Produktbeschreibung
Sailing home to England with her two younger brothers, the intrepid Miss Zara Greeley plucks a half-drowned stranger from icy seas. The handsome man says he's a duke-a claim Zara is tempted to believe, for only a duke could be so impossibly arrogant, especially when their ship runs aground on a Scottish island during the storm, and they are forced to do manual labor in a brewer to earn their passage to the mainland. Prestwick wants nothing more than to part ways with the sharp-tongued young lady and resume his life of genteel leisure. But Fate quickly plunges the pair into another encounter. Zara and her brothers have come to reclaim their inheritance from an unscrupulous cousin...and suddenly the duke finds himself caught up in the dispute-along with conflicting currents of duty and desire...and what really matters in Life.
Autorenporträt
I started creating books at the age of five, or so my mother tells me. And she has the proof-a neatly penciled story, the pages lavishly illustrated with full color crayon drawings of horses and bound with staples-to back up her claim. I have since moved on from Westerns to writing about Regency England (clearly I have a thing for Men In Boots!) a time and place that has captured my imagination ever since I opened the covers of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice."I have a BA and an MFA in Graphic Design from Yale University, where I studied book design (As you see, I've always had a left brain-right brain love affair with art and the printed word.) These days, when I'm not tethered to my keyboard I enjoy traveling to interesting destinations around the world-however, my favorite spot is London, where the esoteric museums, funky antique markets and used book stores offer a wealth of inspiration for my stories.
