Produktbeschreibung
From International award-winning author Bronwyn Parry comes a gripping historical novel of love and suspense. In the unusually wet summer of 1816, Emma Braithwaite struggles to keep her family's traditional wool cloth manufacturing company afloat. Her father has died, her brother is missing, and the new cotton factories are spreading, rendering the fine worsted fabrics the Braithwaites have made for generations, expensive and unfashionable. Being a woman in a man's world of trade is challenging enough, but when her warehouse catches fire it brings her only a step away from financial ruin and debtor's prison. After eight years of war, Major Adam Caldwell is returning for the first time to his family home, Rengarth Castle, when he stops to assist at a warehouse fire … and comes face-to-face with the woman he once loved and lost. Despite all his efforts to forget her, in truth she's never been far from his thoughts. He was unworthy of her then, and even more so now. But as the threats against Emma escalate, they discover that someone wants control of Emma's family company and is prepared to murder anyone in the way of getting it - including Emma.
Autorenporträt
Bronwyn Parry's six romantic thrillers set in remote NSW combine the emotion of a contemporary romance with the tension of a fast-paced crime plot and have been published in Australia, the UK, Germany and the Czech Republic. Her novels have won or been shortlisted for numerous awards, including the Romance Writers of America's prestigious Golden Heart, RITA, and Daphne du Maurier awards, the Australian Romance Readers awards for Favourite Romantic Suspense, and her fifth novel, Storm Clouds, is the first romantic suspense novel to be shortlisted for the Davitt Awards for crime fiction by Australian women. The North Wind, a Christmas novella, is a slight change of pace from Bronwyn's usual gritty romantic thriller. It's set in the same small town as the books in the Dungirri series, and there is a mystery to solve - but it's not quite as gritty and dangerous as the other books. It is Christmas, after all. Bronwyn lives in the New England tablelands of northern NSW and loves to travel in Australia's wild places.
