Pericolo nella notte
Inghilterra, 1816 - In una notte buia e tempestosa, l'affascinante Lord James Aldhurst trova una donna svenuta sul viale che porta alla residenza di campagna della sua famiglia. La giovane ha ferite alla testa e ai polsi, indossa abiti semplici ma biancheria finissima, e al suo risveglio non ricorda né il proprio nome né da dove proviene. Un mistero che si fa più intricato con il passare dei giorni, perché è chiaro che Anne, come il gentiluomo chiama la fanciulla che gli ha irrimediabilmente rapito il cuore, è in pericolo. Qualcuno la sta inseguendo, e sembra che voglia separarli per sempre.

About the author
Sylvia Andrew
85 books21 followersSylvia is a great reader, whose preference in fiction is for thrillers and historical romances. She married Simon Andrew, the boy next door, and they have one daughter, Catherine, who is married and works in London. Catherine lives in Maidenhead quite near the river, and they have a small house in Normandy, which they visit whenever they can. They are great travelers — from a shopping weekend in Paris to a three week tour of Vietnam on a bicycle!
They both took early retirement and now live in the West Country with their dog and cat. Simon is an active town councillor in Crewkerne, and very well-known there. Until Sylvia retired she was busy to write, Teaching full-time as vice principal of a large comprehensive sixth form college, while also running a house and a family didn't really give her much time. She never attempted to have anything published before she sent in her first historical romance to Mills & Boon, in the days when the series was called "Masquerade." She was somewhat flabbergasted — though absolutely delighted — when it was accepted. Perdita first appeared in 1991, and she is still surprised at the idea of herself as a writer.

A rollicking good read
Miss Calverley is found by Lord Aldhurst, unconscious, as he rides to his absent Grandmothers house. She doesn't know who she is or what she is doing there, but the rope marks on her wrists and her nightmares suggest she only just escaped with her life. Aldhurst is determined that she is allowed to stay and recover despite his grandmother's housekeepers dissaproval. As 'Ann' recovers, she discovers she can play chess like a master and the piano with ease, but before her memory fully returns, she leaves, to prevent James, Lord Aldhurst, from making a ruinous commitment to her. A story with both suspense and surprise and a lovely way to spend an afternoon and evening of downtime.
