A tragic past… A near-fatal riding accident a year ago has left Lilian DeLacey unable to walk and restricts her life to books and quiet activities at home. But when her twin sister convinces her to attend just one ball, she reluctantly accepts. Wheelchair-bound, she watches the dancers with longing, until a startling familiar masculine scent unlocks memories of the mysterious man who saved her life—none other than John Andrews, the charismatic Earl of Harlow. Being back in society and meeting her very own hero, inspires Lilian to walk again. Having almost lost her life, can Lilian now risk losing her heart to the man who saved her? A fateful future… John Andrews, the Earl of Harlow returned from the Napoleonic wars with scars both inside and out. Haunted by nightmares and forced to relive the horrors of war each and every night, John can’t risk marriage with such a dark specter hanging over his life. When John attends a ball while on assignment for the Crown, he recognizes the young woman he rescued a year ago. Despite his fear of falling in love, John can’t help but be drawn to the lovely Lilian, whose courage, wit, and beauty leave him in awe. But when danger threatens, can John and Lilian overcome their painful pasts and dare hope for a future together?

Who knew I’d become an author? Not me. But when the opportunity knocked, I answered the door and welcomed it in. I approach life with as much positivity as I can—celebrating the hits and laughing at the misses. Nothing worthwhile is easy, and that includes everything in my life. But I have much to smile about—my lovely mother, a beautiful daughter, two precious granddaughters, my adorable dogs, and my sweet husband of over thirty years. He has always supported me—including uprooting to move to the other side of Charlotte, N.C. for a life change, just when we thought we were settled. If settled means not going after my dreams, then I never want to be settled. I give my all to things I enjoy—and that includes writing. In 2021, I hit the USA Today Bestselling Author list, and recently, two of my books were named RONE Finalists! I love to express myself to the point that my daughter avoids going to the movies with me because I’m that woman in the row in front of you who gleefully munches her popcorn and laughs at every hilarious scene. Loudly. Besides my family, I love chocolate, popcorn, laughter, and animals. I love animals so much that I frequently sprinkle them in my stories as secondary characters. They usually steal the show! British and American history have always interested me, so writing historical romances set in the U.K. and the US is where my passion is. When I was barely three years old, my parents divorced, and my mom moved my sister and me from New York to South Carolina to live near her parents. Juggling a full-time job and full-time school, my mother became my first genuine hero—she never waved the white flag when things were tough. And things quickly got tough. My grandmother, who helped care for my sister and me while my mother worked, became ill with cancer, and didn’t survive the surgery, dying before I was seven. Losing Grandma devastated me. She read to me and taught me to read before I started first grade. I credit her for inspiring my love of reading, and I credit my mother for encouraging me to turn my ideas into stories. When I was ten, my neighbor gave me her book club copy of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind and it remains one of my favorite books. But it was Kathleen Woodiwiss’ Shanna and Ashes in the Wind, that hooked me on historical romance and sparked my dream of becoming a published author. While I primarily write Regency Romance, I enjoy almost any period in American and British history. I love hearing from readers. To get in touch, email me at annastclaireauthor@gmail.com.
