![]() |
Annie West spent her childhood with her nose between the covers of a book — a habit she retains. After years preparing government reports and official correspondence she decided to write something she really enjoys. And there's nothing she loves more than a great romance. Despite her office-bound past, she has managed a few interesting moments — including a marriage offer with the promise of a herd of camels to sweeten the contract. She is happily married to her ever-patient husband (who has never owned a dromedary). They live with their two children amongst the tall eucalypts at beautiful Lake Macquarie, on Australia's east coast.

How far will a woman go to save her family’s future? Marina Lucchesi must choose between preserving her dignity and securing her father’s legacy by the only means possible: masquerading as a rich man’s mistress.
Ronan Carlisle is a man with a mission: to put an end to the sick games played by a rival tycoon. Ronan’s own sister was his victim and Ronan is determined that no more innocents will be hurt the way she was. In Marina he finds the perfect decoy to ensure his strategy’s success and he makes her an outrageous proposition.
But soon he realises he wants far more. Can he persuade her to become more than a mistress in name only? Will she trust him, and herself, enough to believe in love?
West's debut release is a passionate romance that resonates with a lot of the characteristics die-hard fans of Presents love to find within these stories. Multi-faceted characters and a traditional plot layered with strong drama will keep those pages turning quickly. What I really liked was that the author took a tried and true theme and really made it her own with unpredictability. Well done.
A MISTRESS FOR THE TAKING marks Annie West as a glowing and talented author who shows a lot of promise. I'm looking forward to her next book eagerly.
