More About the Author

Reading is, and always has been, the first love of my life. Except writing.
Success came early -- I was twelve when I won an Easter egg in a hymn writing competition at school - but life intervened with my plans to become a hot shot author. The day job. Not that this was dull. I travelled to Zambia at the age of twenty where I worked as a secretary, before following my personal hero to the Middle East, Kenya, Botswana and ambition became buried in the joyful business of raising a family.

I never forgot that I was a "writer", however. I wrote children's stories for Listen With Mother. Magazines articles. Ghost stories. I was at a point where I wanted to move onto something bigger when I read a magazine piece about Charlotte Lamb and Anne Hampson and discovered, rather late in life, romantic fiction. I read everything I could lay my hands on, then, feeling certain I had a grasp of the genre, began writing. I had three rejections - I still have those letters! -- but my fourth submission became An Image of You and was published in 1992.

Since then seven of my books have been shortlisted for RWA's RITA award - two of them, THE BEST MAN & THE BRIDESMAID and THE MARRIAGE MIRACLE winning in 2001 and 2006, respectively. A FAMILY OF HIS OWN always won the RNA's Romance Prize in 2005.

My best-beloved and I are empty-nesters these days, living out in the country where excitement means a visit from the mobile shop, the travelling library, the fish man. But I'm a writer, I invent my own worlds. Once the door to the my cabin in the woods is closed I can be anywhere my imagination takes me; the desert kingdom of Ramal Hamrah, the villages of Upper Haughton, Little Hinton and Longbourne where romance is always just around the corner, or I can jet off to New York, the Mediterranean, even the Himalayas. Come and see where I'm headed next - http://www.lizfielding.com

For the past thirty years, the store has been under the control of Peter Claibourne and on his retirement, his three daughters want to take over his role, with the eldest daughter at the helm. But the Farraday men won't hear of it. After all the control is always passed on to the eldest male. Now the women need to prove to the men that they can run the company better.

Romana had seen photo's of Niall, but in person this investment banker is dangerously attractive. Niall isn't sure how to take Romana.

Flora is passionate about archaeology and finding lost art. She uses her trips to places little known as inspiration for new jewelry and fabric lines for the store. It's Bram's month to shadow a Claibourne sister, and is surprised that his task will take him to a tropical island on the quest to see the treasures of the lost princess.

The Tycoon's Takeover by Liz Fielding
Harlequin Romance # 3708 - July 2002

India is the eldest sister and the woman at the helm of the department store. Jordan wants revenge on the Claibourne. Years ago, India's father stole the control of the store from his mother and now he's going to win it back.

Though written as a trilogy, each story can stand on it's own. However, I recommend reading them all. They are all very good reads. Each Claibourne woman has found their match in a Farraday man. I found it great fun to see these tough guys succumb to the charms of their enemies.
