Margaret Locke (Bücher)

Margaret Locke Bücher

Diese Autorin entdeckte die Magie von Liebesromanen bereits im zarten Alter von zehn Jahren und wechselte schnell von Kinderbüchern zur Erwachsenenliteratur. Der Reiz geistreicher Wortgefechte, der zeitlose Tanz zwischen Anziehung und Widerstand und die befriedigende Auflösung eines glücklichen Endes fesselten sie durch ihre Jugend und darüber hinaus. Erst in ihren Vierzigern erfüllte sie schließlich den jugendlichen Schwur, diese Geschichten selbst zu schreiben, anstatt sie nur zu lesen. Ihre Werke tauchen tief in die Komplexität von Beziehungen und die Kraft emotionaler Verbindungen ein.
