Much to her mother’s dismay, spirited Anne Fletcher spent her youth seeking her father’s approval by hunting and riding. More comfortable in breeches than ball gowns, Anne sees the freedoms she once enjoyed slowly taken from her in the name of fashioning her into an eligible young lady. When her parents try to force her into marriage, Anne makes a desperate attempt to salvage her last vestige of independence. If she is to marry, she will do so on her own terms. Anne strikes a deal: if she cannot secure a man for herself, she will agree to marry the husband her parents approved. She soon finds herself in the last place she would ever choose—that stifling parade of etiquette, the London Season. Anne’s plan is in motion. Now all she needs is a man willing to masquerade as her fiancé.

Life's too short to write (or read) in just one genre, right? But whether Alene's working on a high-brow historical with witty repartee or a kid's adventure series with magic and dragons, Alene's goal is to help her readers learn, laugh, and maybe even get a little choked up. If you manage to do one or all of those things while reading her books, she'd love to hear about it in your review. When not writing, Alene's probably trying to homeschool her kids, sing, or . . . who am I kidding? She’s doing dishes or laundry. So. Much. Laundry. Hopefully, she’s listening to a great audiobook, too. Alene lives in southern California with her husband, six children, a beloved auntie, and a dog named Bubs.
