Produktbeschreibung

Sugar heiress Leilani Manolo faces an impossible choice between love and duty. With time running out, will a shocking revelation be her salvation or her downfall?

In 1870s Hawaii, royal favourite Lani Manolo is caught between the desires of her heart and the demands of her powerful family. Deeply in love with French vintner Aristide Laurent, she feels duty bound to secure her family's future by marrying a man she does not love, a wealthy nobleman favored by the king.

Risking his fragile place in high society, Aristide refuses to let Lani go without a fight. He delves into the nobleman's past, only to uncover a scandalous secret that could change everything. But his revelation comes at a high price.
The explosive secret about Lani's would-be husband carries a truth that could tear the lovers apart forever or finally set them free.

From glittering palace ballrooms to the wind-swept beaches of Maui, will Leilani listen to her head, or her heart? Will she bow to family wishes, or find the strength to defy convention?

A tale of love, deception and the courage to forge your own path, Captive Heart, Book 8 in the Of Gold & Blood series, will sweep you away in the beauty and turmoil of 19th century Hawaii. An unforgettable story in the grand tradition of Victoria Holt and Kathleen Woodiwiss.

Autorenporträt

Jenny Wheeler is convinced there is no better time than now to be a woman, but if she was faced with making a second choice it would be 1860's California the setting for her historical mystery series Of Gold & Blood.

Nearly twenty years after the 1849 Gold Rush brought thousands upon thousands of (mainly) men into California on the greatest adventure of their lives, the energy, the thirst for excitement remained, but the rough frontier had become a maritime colony; "urban, cosmopolitan, and resembling nothing else in the Far West," (Kevin Starr, Americans and the California Dream, 1850 1915. Oxford University Press.) A place where women had the chance to pursue their dreams with more freedom than (arguably) anywhere else in the civilized world.

Jenny loves the stories that came to be spun from the region that was "the cutting edge of the American dream," (Kevin Starr again) and she's busily creating those stories with as much passion as those '49ers chased after gold nuggets!
