Don’t miss this sweeping historical epic, perfect for fans of Gill Paul and Dinah Jeffries. Outback Australia, 1981 After a terrible childhood, Jane comes to Thornfield as nanny to the adorable Adele, watched over by the handsome and enigmatic Edward. Plain and inexperienced, Jane would never dream of being more than his hired help. But swept up in the dramatic beauty of the Outback, she finds herself drawn to Edward. And, to her surprise, he seems to return her feelings. But Jane is not the first woman Edward has pledged to make mistress of Thornfield. As a child, Betty was taken from her English home and sent for adoption in Australia. At first, no-one wanted her, deeming her hair too curly, and her skin too dark.
