, betrayal, forgiveness, and ultimate redemption. Buffeted by events and circumstances that threaten to tear families and even lives asunder, Michael and Emma discover that “love and hate are very close in the heart.” For Tyson and Lacey, the lessons of acceptance and forgiveness hinge on a fragile bond of intimacy that can replenish or destroy them.
In Gables Against the Sky, Anita Stansfield has created a superb work in the time-honored tradition of historical romance fiction. Each page is a new revelation of love-and a happy ending is guaranteed!
