INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS: In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy. Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. Becky managed a riding school, and Jamie was an excellent vet and her best friend; "just Jamie", whom she had known all her life. Would he ever be anything more, or would she be won by the handsome stranger whom she had met so short a time ago?
