Requirements: ePUB, MOBI, PDF Readers, 7.50 MB
Overview: Frances Burke is an Australian writer of historical novels set in varying countries and periods, usually with a background of war or civil upheaval, and from the viewpoint of a woman challenging the accepted mores of the time. The books are fast moving and historically accurate.
Researching on the spot in many different countries is an excellent excuse for an author to travel and delve into past events. That’s part of the fun of writing historicals. And they are all romances in the true sense, i.e. tales of adventure, misadventure and love in all its guises.
Genre: Historical Romance
Endless Time: Can a great love survive to transcend time?
It is 1806, and in her home, Ashbourne Manor, a woman opens a letter warning her of the terrible fate awaiting her and her unborn child. By nightfall both are dead in the rubble of a burnt out tower.
In present day London, talented artist Karen Courtney is overwhelmed by a feeling of familiarity with the man portrayed in a Georgian miniature. Driven to know more, her search leads her to Ashbourne Manor, to the tower, where an accident thrusts her spirit back in time and into the body of another woman – the beautiful and scandalous Regency socialite, Lady Caroline.
Appalled by the transition and grieving for her child left behind, Karen finds she must adapt to a past era, although constantly seeking a way back to her own time. Her ‘husband’s’ angry disillusionment with the woman he believes to be Caroline is fed by Karen’s incredible story. And someone is trying to kill her.
Enchantress: Peregrine Woodward, a relative attached to Anne Boleyn’s entourage at King Henry VIII’s Court, is thrown into violent conflict with the powerful and ambitious men and women of the times. Passion and intrigue are everyday currency, along with ever-present danger.
Her healing and prophetic gifts are remarkable, but confronting. They are coveted by the fascinating alchemist, Doctor Cosmo Meniscus, who almost destroys her in his attempt to control her destiny, while the man she loves, Richard de Burgh, abhors her practice of the forbidden arts. Struggling to maintain her independence, Peregrine employs her gifts in the service of others, particularly Anne, whose destructive course will bring them both within the shadow of the scaffold.
Peregrine cannot foretell her own, extraordinary future, but she does know that a terrible day of reckoning will come.
A Hazard of Hearts: From the bustling energy of Sydney Town to the brawling goldfields of Victoria comes a compelling saga of three passionate women who pit themselves against society’s restrictions to carve their place in history.
Elly Ballard, spirited and intelligent daughter of an eminent surgeon, rallies from violent betrayal to take on an outdated, vermin-infested hospital and its officious and self-serving board of directors.
She is aided by the diminutive and fiery Pearl, who has escaped slavery and the horrors of war-torn Nanking, and by Jo-Beth Loring, a spoiled beauty who has lost everything, including the man she loves, in a shipwreck off the Australian coast.
Denying her own need for love and her strong attraction to Paul Gascoigne, a man haunted by his past and ambitious for the future, Elly fights to establish nursing as an honourable profession, and a woman’s right to be considered an intelligent force in society.
