True Enchanter / Fortune's Mistress

by Susan Napier

True Enchanter

A nice, sensible maiden aunt with a schoolmarm air... Being press ganged into chaperoning her seventeen-year-old niece wasn't Joanna's idea of a holiday, and she was even more outraged to discover Richard Marlow's mistaken ideas about her.

Since he'd chosen Becky to star in his new film, Joanna didn't really have much choice, and past experience of actors made her determined not to be misled by the superficial emotions they could generate.

Fortune's Mistress

To the outside world, Maggie and Finn's marriage seemed very modern, thoroughly open. Maggie the free wheeling socialite, dispensing her favours indiscriminately and Finn indulging his playboy tendencies. But then Finn fell genuinely in love with Laurie Fortune, daughter of financier and jeweller Nicholas Fortune and the house of cards Maggie's scheming had wrought fell about her ears. Nick thought Laurie wanted to be friends with Maggie, and was set on wresting her away from this 'scarlet woman' and Maggie was horrified to realise that her headlong response to Nick was returned in full measure!

About the author

Perhaps being born on Valentine’s Day was an omen that Susan Napier would become a romance writer. This New Zealand author has written over 30 Mills & Boon category romances since 1984. Napier and her husband Tony Potter met when they both worked at the Auckland Star newspaper. After they married, she left the newspaper to work for a film company where she learned the art of dialogue. After the birth of her sons, Simon and Ben, she was a freelance scriptwriter for documentaries. It was soon after that she decided to try her hand at writing the romance fiction she dearly loved.

She and her husband still live in the home they bought in Auckland shortly after their marriage.
