Sweet Regency Historical Romance The Earl of Blackthorn... Wounded by his first wife’s infidelity, the handsome and wealthy earl has hardened his heart against any thought of love. He has no need of that fictitious emotion when he can have any woman he wants. Unless the woman he wants is his children’s new governess. Sloane Donovan... Hired by his sister during his absence, the young widow is unlike any governess he has ever met. Lovely, charming, and highly principled, she meets his gaze directly, speaks her mind, and has accomplished wonders with his children. Can this lady of quality—in every sense of the word—do the same for him? Note: Blackthorn’s Heart is a revised version of Unwilling Heart published in print by Leisure Books, 1988. The Ladies of Quality Collection—A maid, a governess, and a mad heiress. But are they truly what they seem? Three stand-alone Regency historical romances. Hawk’s Lady Ryland’s Love Blackthorn's Heart

aka Sharon Harlow Bestselling author Sharon Gillenwater writes stories about love—between a man and a woman, of family and home, and the everlasting love of God and Jesus. She grew up on a ranch in the Rolling Plains of West Texas, near the small town of Colorado City. Marriage took her across the country, but Texas is still dear to her heart. All of her Christian contemporary romances and most of her Christian historical romances are set in small West Texas towns filled with rugged, yet tenderhearted cowboys and strong, yet compassionate women. While on a trip to England and Scotland years ago, the history and people captured her imagination. After returning home, she discovered Regency romances and another favorite time period and setting. She currently has two Christian Regency historical romances available, along with three sweet historical Regency romances. She and her husband live in a quiet, rural area of Washington state with a wonderful view of the mountains. A friend once commented, “It’s like a writer’s retreat.” Sharon agrees and is busy dreaming up stories about Texas cowboys or English and Scottish heroes and the women who win their hearts.
