But when he writes from Australia to summon his bride, his relatives realize he is now a man to be reckoned with. Arriving in Sydney after a difficult voyage, sixteen-year-old Elizabeth Drummond meets her husband-to-be and discovers that he frightens and repels her. Isolated in Alexander's great house, Elizabeth finds that marriage does not prompt her husband to enlighten her about his past life - nor his present one, in which his mistress, the sensuous, tough, outspoken Ruby Costevan, still plays a part... Will she be able to forge a happy new life in this new world?","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53370608779606,"sku":"9780099280996-V","price":2.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53552461087062,"sku":"9780099280996-G","price":3.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780099280996_1.jpg?v=1778095789","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/colleen-mccullough-the-touch-9780099280996","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
