Lady Ophelia Winter is quite content with her life, except that she does not like her name and rejects every possible suitor she's introduced to. Her father does not know how to cope with his headstrong daughter, but Lord Winter, the Viscount of Hethersett, is determined to find a good match for her. When Ophelia finds and reads a letter addressed to her father, she discovers a shocking truth about herself, her heritage, and her life that she did not expect. Although difficult, she learns to accept her new reality. Things seem to go rather well for a while until she clashes with some of the young ladies of the ton about Lord Garrett Haywood, the Duke of Ashford. The young man confuses her. On the one hand, he appears to be an arrogant and self-absorbed aristocrat, nearly engaged to someone else, yet her heart is to be hopelessly lost shortly after she meets him. When the young woman stands up and protects a maid from her employer for a second time and witnesses a conversation not meant for her ears, she does not expect to unearth a collection of dark secrets that connects several families at once.
Rebecca Lange is a devoted romantic at heart. Though she has explored a variety of genres throughout her writing journey, her deepest passion lies in historical fiction-particularly stories set in the 1800s American West and the Regency era. A passionate advocate, Rebecca uses her stories to raise awareness of abuse, human trafficking, and the devastating impact of drug and alcohol addiction. These themes are not woven in for suspense alone, but as a reminder that such struggles are tragically real-and that victims are never to blame. She is also a firm believer in women's rights, inspired by the courageous women of the 1800s who fought to prove they were not the property of their husbands but their partners and equals. Rebecca upholds the conviction that violence has no place in relationships or marriage. Originally from Germany, she was born and raised there before moving abroad in 2002 to serve a mission for her church in Scotland. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she now lives in Utah with her husband, their two sons (ages 18 and 20), and two lively Yorkie puppies. Her writing motto is: Never Smut, Always Sizzling Kisses, Consistently Closed Door. Rebecca delights in weaving passion and tenderness into her stories, offering what she calls "sweet and diet spice" romance. Diet spice-what is that, you ask? It's the thrill of longing gazes, passionate kisses, and close embraces that build anticipation without ever crossing into explicit territory. For her, the most powerful love stories are those that remain tasteful and teasing, proving that romance can be both heart-stirring and wholesome.
