Omschrijving

Victoria survives a car accident along with her employer's son and begins to care for the boy, who is now fatherless. Sir Peter kindly enough provides the two with a place to stay. Yet Sir Peter's fiancée who also inhabits the place is far from kind towards Victoria, whose feelings for the man of the house slowly begin to deepen. How can Victoria maintain this new-found stability in her life and the affections of Sir Peter over this vicious other woman? The romantic novel mapping out a dramatic love tale dates back to the 20th century and was written under one of Ida Pollock's pseudonyms, Susan Barrie.

A must-read for fans of literary romance and surprising twists of fate.

Susan Barrie is a pseudonym of Ida Pollock (1908 - 2013), a highly successful British writer of over 125 romance novels translated into numerous languages and published across the world. Ida Pollock has sold millions of copies over her 90-year career.

Pollock began writing when she was 10 years old. Ida has travelled widely, living in several different countries. She continues to be popular amongst both her devoted fan base and new readers alike. Pollock has been referred to as the "world's oldest novelist" who was still active at 105 and continued writing until her death.

On the occasion of her 105th birthday, Pollock was appointed honorary vice-president of the Romantic Novelists' Association, having been one of its founding members.

Ida Pollock wrote in a wide variety of pseudonyms: Joan M. Allen, Susan Barrie, Pamela Kent, Averil Ives, Anita Charles, Barbara Rowan, Jane Beaufort, Rose Burghley, Mary Whistler and Marguerite Bell.
