Essie Summers fue una autora neozelandesa cuyas vívidas representaciones de la gente y el paisaje de su país natal fueron tan aclamadas que se le ofreció la Orden del Imperio Británico por sus contribuciones al turismo neozelandés. Su obra se nutre de una rica tradición narrativa y una fascinación por las vidas de los pioneros, inspirada por cuentos infantiles y la influencia de sus padres. Tras sus primeras experiencias trabajando en tiendas de telas, canalizó estas perspectivas en las novelas románticas por las que se hizo famosa. Como esposa de un ministro y madre de dos hijos, siempre encontró oportunidades para escribir cuentos, poemas y columnas de periódico.






Marty made a thoughtless little joke about going to New Zealand tolook for a susceptible bachelor with a seven-thousand-a-year wool clip, and unfortunately Philip Griffiths overheard and took her seriously. So when she found that she was to settle in his part of the country, she had to work very hard to show him that she wasnot specially interested in men and least of all in him.
Janet's relationship to the ten-year-old orphaned triplets was complicated - she was the daughter of her father's first wife, and they were the children of his second wife - but the tie of affection was very strong. When their grandfather in New Zealand decided to bring the children to live on his farm and sent his nephew Morgan Mackay to fetch them, Janet made up her mind to go too. However, through a series of misunderstandings, Janet convinced Morgan that she bore no relation to the youngsters, and he was less than pleased to discover her deception. He agreed not to send her away immediately if she would agree to a 'pretence' engagement to him to further some scheme of his own. What had Janet gotten herself into now?
