Book Description
Tamarisk, daughter of the beautiful Mavreen and a French Vicomte has inherited her mother's exquisite beauty and her passionate, impulsive nature. But the two women are rivals. Tamarisk is irresistibly drawn to her mother's former lover, Sir Peregrine Waite. But he only sees her as a child and does not yield to her loving advances. Burning with fury and humiliation at his rejection, Tamarisk becomes involved with a notorious philanderer and finds herself plunged into disgrace and degradation. And despite the dangerous secret she had discovered, her love for Sir Peregrine remains. Set against a stunning background of the wealthy and privileged in Europe, this is a scorching, tempestuous sequel to Mavreen. AUTHBIO: Claire Lorrimer began writing at the age of ten, encouraged by her mother who was also an author. Her post on the editorial team of a woman's magazine gave her a unique insight into the world of publishing, but it was during the Second World War that her writing career became established. She produced romantic short stories and serials for Woman's Illustrated and later penned some sixty light romantic novels. Although her first love was children's books, she could not find a publisher for her work and turned to historical fiction. These historical novels are characterised by meticulous detail and feeling for the period, often highlighting the situation of women. Claire Lorrimer lives in rural Kent, and still writes stories and plays for her friends and grandchildren.
