“You have no country seat, Perry, am I right?” Grace gazed from the window as the hedgerows, dappled with snow, flashed past. “True. There was once a Hawkesbury Manor, but I think my ancestor lost it in a game of cards to one of Henry the Eighth’s cronies.” “Clumsy of him.” “He probably cheated.” A conversation between a Lady and a Gentleman in a carriage, England, Christmas 1816 Sometimes, it takes a nudge from Fate to unite a couple and awake the realization that they’re perfectly suited to each other. In the case of the self-conscious Grace Chaney and the intellectual Sir Peregrine Hawkesbury, the nudge Fate produces is an ice storm, trapping them in a house that doesn’t belong to either of them, and with a family they’ve never met. Lively children, horrid weather and unusual circumstances aside, Perry and Grace manage to capture some Christmas spirit of their own, with the help of a piano and Grace’s musical brilliance. But whether it will last or not—well that’s a decision they’ll make on Christmas Eve – if they can find each other, that is. Was Shakespeare correct? Is music truly the food of love? Find out when Perry and Grace play on!

I'm really rather boring... Honestly. I live a pretty hum-drum life as a wife and mother. I shop at the local supermarket and use coupons now and again. See? Boring stuff. I live in Virginia now, so I am learning all kinds of new things - such as being able to buy beer and wine along with bread and toothpaste. Wow! Having been born and raised in England, I do possess a well-developed feel for the English countryside. Comes in handy for those Regency tales. Even though I was transplanted over to the US side of the Atlantic, I still have ties to all things Brit. I bake sausage rolls and make Christmas pudding. You can take the girl out of England, but not England out of the girl, I guess. I'm not sure anyone can write really well unless they read. A lot. I read anything and everything these days. And mostly on my couch with a book on my knees. Yes, the technology is out there for electronic versions, but there's not much to compare with a shiny new hardcover from a favorite author.
