Essie Summers Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
Essie Summers was een Nieuw-Zeelandse auteur wier levendige portretten van de bevolking en het landschap van haar geboorteland zo werden geprezen dat haar de Orde van het Britse Rijk werd aangeboden voor haar bijdragen aan het Nieuw-Zeelandse toerisme. Haar werk put uit een rijke verteltraditie en een fascinatie voor het leven van pioniers, geïnspireerd door verhalen uit haar jeugd en de invloed van haar ouders. Na eerdere ervaringen in fourniturenwinkels, kanaliseerde ze deze inzichten in de romantische romans waarvoor ze beroemd werd. Als echtgenote van een predikant en moeder van twee kinderen vond ze altijd gelegenheid om korte verhalen, poëzie en krantencolumns te schrijven.

Marty made a thoughtless little joke about going to New Zealand tolook for a susceptible bachelor with a seven-thousand-a-year wool clip, and unfortunately Philip Griffiths overheard and took her seriously. So when she found that she was to settle in his part of the country, she had to work very hard to show him that she wasnot specially interested in men and least of all in him.
Janet's relationship to the ten-year-old orphaned triplets was complicated - she was the daughter of her father's first wife, and they were the children of his second wife - but the tie of affection was very strong. When their grandfather in New Zealand decided to bring the children to live on his farm and sent his nephew Morgan Mackay to fetch them, Janet made up her mind to go too. However, through a series of misunderstandings, Janet convinced Morgan that she bore no relation to the youngsters, and he was less than pleased to discover her deception. He agreed not to send her away immediately if she would agree to a 'pretence' engagement to him to further some scheme of his own. What had Janet gotten herself into now?
