Legend foretells that when a young woman looks into the Honeywell House wishing well, she will see the face of her true love and future husband. Now, join a jilted gentleman and a runaway miss on a romantic escapade in Regency England, as they discover one kiss is worth a thousand words... She Desired A Love Story All Her Own... Desperately fending off the advances of her late employer's nephew, Miss Emily Pearce fears she may have killed the man and flees into the night. Stumbling across the grounds of Honeywell House, she looks into the old wishing well—and is stunned to see the face of a handsome gentleman reflected back. No ghostly vision, it is Honeywell House's summer tenant, celebrated author Sir Terrence O'Reilly, who catches her as she faints into his arms! Drawn to this captivating beauty and her mystery, he offers her a position as his secretary. But as their passion blossoms, so does a merry chase of wits and wild hearts. For despite the unexpected arrival of his former fiancée, Sir Terrence's only desire is to convince Emily she is the true heroine of the greatest love story of all—their own.

I have been reading Regency romances since I was in my teens and actually wrote my first one—a truly dreadful effort—when I was about sixteen. But since I chose to pursue an education and career in a different field (automotive technology, with minors in French and business administration), that early effort gathered dust for many years. It wasn't until after the birth of my daughter that I had the time and inclination to take up writing again. I enjoy writing and enjoy even more hearing from readers of my books. I work hard to make my Regencies accurate in period detail as well as entertaining in content.
