Maggie Almond and the Masked Woman (The Maggie Almond Series, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A tantalizing Victorian romance that poses the question: are appearances always deceiving?

When Maggie moves with William to County Durham, she hopes to leave behind the devastating events of last summer in London.

But despite the challenges, hardship, and bitter prejudice she faced in London, Maggie yearns for the vibrancy of the capital and the sense she is making a difference. Overriding that is a more powerful undercurrent of unease in her relationship. William longs to marry and start a family. Maggie is terrified of losing herself and her independence.

Her restlessness evaporates with the arrival of three unexpected faces in the small mining community - Maggie's literary hero, her former nemesis, and the new owner of the beleaguered Stanley Pit, Matthew Drummond.

All bring an expectation of renewal and change. But Maggie soon finds herself locked in a devastating battle to safeguard the future of her new home and her principles, learning there are few people who don't wear a mask.

Steamy, swoonworthy and shamelessly feminist, Maggie Almond and the Masked Woman is perfect for fans of Bridgerton.

Autorenporträt

Whether contemporary or historical fiction, Jenny's books are about determined, strong females attempting to define their place in the world. With compassion and insight, Jenny clearly observes how women think and feel, and how they confront the many challenges that pave the road to their happiness and success. Her stories take readers on an emotional journey that is sometimes tragic, often romantic, and always inspiring. Jenny's books have been published in Australia, New Zealand, USA and Europe. Fans appreciate Jenny's approach to fiction, saying of The President's Lunch, "I loved this book and truly felt I was in the White House watching not only Eleanor and FDR but also witnessing a rebirth of America as they brought her out of depression and reluctantly faced a new challenge: war." Critics too have heaped praise on Jenny. Who Weekly boasted of her debut novel, Perfect North, "a true story so tragically romantic you couldn't make it up."One of Jenny's first non-fiction books, Who The Hell Is Pansy O'Hara?, was about the stories behind great novels - what it was that inspired the authors to write those books. As she researched, she realised most bestselling authors did not begin their careers as writers. By way of writing skills, all they possessed was a great grasp of language and an urge to tell a wonderful story. This gave Jenny, still an English teacher at the time, the inspiration to dip her toes into the waters of fiction. Whether she has been at home, living and working in another country, or travelling for the sake of adventure and research, she has never spent a single day without a book by her side. This meant slipping from the act of reading into the act of writing didn't actually seem that much of a change. "I do get a little bit lost in the research and writing process, but now I couldn't actually imagine life without it. The characters are fascinating to live with - so much so that sometimes it can be difficult to finally admit a book is finished!" Jenny says.Jenny lives in Canberra, Australia with her husband, two sons, and a lively Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Mick. She enjoys running, swimming and yoga daily as she believes staying active is an integral component of a happy writing life. Visit Jenny online at www.jennybondbooks.com.au.
