Monty - Leslie, Leigh

. .

Résumé :
Life is comfortable for Monty-until his past unexpectedly resurfaces, shattering fifteen years of suppressed guilt. A letter was all it took for his structured life to crumble. Charles Montgomery Chinthurst III is expected to take his place in the echelon of society that he was born into, but one indiscretion when he is at university sends him halfway across the world to Outback Australia where Teddy Delany exposes him to a world not constrained by the demands and expectations of his family. Just as he begins to embrace this newfound freedom, an unexpected tragedy pulls him back into the privileged world he was born into. That is, until Teddy reappears, upending the status quo once more. Now he has to decide where his heart really lies. Is he happier being a stuffed shirt, or embracing the freedom that he tasted long ago?...

Biographie:
Leigh lives in the South Island of New Zealand but still calls Australia home, even though she left when she was twelve. Educated in Australia, Africa, Europe and New Zealand she has seen a lot of the world. No matter where in the world Leigh was living, she has always been surrounded by books. As a child, when she was not being read to, she would be an avid listener to the tales that either her maternal grandmother or her father would weave. Leigh never considered writing until she was encouraged to attend a U3A Creative Writing course in the 1980s. She has been writing ever since. Now, after many years of traveling, teaching and working in a school library, among other careers, she is ready to share her writing with the public. Leigh writes under several names -Leigh Leslie, Nolan Mackenzie (Thriller, Mystery)...
