Produktbeschreibung

Karly Lane's page-turning, absolutely delightful 25th rural romance from this bestselling author with over 600,000 books sold. Lottie Fairchild has two loves: history and, well, history. She's fascinated by the legends of love and curses handed down through her family. Owner of a little antique shop in small country town Banalla, Lottie is on the committee that is about to launch a new festival celebrating local history, including gentleman bushranger Jack McNally. Altogether, Lottie feels happy. Mostly. But when festival guest speaker Professor Damian Loxley roars into town a week early, Lottie is caught off guard. As a professor of history and an author, Damian arrives keen to research Jack McNally and a historic cold case: the mysterious disappearance of a colonial lady - in essence the search for a needle in a haystack. Then he meets Lottie Fairchild . . . the perfect local guide. Little do they realize what danger can come with treasures and truths. But least of all do they know that the hardest jewel to grasp is happiness itself . . . > 'Perfect to read on a plane, train or beach-side holiday.' - Reading Writing and Reisling on The One That Got Away 'I absolutely couldn't put The One That Got Away down ...' - Ms. G's Bookshelf '... a compelling, fast-paced and engaging read with heart and substance.' - Better Reading 'If you are looking for a good holiday read, then definitely choose For Once In My Life.' - Blue Wolf Reviews 'A seriously wonderful book ... perfect if you are looking for something to make you smile and touch your heart.' - Beauty and Lace 'A country reading delight, Wish You Were Here is the perfect book to enjoy this summer season.
