Juliet Archer

Ihr Werk bietet eine zeitgemäße Interpretation zeitloser romantischer Erzählungen und spricht moderne Leser mit Witz und Charme an. Archers unverwechselbarer Ansatz liegt in ihrer Fähigkeit, Epochen zu verbinden und menschliche Beziehungen mit einer frischen, aber dennoch vertrauten Stimme zu erforschen. Sie ist eine bemerkenswerte Stimme in der zeitgenössischen Romanze, gefeiert für ihr fesselndes Storytelling und ihre einfühlsamen Darstellungen von Liebe und Verbundenheit.

      The second in Juliet Archer's Darcy and Friends series. When do you let your heart rule your head? As far as men are concerned, Anna Elliot is stuck in the past. No one can compare to Rick Wentworth, the man she was persuaded to give up eight years ago. Meanwhile, Rick's moved on - and up. He's got a successful career and a carefully controlled love life where his heart doesn't get a look in. The words 'forgive and forget' aren't in Rick's vocabulary. The word 'regret' is definitely in Anna's. When they meet again, can she persuade him that their lost love is worth a second chance? AUTHOR: Juliet is a 19th-century mind living in a 21st-century body. Actually, some days it's the other way round. By day, she masquerades as wife, mother and businesswoman. By night, with a glass of wine and a box of chocolates to hand, she becomes An Author. Juliet's Darcy and Friends series are modern day versions of Jane Austen. Her debut novel, the Importance of Being Emma won the Big Red Reads Fiction Award in 2011 and was short-listed for the Melissa Nathan Award for Comedy Romance 2009. Her second novel, Persuade Me was short-listed for the Festival of Romance Award for Best Romantic Read 2011.

      Mark Knightley – handsome, clever, rich – is used to women falling at his feet. Except Emma Woodhouse, who’s like part of the family – and the furniture. When their relationship changes dramatically, is it an ending or a new beginning? Emma’s grown into a stunningly attractive young woman, full of ideas for modernizing her family business. Then Mark gets involved and the sparks begin to fly. It’s just like the old days, except that now he’s seeing her through entirely new eyes.While Mark struggles to keep his feelings in check, Emma remains immune to the Knightley charm. She’s never forgotten that embarrassing moment when he discovered her teenage crush on him. He’s still pouring scorn on all her projects, especially her beautifully orchestrated campaign to find Mr. Right for her ditzy PA. And finally, when the mysterious Flynn Churchill – the man of her dreams – turns up, how could she have eyes for anyone else? With its clueless heroine and entertaining plot, this modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma stays true to the original, while giving fresh insights into the mind of its thoroughly updated and irresistible hero.
