Jude Knight (Poradie kníh)

Jude Knight Poradie kníh

Táto autorka tvorí historické fikcie s prídavkom romantiky a napätia, často zasadené do regentského obdobia. Jej cieľom je preskúmať, čo sa stane s ľuďmi v ohnivom objatí vášnivého vzťahu, a rada využíva zápletky a skutočné nebezpečenstvo ako nástroje na trápenie svojich postáv. Verí, že strach z neúspechu môže brániť v naplnení snov, ale osobná strata ju inšpirovala k prekonaniu tejto prekážky a k zdieľaniu svojich príbehov so svetom. Jej diela sú ideálne pre čitateľov hľadajúcich pútavé príbehy, ktoré kombinujú historické pozadie s intenzívnymi medziľudskými vzťahmi a záhadami.

An accident brings them together. Will a scandal tear them apart? Bear Gavenor has retired from war and built a business restoring abandoned country manors to sell to the newly rich. He'd like to settle in one himself and raise a family, but the marriage mart is full of harpies like his mother. Rosa Neatham's war is just starting. Penniless and evicted from her home, she despairs of being able to care for her invalid father. When she returns to her former home to pick his favourite flower, she is injured in a fall. Bear, the new occupant of the cottage, offers shelter to her and her father. When scandal erupts, he offers more. He wants a family. She needs a protector. A marriage of convenience will suit them both, and perhaps grow to be more. When secrets, self-doubts, and old feuds threaten to destroy their budding relationship, can they grasp the thorn of scandal to gather the rose of love?
