    About this ebook


    Not Just A Governess by Carole Mortimer

    Darkly delicious Lord Adam Hawthorne doesn't care a whit for society – especially the tedium of finding a wife. So taking on a new governess for his young daughter shouldn't shake his steely disposition. Except Mrs Elena Leighton, an enigmatic widow, is a most intriguing addition to the household. Despite great impropriety, Lord Hawthorne is compelled to discover the real Elena – no matter what secrets are unveiled.

    Bought For Revenge by Sarah Mallory

    Captain Lucas Blackstone has survived Waterloo and come home uninjured. His body might be whole and still handsome, but like the burnt–out shell of his family's mansion, his soul is dark and troubled.

    Bright–eyed debutante Annabelle Havenham has no idea her fate is in his hands. His plans to settle old scores could mean her ruin. Is he villain enough to do it? Or will Annabelle's innocence melt his black heart?

    Runaway Lady by Claire Thornton

    With his curved Turkish sword, and dark, brooding looks, Harry Ward is a formidable adversary. So when Lady Saskia van Buren's life's in danger, she fled to London and hired Harry as her protector. But she soon finds herself longing for more than just safety in his strong arms…

    Carole Mortimer

    Zu den produktivsten und bekanntesten Autoren von Romanzen zählt die Britin Carole Mortimer. Im Alter von 18 Jahren veröffentlichte sie ihren ersten Liebesroman, inzwischen gibt es über 150 Romane von der Autorin. Der Stil der Autorin ist unverkennbar, er zeichnet sich durch brillante Charaktere sowie romantisch verwobene Geschichten aus. Weltweit hat sie sich in die Herzen vieler Leserinnen geschrieben. Nach der Schule begann Carole Mortimer eine Ausbildung zur Krankenschwester, musste die Ausbildung allerdings aufgrund eines Rückenleidens nach einem Jahr abbrechen. Danach arbeitete bei einer bekannten Papierfirma in der Computerabteilung. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt schrieb sie ihren ersten Liebesroman, das Manuskript wurde abgelehnt, da es zu kurz war und die Handlung nicht den Ansprüchen des Verlags genügte. Bevor sie einen zweiten Versuch wagte, schmollte sie nach eigenen Angaben erst einmal zwei Jahre. Das zweite Manuskript wurde dann allerdings angenommen, und es war der Beginn ihrer erfolgreichen Karriere als Autorin von modernen Liebesromanen. Sie selbst sagt, dass sie jeden Augenblick des Beginns ihrer Karriere genossen hat, sie war die jüngste Autorin des Verlags Mills & Boon. Carole Mortimer macht das Schreiben viel Freude, sie möchte gern mindestens weitere zwanzig Jahre für ihre Leserinnen schreiben. Geboren wurde Carole Mortimer 1960 in Ost-England, und zwar in einem winzigen Dorf. Sie sagt, das Dorf sei so klein, dass, sollte der Fahrer beim Durchfahren einmal zwinkern, er den Ort vollkommen übersehen könnte. Ihre Eltern leben immer noch in ihrem Geburtshaus, ihre Brüder wohnen in der Nähe der Eltern. Verheiratet ist sie mit Peter, ihr Mann brachte zwei Kinder mit in die Ehe, sie leben in einem wunderschönen Teil Englands. Die beiden haben vier Söhne, zusammen sind es sechs Kinder, zwischen dem ältesten und jüngsten bestehen 22 Jahre Altersunterschied. Außerdem haben sie einen Kleintierzoo sowie einen Hund, der zur Hälfte von einem Kojoten abstammt und den die Familie aus Kanada mitbrachte.

      Not a bad read but not outstanding, fairly predictable this one but well done all the same within it's limits.Lord Adam Hawthorne has problems trusting people, his wife betrayed him throughout their marriage, now she's dead and he has to deal with their daughter, now six, he's unsure of how to deal with her or how to treat her, particularly when she reminds him of his wife.Mrs Elena Leighton is the governess, with some secrets of her own, and their relationship is beginning to be more interesting than she thought it could be, will he forgive her lies.Fairly predictable, but quite readable.
