Celia was raised in a tropical land called Ceylon on
her father's plantation estate. After her parents death,
her Aunt Gertrude and her Uncle take her back to London.
Her Aunt being a very nasty woman, makes sure that Celia
knows there is no love lost between them. Aunt Gertrude
raises her on her own very strict rules, even too strict
for the Ton. On Ceylon, Celia had grown up with Ronald,
whom she was to marry when of age and her sinister Aunt
tries all different tricks to make sure she benefits from
Celia's future.
But luck comes to Celia from her Aunt Willie, her father's
sister. Willie takes Celia under her wing, and teaches her
how life truly will be for her, and that Celia can have a
happy life. Her Aunt Willie needs help in protecting and
guiding Celia, so she asks her step-son Grant Hamilton, who
of course is reluctant to help Willie, but once he sets his
sights on the beautiful Celia from Ceylon with her innocent
hot gypsy blood, he's willing and able to help. Grant
senses a kindred spirit in the stunning, copper-eyed beauty
and has no trouble escorting her through the Ton's social
gatherings. He tries to resist an intense passion that
flows between them for it can only lead to ecstasy or ruin.
There comes a time when Celia wants to go back to visit her
childhood home in Ceylon. She is very aware that her
childhood sweet heart awaits her, for they are destined to
marry, but Celia is very confused between Grant who
sets her soul afire and mixed feelings about Ronald, her
childhood friend whom she's to marry. I loved this read,
lot's of characters, gypsys who will protect Celia from
harm, and who also want revenge for her mother's death, so
many years ago.
So will Celia chose Grant who sends fire through her body
when they touch, or will she chose her childhood friend
Ronald? THE TEA PLANTER'S BRIDE is a must read with a lot
of secrets, action and love.
