Oil heiress Carlotta Burr had the money and freedom to do whatever she liked. That included jetting to the Caribbean and Europe, where she met and quickly married horse-show champion Kurt Maiden.
The discovery that Kurt was a fortune hunter jolted her. His death was a further shock, as was the news that her father had hired a bodyguard to protect her from kidnappers.
Carlotta had never before met a man like Brad, her bodyguard. Not only did he despise her money and her spoiled, impulsive ways, he made it clear that their mutual attraction would never grow into anything else.
Flora Mildred Cartwright was born on 1926 in Liverpool, England, UK. The youngest of four children, Flora and her family lived in the same house until she was a teen. In 1949, she graduated from Liverpool University, where she met Robert Kidd, her husband. They moved to her beloved Scotland, where she began teaching, writing, and raised their four children: Richard, Patricia, Peter and David.
Flora Kidd published her first novel, Visit To Rowanbank, in 1966 at Mills & Boon. In 1977, the family moved to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, where she continued her romance career with Mills & Boon until 1989, when she retired. In 1994, she published the first of the The Marco Polo Project novels, to support a project to build a replica of the 19th century ship Marco Polo.
Flora Kidd passed away on March 19, 2008 at Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.
This cover deserves a trophy. 🏆 Seriously, y’all—just pause to admire that glorious piece of ‘80s. Embrace the Miami Vice! Hear those drums & picture that flock of flamingos in the opening credits! 🦩🦩🦩
- Nej, du är inte som de andra. Du är rik, arvtagerska till miljontals dollar. Det skiljer dig från dem.
Dotter till förmögen man möter inte lika förmögen man och en omöjlig kärlekshistoria följer. Att kalla historien förutsägbar vore en underdrift. Boken är knappast ett litterärt storverk och kan på sin höjd erbjuda ett par timmars nöjesläsning utan några djupare insikter. Men kärlek är ju ändå kärlek och det är väl alltid intressant? Nja. Nej. Eller snarare - det finns så mycket bättre litteratur att lägga sin tid på. Därför blir detta förmodligen den sista boken jag läser i denna genre.
