About this book

SHE WAS AS COLD AS ICE... . Or was she? Entrepreneur Mark Harding found Jacinth Norwood an absolute enigma. How could any woman seem so cool, yet awaken such passion in him? He knew that when she was in his embrace she was far from indifferent, but she refused to let down her guard and admit her true feelings. They spent whole days working together in his small office, but he was no closer to understanding her now than when he'd first hired her. And the longer their relationship went on, the more frustrating he found the situation. Jacinth might be able to feign an indifference he was quite sure she no longer felt, but his own passion was quickly exceeding the limits of his control.

Nowadays she earns her living from writing, something her well-meaning teachers and guidance counsellors warned her she would never achieve in New Zealand. Her short stories have appeared in many magazines and anthologies, and a collection of them was presented in Crossing the Bar, published by David Ling, where they garnered wide praise. In 1976, Daphne's first full-length romantic novel was published by Mills & Boon as Return to Love. Since then she has produced a steady output of romance set in New Zealand, occasionally Australia or on imaginary Pacific islands. As Laurey Bright she also writes for Silhouette Books. Her romances often appear on American stores' romance best-seller lists and she has been a Rita contest finalist, as well as winning and being placed in several other romance writing contests. Her other writing includes non-fiction, poetry and long historical fiction, She also is an active defender of the ideology of Feminists for Life, and she has written articles about it. Since then she has won other literary prizes both in her native New Zealand and other countries.
