PASSION WITHOUT BORDER County Clare, Ireland, 1816. Evleen O'Fallon is shocked to see the fine figure of Lord Thomas Linberry at her door. Just arrived from England, he bears the news that Evleen's young half brother Patrick —- born of the dissolute Englishman who stole her mother's heart and spent her fortune —- is the heir to a vast estate. But Patrick can only become the next Viscount Montfret if someone accompanies him to England ... Suddenly, Evleen finds herself an outcast in London's ton. No one will marry a twenty-four-year-old Irishwoman, no matter how beautiful —- but Lord Thomas' heart rejects convention and he cannot deny his attraction to the lovely lass. Their souls fired by passion that knows no country, they will find each other's arms a love that breaks every boundary ...

First place (GOLD) winner in the Romance category of the 2013 Independent Publisher (IPPY) awards for THE LAST OF LADY LANSDOWN. I was born and raised in Fresno, California, where I graduated from Fresno High School. I lived in Canada for many years, enjoying skiing and riding horses, and am a graduate of the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada with a B.S. in Computer Science. I've had many jobs in my lifetime, including working for several years as a computer programmer/analyst. However, my true passion has always been writing, so I quit my day job (something you're never supposed to do) and started writing Regency romances. After publishing several Regencies with Ballantine, Signet, and Camel Press, I switched genres. Now I'm writing western romances for Kensington Lyrical Press, all taking place in the Gold Rush days of the 1850's. I love this period of time. There's so much to write about! With my shelves full of research books, I doubt I'll change genres again. I have two daughters and am forever proud of their accomplishments—and grateful, too, that both are the kind of loving, supportive daughters every mother hopes she'll have. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I belong to the Las Vegas chapter of Romance Writers of America. I love hearing from my readers and can be reached at mailto:shirleyken360@gmail.com
