Shadows over the Delta: A gripping 1980s romantic suspense prequel set in the Okavango Delta.
About this ebook
As they work together in the stunning isolation of the Delta, Lucy finds herself drawn into a passionate, secret affair, awakening a part of herself she thought was lost. Yet, she can't escape the dark whispers surrounding Starky, connecting him to a 15-year-old hunting tragedy and rumours of an illegal poaching ring.
When her controlling ex-boyfriend suddenly appears in camp, determined to reclaim her, Lucy is caught in a triangle of desire, loyalty, and fear. She must decide what freedom truly means and who she can trust in a land where the most dangerous predator isn't always the one in the bush.
But as Lucy finds her new beginning, she has no idea she's just walked into a 15-year-old mystery... a mystery that will explode in Whispers in the Kalahari.
Drawn from the author’s own real-life experiences managing a luxury safari lodge in Botswana's Okavango Delta.

About the author
B.G. Nettelton writes sweeping Africa-set romantic suspense and women's fiction that pulse with adventure, drama, and danger.
Writing as Beverley Oakley, she's penned more than thirty Regency romps together with Victorian and Georgian romances woven with mystery and intrigue.
Born in the dramatic mountain kingdom of Lesotho, Beverley's life took a fairy-tale turn when she married the dashing Norwegian bush pilot who stole her heart in Botswana's pristine Okavango Delta while she managed a luxury safari lodge.
Though she launched her career as a journalist in Australia, it was during gruelling aerial survey contracts across remote corners of the globe—often as the only woman among rugged flight crews—that she discovered her escape writing romance novels, transforming isolation into inspiration.
When not spinning tales of passion and peril, Beverley indulges her love of historical costuming, knitting, and exploring new horizons.
She lives just north of Melbourne with the same wonderful man she whisked away from Botswana three decades ago, their youngest daughter (while their eldest has settled in Norway), and an adorably dopey Rhodesian Ridgeback who outweighs his mistress by a considerable margin.
Between writing sessions, she runs Wuthering Heights, a Bed and Breakfast and farmstay nestled in South Australia's picturesque Clare Valley wine region with her two sisters.
