Secret Woman

By Victoria Holt

Book Overview

"One of the best romantic-suspense novelists."--Associated Press

The ship and her captain were supposed to be her salvation, but they both may end up leaving her in deep water

Anna Brett fears she's doomed to be a governess to an English family for the rest of her life. But when the dashing captain Redvers Stretton struts back into her life, she is whisked away from the bleak English countryside forever. But is that such a good thing?

While the charming blue-eyed captain makes Anna forget her troubled past, he is hiding dark secrets of his own. It's no coincidence that Stretton's ship is named The Secret Woman. During their voyage to the South Seas, with a murder dogging her steps and the mystery of a missing treasure haunting her dreams, Anna is forced to confront the clever captain--a man who may have just as many secrets as she.

A Victoria Holt Usual Surprise Finale

This is a very interesting story and, as usual with V.H. books, full of unexpected twists and turns. I was able to read the ending with pleasure, unlike a different book in which the hero was killed at the end. In this book, however, all finally ends well. I'm reading it again.

It's so intreaging you can't put it down!!

I read The Secret Woman my junior year in HS, and would get in trouble in class, becase I couldn't put the book down. The romantic story will trap you into believing that you are really there and part of the story. You will go on a wild trip with a young woman who falls in love with a man that is royalty. I really recommend reading this book whether for a school report or just for pleasure. I guarentee you'll fall into the story, and never want to put it down!! Victoria Holt is a wonderful autor and all her stories will trap you into believing you are there. PLEASE read this book!!!!
