AN EXCELLENT WIFE?

{"contributor_id":"101480","name":"Charlotte Lamb","first":"Charlotte","last":" Lamb","seo":"charlotte-lamb","role":"A01","hide":false,"reference_id":null,"bio":"

Sheila Holland, known by her millions of devoted readers as Charlotte Lamb, was born just before the Second World War in the East End of London. As a child, she was moved from relative to relative to escape the bombings of World War II.

On leaving school at sixteen, the convent-educated author worked for the Bank of England as a clerk. Charlotte continued her education by taking advantage of the B of E's enormous library during her lunch breaks and after work. She later worked as a secretary for the British Broadcasting Corporation. While there, she met and married Richard Holland, a political reporter.

A voracious reader of romance novels, she began writing at her husband's suggestion. She wrote her first book in three days—with three children underfoot! In between raising her five children (including a set of twins), Charlotte wrote several more novels. She used both her married and maiden names, among other pseudonyms, before her first novel as Charlotte Lamb, Follow a Stranger, was published by Harlequin Mills & Boon in 1973.

Charlotte was a true revolutionary in the field of romance writing. One of the first writers to explore the boundaries of sexual desire, her novels often reflected the forefront of the \"sexual revolution\" of the 1970s. Her books touched on then-taboo subjects such as child abuse and rape, and she created sexually confident—even dominant—heroines. She was also one of the first to create a modern romantic heroine: independent, imperfect, and perfectly capable of initiating a sexual or romantic relationship.

A prolific author, Charlotte penned more than 160 novels, most of them for Mills & Boon. Known for her swiftness as well as for her skill in writing, Charlotte typically wrote a minimum of two thousand words per day, working from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. While she once finished a full-length novel in four days, she herself pegged her average speed at two weeks to complete a full novel.

Charlotte Lamb passed away in October 2000 at the age of sixty-two. She is greatly missed by her many fans, and by the romance writing community.

Was the grass really greener for Ambrose Kerr?

\"I've never told a living soul any of that before .\"

Emilie stared up at Ambrose, as what he had told her reverberated in her mind. She hadn't really taken it all in where on earth could he have come from to have lived like that ?

He ran his hand through his thick black hair in an angry gesture. \"God knows why I blurted it out to you. I wonder if you realize I've given you a weapon that could destroy me .\"

Wanted: a wife of convenience

James had never been in love. He intended to marry a woman who didn't make demands, or who would change his life . So why did he find Patience Kirby so attractive?

She certainly wasn't his idea of marriage material! For one thing, she was a sparky redhead, while he'd always preferred cool blondes. For another, he was used to a peaceful, elegant life–style, and Patience's home was full of kids, old people and animals; noise, warmth and caring .

But in order to have her in his bed, did James have to make Patience his wife?

Dark Fever

Bianca was enjoying her first holiday since the death of her beloved husband three years ago…until she met Gil Marquez, the owner of the hotel where she was staying.

Gil opened up such intense feelings of desire in Bianca, which she hadn't known she possessed. How could she want this man with such dark intensity, yet be certain that she was falling in love...?

Angry Desire

This was supposed to be the happiest day of Gabriella's life – her wedding day. But last night the fear had finally begun to tear her apart and she knew she couldn't go through with the ceremony.

She could walk out, vanish. But Stephen would search for her until he found her. And then she would have to face the truth: that she was frightened to make love with her husband–to–be!

The Seduction Business

Bianca Milne looks the part of the ambitious female executive, with her sleek, touch–me–not looks and her cool, controlled manner. But there's another Bianca underneath she never lets the business world see. Until she's assigned to buy out Matt Hearne's company.

Matt has heard rumours about Bianca – so how far will she go to clinch this deal? When he's called home to look after his little daughter, Bianca impulsively offers him her help, not anticipating that the enforced proximity will only ignite the smouldering physical attraction between them...

Date with an angel

Luisa was drawn to Zachary West. It was more than a nurse’s compassion for her patient that moved her, it was the man himself: temperamental, courageous and so very desirable. WHen she discovered it was her father’s car that had cause Zachary’s accident, she was drawn even further into his life.

For Zachary, healing — both physically and emotionally — would take time. And Luisa wanted to be there with him. But did he want her? She was fighting a rival she could neither see nor understand, a woman who haunted Zachary’s dreams. A woman he could not forget…

Dangerous in the dark.

Comfortable was the way Laura described how she felt about her engagement to Patrick. After all, with a thriving career in public relations and two children, the kind of breathless passion she craved was simply impractical.

Until Josh Kern’s powerful kiss shattered her composure and planted doubts she didn’t want or need. Not that her attraction to Josh made any sense — he was domineering, arrogant, much too sure of himself. But could any of those things, including the wildness of her own response to him, really prevent her from falling in love?

Sancha’s first instinct was to burn the anonymous letter. Its malicious message couldn’t be true: Do you know where your husband will be tonight? Do you know who he’ll be with?

You remember, last night? At the party? When you proposed to me?

‘Proposed…’ Sam hoarsely repeated, going pale.
Natalie gave him a dewy look. ‘Yes. You went down on your knees, in front of them all.’
‘On my…’ he breathed, with incredulity and horror.
‘Knees.’ She nodded. ‘And asked me to marry you. You put your signet ring on my finger and said it would do until we could get to a jeweller’s to choose a real engagement ring, a sapphire to match my eyes. You remember, don’t you, Sam?’

Wanted: a wife of convenience

James had never been in love. He intended to marry a woman who didn’t make demands, or who would change his life. So why did he find Patience Kirby so attractive? She certainly wasn’t his idea of marriage material! For one thing, she was a sparky redhead, while he’d always preferred cool blondes. For another, he was used to a peaceful, elegant life-style, and Patience’s home was full of kids, old people and animals; noise, warmth and caring. But in order to have her in his bed, did James have to make Patience his wife?
