Winner of the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Certificate of Excellence for Regency Comedy. The last thing Princess Mimi wanted was to kiss a bailiff, but Simon was no ordinary bailiff. Bitter from his experiences in the London marriage mart, Simon left his title behind and sought rural calm in learning the art of managing a large estate from his aunt's overseer. Instead, his peace was shattered when he bargained kisses for the rescue of a beautiful princess' bracelet.
Author
Carola Dunn is the author of more than 30 Regency romances, as well as 16 mysteries (the Daisy Dalrymple mystery series is set in England in the 1920s). Ms. Dunn was born and grew up in England, where she got a B.A. in Russian and French from Manchester University. She travelled as far as Fiji before returning to settle in California. After 30 years in the US, she says she still sounds as if she arrived a month ago. Prior to writing, Ms. Dunn’s various jobs included market research, child-care, construction—from foundation trenches to roofing—and writing definitions for a dictionary of science and technology. She wrote her first novel in 1979, a Regency which she sold to Warner Books. Now living in Eugene, Oregon, Ms. Dunn has a son in California who has just made her a grandmother, and a large black dog named Willow who takes her for a walk by the Willamette River each morning.
