By Anne Mather who remains one of the best loved Mills and Boon authors this exciting vintage romance was first published by Mills and Boon in the 1970's.

Suprisingly scarce in this attractive hardback format, old Mills and Boon books like this from the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's are great to collect.

These classic vintage Mills and Boon books are often set in idyllic locations and this one does not fail to live up to that reputation. Set in the beautiful regions of Sicily our heroine of the story Stephanie McMasters finds herself in an awkward marriage that she has made in the hopes of saving her father from disaster. A brooding Sicilian man, a setting of a castle in Sicily and a woman going to be a companion to a young girl who has lost her mother.

A more modern take on the gothic novel and Charlotte Brontë's classic Jane Eyre, with a few more modern twists here and there but certainly an enjoyable romp and pure escapist fantasy.

If you love this genre of vintage Romance books Mills and Boon certainly knew how to hit the spot.

The lovely pink cover and 1970's artwork on the dust jacket look great in a mid-century modern interior and make this an attractive vintage book to add to any collection of nostalgic romance on your bookshelf.

Kittys Reader Notes & Book Excerpt

"The Autumn of The Witch | Anne Mather

Stephanie McMaster thought the world of her father, and would have done almost anything to make him happy - but she never imagined that her loyalty to him would be stretched as it was being now. For her father was facing ruin, and the only way Stephanie could save him was to accede to Santiono Venturo's request that she should marry him and go to live with him in his castle in Sicily.

Santino made it clear from the start that it was not a real wife that he wanted but a companion for his little motherless daughter ; the marriage would be in name only, just for the sake of propriety. In any case, it was clear that Santino was still devoted to the memory of his dead wife Sanchia. So why had he wanted to marry Stephanie at all ? And where did her feelings come into it ? "
