INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:

In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.

Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East.

Ann Guthrie considered herself lucky to be nurse on the luxury liner, Shagreen. She hadn't counted on becoming involved with the passengers — personally, that is. Nor with the dashing young Third Officer, who wouldn't take no for an answer!

Vivian Stuart was a British writer and during her writing career she had more than 70 books published in Australia, USA and the UK.

Born in Berkshire in England, she spent most of her youth in Burma and India, and later lived in Hungary and Australia. At the age of thirty-five she began to write romantic fiction but soon devoted her attention to military and historical novels.
