Elizabeth Browne, Children's Nurse
Elizabeth had taken a post for a year on the coast of Provence in one last attempt to try and trace the sister from whom she had been separated since childhood. It was a very long shot, as all she knew was that Diana was living somewhere in France. But real life is often stranger than fiction, and Elizabeth did indeed find her sister - but found, too, that she was in love with the same man as Elizabeth herself; and that the dice were heavily loaded in her favour. For how could Louis de Sergeron, Comte d'Anelle, ever notice, let alone prefer, a humble English nanny when a beautiful, sophisticated woman of the world was his for the asking? Elizabeth could have borne the situation better had she been able to believe that Diana could make Louis happy - but her new-found sister was proving a disillusionment in every way. Should she go away and leave her a clear field, or stay on in the hope that Louis might come to his senses in time?
Brittle Bondage
Wedlocked? Rachel's marriage had ended in bitterness and tears. Ben had been unfaithful to her, she was sure, though, of course, he had denied it. Now their only point of contact was their small daughter, Daisy, and that suited Rachel. But when she announced, "Ben, I want a divorce. I've met someone else and we want to get married," her ex-husband's reaction was very surprising! Ben seemed reluctant to accept that their relationship was finally over and apparently had very definite ideas about where Rachel's future happiness lay. Did Rachel dare to believe that the brittle bonds still tying her to Ben could ever be the basis for a lifetime of loving...?
Portrait of Susan
Susan and her brother, Paul, were supremely happy managing Willowfield Farm in Rhodesia . . . until the owner returned. David Forrest believed in ruling with a strong hand; he also believed in keeping women in their proper place, but his idea of what that place should be didn’t coincide with high-spirited Susan’s. When he imported a widowed friend, all fragility without and iron-hard selfishness within, and expected Susan to act as her companion, it was almost too much . . . but Susan had to accept his decision for Paul’s sake. How long could the uneasy situation last without a blow-up of some kind?
