Les mariés de Noël : Noces de neige - L'alliance de Noël - La fiancée du sheikh

by Helen Brooks

Noces de neige, Helen Brooks

Blossom n’est pas du genre à croire au miracle de Noël : surtout depuis que son ex-époux l’a quittée après six mois de mariage… un soir de réveillon. Aussi refuse-t-elle de céder aux avances de Zak Hamilton, pourtant célibataire, multimillionnaire et convoité par toutes les femmes. Mais Zak, lui, est du genre à obtenir tout ce qu’il veut. Et ce qu’il veut, c’est Blossom !

L’alliance de Noël, Yvonne Lindsay

Emportée par l’euphorie des fêtes de fin d’année, Holly s’est abandonnée aux bras de son patron, l’irrésistible Connor Knight. Une folie qu’elle regrette à présent qu’elle est enceinte. Certes, Connor, en gentleman, a offert de prendre soin d’elle et du bébé à venir. Mais voudra-t-il encore l’épouser quand il découvrira le terrible secret qu’elle lui a caché ?

La fiancée du sheikh, Susan Mallery

Depuis son arrivée à El Deharia – où elle a choisi de passer le réveillon à enseigner à de jeunes orphelins – Kayleen est sous le charme de ce pays magnifique avec ses dunes de sable à perte de vue. Ce qu'elle apprécie beaucoup moins, en revanche, c'est l'arrogance du cheikh As'ad qui la traite comme une domestique. Aussi tombe-t-elle des nues lorsqu'il la demande en mariage. Et, le plus étonnant, c’est que Kayleen brûle d'envie d'accepter cette proposition !

About the author

Rita Bradshaw was born on 1949 in Northampton, England, where she was educated as a good Christian. She met Clive, her husband, at the age of 16 andnow the magic is still there. They have three lovely children, Cara, Faye, and Benjamin, and have always had a menagerie of animals in the house, which at the present is confined to two endearing and very comical dogs who would make a great double act on TV! The children, friends, and pets all keep the house buzzing and the food cupboards empty but Helen wouldn't have it any other way. She still lives today in Northampton with her family. Although having enjoyed some wonderful holidays abroad she has never been tempted to live anywhere else, although she rather likes the idea of a holiday home close to the sea one day.

Being a committed Christian and fervent animal lover she finds spare time is always at a premium, but long walks in the countryside with her husband and dogs, meals out followed by the cinema or theatre, reading, swimming, and having friends over for dinner are all fitted in somehow. She also enjoys sitting in her wonderfully therapeutic, rambling old garden in the sun with a glass of red wine, (under the guise of resting while thinking of course!)

For years, she was a secretary. She began writing in 1990 as she approached that milestone of a birthday 40! She realized her two teenage ambitions (writing a novel and learning to drive) had been lost amid babies and hectic family life, so set about resurrecting them.

Her first novel was for Mills and Boon and was accepted after one rewrite in 1992 as Helen Brooks, and she passed her driving test (the former was a joy and the latter an unmitigated nightmare!) She has written 50 novels as well as several sagas as Rita Bradshaw.

Since becoming a full-time writer she has found her occupation one of pure joy and often surprised when her characters develop a mind of their own but she loves exploring what makes people tick and finds the old adage "truth is stranger than fiction" to be absolutely true. She would love to hear from any readers care of Mills & Boon.
