Book description
When beautiful Tessa Harrison and her twin cousins take over their
parents' Lancashire cotton mill, their luxurious upbringing has left
them unprepared for their new responsibilities. For Tessa, there is an
added but forbidden attraction at the mill. Foreman Will Broadbent, with
his genuine understanding of the business and its workers, could not be
more different from the dashing cousins. Yet, like the twins, he is
hopelessly in love with this untameable girl. Their love for Tessa will
lead one to death, one to the arms of another woman, a thrid too
faint-hearted to take up his inheritance. And Tessa, the girl who could
choose any man she wanted, is forced to shoulder more burdens than she
could have imagined before she can be united with the one man she truly
needs.'Her thousands of fans recognise the artistry of a true
storyteller' Lancashire Life 'Among the dross that constitutes the
Liverpool saga market for women, Howard's enjoyable 19th-century
historical romance of crossed love shines out.' Audrey Howard was born
in Liverpool in 1929. Before she began to write she had a variety of
jobs, among them hairdresser, model, shop assistant, cleaner and civil
servant. In 1981 she wrote the first of her novels when she was out of
work and living in Australia. There are now more than twenty, and her
fourth, THE JUNIPER BUSH, won the Boots Romantic Novel of the Year Award
in 1988. She now divides her time between her childhood home, St Anne's
on Sea, Lancashire, and a home in the Yorkshire Dales.
