( A lush Scottish historical romance in the vein of Karen...)
A lush Scottish historical romance in the vein of Karen Ranney and Karen Hawkins. An ancient curse, a pair of meddlesome ghosts, a girl on the run, and a fateful misunderstanding make for the perfect chance at true love. Lady Caroline Forrester is on the run from her brother's scheme to marry her off to the highest bidder. An escape to Scotland offers a chance at employment as a governess and freedom from an unhappy marriage—it's the perfect solution. But Caroline wasn't prepared for the feelings that her new employer brings out in her. Alec McNabb, the reluctant Earl of Glenorne, never expected to return home to Scotland. But now that he's there, he realizes he has obligations that he cannot escape. Alec needs to marry well, and quickly. When a case of mistaken identity—coupled with the sensual, magical atmosphere of Glenorne Castle—results in a passionate encounter, Caroline and Alec must decide whether their attraction is enough to overcome the problems of their pasts, or whether this one chance at true love was over before it began …

What a Lady Most Desires (The Temberlay)
( True desire always finds a way . . . On the night befo...)
True desire always finds a way . . . On the night before the final battle against Napoleon, Lady Delphine St. James finds herself dancing with the one man she has always wanted, Major Lord Stephen Ives. He makes it clear he has no time for a lady he sees as flirtatious and silly, but as the call to arms sounds, she bids him farewell with a kiss that stirs them both. When he returns gravely injured, she is intent on caring for him, even if his surly behavior tests her patience. After the battle, Stephen is not only wounded and blind, but falsely accused of cowardice and theft. The only light in his dark world is Delphine, the one woman he never imagined he could desire. But she deserves more than he can give her. As their feelings deepen and hidden enemies conspire to force them to part forever, can their love survive the cruelest test of all?

Lecia Cornwall
Edit ProfileCareer
She became interested in history after watching the miniseries The Six Wives of Henry VIII at the age of ten, which prompted her to begin reading about the Plantagenets and the Tudors, as well as fairy tales. To learn how to write a novel, she read as many medieval romances as possible at her local library, including works by Jo Beverley, Philippa Gregory, Jude Deveraux, and Julie Garwood. Having exhausted the library"s offerings on the subject, Cornwall discovered Bernard Cornwell"s "dashing, brave, tormented, inspiring hero" Richard Sharpe, who interested her in reading other Regency-era fiction by such authors as Mary Balogh, Julia Quinn, and Eloisa James.
She also read non-fiction works on the era.
Cornwall considers the Regency period to be "One of history"s most fascinating eras. Not only do you have the English aristocracy at its peak, complete with titles, grand homes, art and the most baffling code of social behavior ever, you have the sweeping backdrop of great world events — soldiers marching to war, the rise and fall of nations, the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution, and new ideas in practically every field, from fashion to fiction." Cornwall"s writing career began in 2009, when she learned that one of her manuscripts had attracted a literary agent wishing to represent her.
This manuscript became Cornwall"s debut novel, Secrets of a Proper Countess, which was published by Avon Books in 2011. Secretariat in the Regency period, it follows the widowed Countess Isobel Maitland, who is kept as a virtual prisoner by her husband"s family until she meets Lord Blackwood, a known scoundrel who is secretly a government spy.
A lover of fairy tales, Cornwall approached the story as a hybrid of Cinderella and The Scarlet Pimpernel.
Publishers Weekly stated that the novel had "just the right blend of mystery, manners, and passion," with "truly nefarious villains, plenty of action, and a dash of glamour" that made it "a seductive read." Avon Books published her novella, All the Pleasures of the Season, in 2011. One of Cornwall"s first Regency story drafts was later published in 2012 as How to Deceive a Duke. Publishers Weekly opined that the chemistry of the novel"s two protagonists "will draw the reader into a fast-paced novel that travels from the English countryside and London to the battle of Waterloo." In 2013, Avon published her sixth work, Once Upon a Highland Summer.
