Moments later a baby girl is born. But by dawn, the mother has vanished, leaving behind the helpless child wrapped only in a silk peacock shawl. When news spreads that Lady Eliza Hartley, sister to wealthy estate owner, John Hartley, has been found dead, Annabelle realises the terrible secret she has stumbled on. Terrified she’ll be blamed for Eliza’s death, Annabelle flees to the filthy slums of York, where she plans to raise the precious orphan as her own. The cobbled streets of York’s slums are no place for a young woman like Annabelle or a Hartley babe and John Hartley is determined to bring them both home. But Annabelle proves impossible to find. Annabelle can’t hide forever from the wealthy Hartley family, but can she ever give up the baby she loves?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlucky in love, Dr Alexander French, a gruff but likeable surgeon travels to Suffolk to start a new life. There, in a small country village, he meets the rich and impulsive Jardine Savage newly arrived from Jamaica and the new owner of Ramillies, the elegant but now dilapidated ancestral home of the Raynor family. Nearby lives Lizzie Raynor a feisty and brilliant artist who at one stroke lost her father, home and lover and is now forced to be one of Jardine’s tenants. Neither she nor the neighbourhood takes kindly to Ramillies new and exotic occupants. ‘This has been an unlucky house since my father died,’ she said quietly to herself, ‘or before that, since … since he killed the peacock. They all said it would bring bad luck. I used to tell myself it was all the fault of the peacock; it was a kind of comfort. But now this: perhaps the house is cursed after all.’ ‘A delightful book’ The Times ‘A delightful novel, full of humour and poignancy and rich in period detail’ Douglas Reeman, Novelist Winner Boots Romantic Novel of the Year Award

Download or read book Essential Angler written by David Forster and published by Wordsworth Editions. This book was released on 2006 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'To be a moderately successful wielder of the rod may be looked upon as a very desirable accomplishment, nay, more, a laudable ambition; but, beyond mere skill in casting a fly and killing and landing a fish, a little rudimentary knowledge of the truly scientific and, consequently, most attractive part of the art is essential in order to attain proficiency.' 'Rodsters' everywhere will welcome the reappearance of David Forster's classic work on the art and science of fishing, with its wealth of detailed piscatorial knowledge and its exhaustive information and guidance in practical matters, from how to make one's own tackle and flies to how and when to catch which fish where. Writing in 1885, Forster tells us that, while the 'angler's skill has advanced wondrously' since the time of Izaak Walton, 'keenness of perception and wariness have developed among the denizens of the liquid element in a degree quite proportionate'. However, armed with this volume, as readable and relevant today as any contemporary manual, 'let there be clear water, clear weather and clear scope for observation' and any enthusiast may pit his or her 'superior intelligence against the animal instincts of the brute creation'.
Download or read book His Conquering Sword written by Kate Elliott and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the events of An Earthly Crown, the jaran conquest of Rhui intensifies as rebel hearts simmer with conflicting loyalties Across Rhui, the jaran have been taking over towns and bending all non-jaran to the law of their rule. With Ilya Bakhtiian in charge, the nomadic fighters are now preparing an assault on the royal city of Karkand. But within the campaign, another struggle looms. Ilya’s wife, Tess, is not from Rhui, but from Earth, and her brother, Charles, is a duke of the empire that includes Rhui, even though he once instigated a rebellion against it. Still driven by thoughts of a human revolt, Charles travels to Rhui for key information about the past, hoping to bring back his sister—his only heir. Does she want to passively abide by either man’s plan for her, though, and is any challenge to the ancient and mighty Chapalii realistic? His Conquering Sword is the third volume of the Novels of the Jaran, which begin with Jaran and An Earthly Crown and conclude with The Law of Becoming.
